Post Style Guidelines

Check and correct all posts against these guidelines prior to posting them.

General

• Use proper categories for all posts (not ‘zero’).
• Do not use numbered assignment categories for posts such as ’02 Helvetica’ as they are for instructor use only.
• You do not need your name in the page title.
• Use proper capitalization, spelling and grammar.
• List the authors for all example work (if possible).

Formatting

• No spaces between paragraph header and paragraph.
• Remove all extra lines.
• Create clear divisions for different sections if necessary.
• Remove colons “:” after headers on their own line.
• Do not center the page titles or headers.
• Do not indent the first line of type.
• Do not underline anything.
• Do not use multiple colors for text or header elements.

Links

• Do not have ‘naked’ URL links.
• Test all links.
• Use descriptive link names.
• Annotate (short descriptions) links.
• Links should open a new page.

Images

• Put images next to designer names.
• Use medium sized images for design examples (600px or less)
• Use the gallery function for 5 or more images.
• Manually resize images to be consistent if necessary.
