Yellow or grey?
I suspect the response to this will be a resounding silence, or “we don’t care”, or, if most of the Mac fans who showed up yesterday are still around, “you’re a shit designer and an moron who should die in a fire, so who cares?”, BUT! As a pun, I messed about with the blog’s style sheet yesterday, replacing the yellow with a subtle grey background.
The original red/yellow scheme was, as precisely one guy noted on a surprisingly lengthy discussion about yesterday’s article, inspired by classic communist propaganda graphic design. Those guys weren’t fluffy bunnies, but they knew great colour and design. But I also know at least one person found the contrast a struggle, despite me dialling down the yellow a few times.
So, did you like the yellow? Do you prefer the grey? DOES ANYONE CARE? Answers on a postcard (comment) to the usual address. Randomly chosen winner gets sent a kicked swan. ← This is a joke, people all over the internet who are now accusing me of being Evil Animal Cruelty Person.
The grey doesn’t bother me as such but my personal preference is for the yellow. It feels warmer and more vibrant.
I don’t mind either colourway. In the end, its up to you and nuts to all the webmongs who complain.
the yellow is better, this is a bit boring, and misses the original point
Funnily enough, I am more concerned about the content than the stylesheet… the grey was OK, but I was gradually getting used to the yellow
I don’t know about the colours but the fact you haven’t moved the Post Comment button to the top right hand side of the page while leaving this box where it is makes it better than the App Store UI already.
I’ve gone back to the yellow for now. That will at least make anyone coming in late to Swangate happy in being able to call me a shit designer because, OH MY GOD HE USED SOME COLO(U)R.
