The dev blog for Justin Duewel-Zahniser's Chapbook poetry sharing web app project. I'm going to post random stuff here that's too big for the dev list and hopefully get conversations going with testers/users.

Re-Design Imminent?

Not sure what to do with it yet, but I’m not happy with the placeholder design.  You might say, well, it’s a placeholder design.  It bugs me nonetheless and the best way to get back to coding is to stop the design from bugging me.

So, I think I might do some paper prototyping.  Here are the principles that I’m going to try to work from:

  • Text of a poem should be significantly more prominent than all other aspects of the page.
  •  Two-color is getting old.
  • I sort of feel like giving up vertical space for poem text to nav elements is a bad idea.
