Design, uninterrupted #84

October 18th, 2010

Today’s post highlights the design of ACosmin.com. Thick overlapping diagonal strokes in the header follow a recent trend noted in an earlier entry, and a warm four-color palette is put to a creative use throughout the visual elements, section headers and clickable elements.

On a less attractive side, the all-caps bold serifs are too heavy to be used as blog entry titles, especially given very short cut-off length of entry descriptions. The all-caps are also overwhelming the typography of the site footer, with ragged unevenness of double dotted lines that adds too much visual noise without serving any real purpose.
