Website Typeface

Graphic Design No Comments »

Quick tip of the day…

Hello and welcome to my lovely headline, which might impress you tremendously except for the fact that it’s centered, so no one can read it.

Can you read this typeface? The average person over 40 won’t have an easy time in the real world. Yet it’s still one of the most popular font/size combinations online - Verdana 10pt.

Oh and by the way, if your type is colored anything but black (and blue for hotlinks) people will have a harder time reading it. This is Verdana 12 bigger than that used on most sites, in a dark gray. Very popular in the blog world.

The Beauty of Adobe Photoshop!

I needed a professional headshot of a co-worker of mine who is currently on a business trip in Europe. After I made a miserable attempt to create one using the free application Gimp, Tina, our graphic designer, saved me with her Photoshop skills!

Which is mine, and which is hers? A or B? Take a guess!
