Hi all,
It's good to see the Ubuntu forums evolving into a design that is more close to
the new Ubuntu brand guidelines. Good work!
Most of the points we've mentioned at the UDS session regarding the design have
already been covered by Mike, so here's a list of what we think would benefit
the design further and could bring the design more in line with the guidelines.
These are things Jef (who offered to help Mike) might want to try out.
* Colours:
The orange is now following the guidelines, that's great. You might
also want to try and instead of using orange for the headers in the tables use
the grey (#AEA79F). You can see it on the web guidelines, on the tables page.
This will make the pages a bit less loud and will add a nice level of hierarchy
between header, footer and main content.
I've noticed you're using a blue colour on the borders of the table
headings. This colour doesn't exist in the guidelines. Making the borders white
or removing them altogether might improve the overall design.
* Headings:
The title of the pages can/should be larger (the h1 element), to make
it clearer which page the user is in
* Drop shadows:
If possible, the drop shadows on tables should be removed, as they make
the tables look heavier and they don't conform to the guidelines
The design is definitely going in the right direction, and I think with just a
few tweaks it will be ready to go live and testing.
Best,
Yaili.
