Color Theory and Contrast Ratios

Thu, 26 Dec 2019 16:31:00 +0100

There are no definites with color. Sure, you have your red, your green, and so on — but even that is relative. Try to describe a specific red color to a friend. Chances are the description will settle on, for example, is the color more of a brick-red or a fire truck-red? Describing a color that looks similar to another color is natural way to discuss or express color. But when getting into specifics — accurately defining what it a certain color is — it’s almost impossible. Color, at its core, is a relative and personal experience.

Improve your photographic composition by following these guidelines

Thu, 29 Sep 2016 00:16:00 +0100

First of all we have to define what is meant by ‘composition’. Composition refers to the way the various elements in a scene are arranged within the frame. As I’ve already mentioned, these are not hard and fast rules but guidelines. That said, many of them have been used in art for thousands of years and they really do help achieve more attractive compositions. I find that I usually have one or more of these guidelines in the back of my mind as I’m setting up a shot.

A Short History of the O’Reilly Animals

Sat, 01 Jun 2013 00:06:00 +0100

In the mid-1980s, O’Reilly (aka O’Reilly & Associates) was selling short books on Unix topics via mail order. These books, known as ”Nutshell Handbooks,” were held together by staples, and had plain brown covers. Over time, Tim O’Reilly decided that he wanted to sell the books through brick-and-mortar bookstores, and hired a graphic designer to create new book covers. Those covers were used for the first two titles that were sold into bookstores, but Tim wasn’t satisfied with the design.

Which Are More Legible: Serif or Sans Serif Typefaces?

Mon, 27 Aug 2012 21:12:00 +0100

Back in 1998 when Times New Roman was still widely used on the web, my then boss made sure we always designed our web sites with Arial, as she hated the look of serif fonts on the web. Was it the case that sans serif fonts were more legible, or was it just a matter of taste?

In 2003 as part of my master’s degree I reviewed over 50 empirical studies in typography and found a definitive answer.

An argument has been raging for decades within the scientific and typographic communities on what seems a very insignificant issue: Do serifs contribute to the legibility of typefaces, and by definition, are sans serif typefaces less legible? To date, no one has managed to provide a conclusive answer to this issue.

This article focuses mostly on a few simple macrotypographic techniques”with a dash of micro”and on how to combine them all to build a more harmonious, adaptable and, most importantly, readable Web page.
