This works flawlessly in Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer 7, Opera and others. In Internet Explorer, the select lists are unstyled, but the checkboxes and radio buttons still look and function beautifully. It’s this easy:

The answer, no doubt, is a well written CV. This is your introduction and first communication with the employer. Despite of your professional experience, may it be 14 years or none, your CV decides whether you are going to be considered for the job or not.

I wonder if you knew that visitors to your website form an instant opinion? And they form it about you and your offer. This instant opinion is created subconsciously. It happens automatically within the visitors mind. It happens automatically. Your site visitors can’t help themselves. It matters not a jot how clever the text is on your page. You can have paid an expensive professional to produce your copy for you. The visitor need not read a single word, and yet they will form their instant opinion.

The quality of the images on your web page won’t make any difference. Their quality doesn’t affect in this instant opinion. You might think if you make an unrepeatable offer, that your visitor is bound to be swayed by that! I’m sorry, the instant opinion clicks in, and your brilliant offer lies unseen. This is because the instant opinion is made when your web page is displayed to your visitor. You may have guessed there is something subliminal at work here. In a way, that is right. Immediate opinions are formed by visitors to every single website. You may have already worked out that the answer is colors. When your web page appears to your visitor, the colors you’ve used go to work on the subconscious of your visitors.

Let’s be honest. Typography and the web do not go hand-in-hand. You’re limited to a choice of about 5 fonts, most of which are cheap knockoffs of ‘proper’ typefaces. You’ve got practically no fine control over kerning or line spacing, and – worst of all – there’s a very good chance that no matter what you do, no matter how hard you try – your type is going to look different on every single browser and operating system. So what is an avid graphic designer-cum-web designer to do when faced with the seemingly insurmountable task of making web type look good?

Tip 1: Don’t limit your size options

Once upon a time, we were limited to a mere 7 sizes via use of the <font> tag – thankfully current incarnations of CSS grant us much better control, so quite a fine level of control over the size can be had.

Figure 1: Newer methods of specifying sizes in CSS allow for more flexibility when choosing type size. Don’t stick to standard sizes – experiment!

Relative sizes work best- don’t forget your visitors may have a different font size setting to the default, so specifying fixed point or pixel values may make things look awfully strange. ‘Em’ units – so called as 1em is equal to the width of the lowercase ‘m’ character, are one of a few ways to scale your text proportionally. All things being equal, at default settings 1em is the same size as 12 points.

You’re not limited to while numbers, either – 0.8em is a good body font size, typically being rendered at 10pt. You can specify any number you like, and as large as you like – don’t limit yourself to sub-24pt sizes if the design warrants a larger size. Read the rest of this entry »
