A commentary on the use of typography and background images is part of the new stuff over at Web Page Design For Designers. You wouldn’t think that the concept of placing text on top of imagery so it’s still legible would be that hard to pound into someone’s skull. But judging by the number of people building (I won’t go as far as to say designing) web sites that are obviously not intended to be comprehended by any living being on this big blue marble — it’s still a reasonably large issue. For those that want to do type right, this article is a good starting point. Author Joe Gillespie covers letterform legibility, onscreen contrast, the effects of advancing and recessive colour choices, and other tips. This was a useful refresher. Yes, even for a guy like me who rarely strays from the comfortable safety of black on white.
