Re: Typography Check (was FLASH: Site Check: ITVerge.com)

[Karin Christensen]

And Paul is correct.  The untrained eye when faced with poor design

will detect that something is wrong but not know what it is.  They may

feel that the information is confusing or uninteresting when it isn't.

The rules of design are often based on mathematical principles, but

mainly on how the human eye perceives information.  Design principles

that

worked hundreds of years ago still work today.  For example, one bad

use of

typography that you will see on web sites is text that runs from one

end of the

computer screen to the other.  The eye gets tired and wanders if the

lines

of text are too long.  No matter what your personal preference is, it

will still be

hard to read.

David, you should do exactly what you want to do.  Less competition

that way.
