Baselines are a very nice touch, but always use judgement and don't be afraid to step out of those guidelines (or adjust the design) when you need to.
The Baseline homepage is generally aesthetically pleasing, but goes a bit overboard: the top-right introductory text sticks out sorely with its font size : line height ratio.
- jamesteow 16y agoTrue. I mean, on the startup I'm working on (http://www.votereports.org http://www.votereports.org), I threw away baselines on the instructional area largely because I wanted to make the page seem more dynamic and very different from rigid designs I've seen other people do. Baselines traditionally make a lot more sense in print design (especially books). But it's nice to have this option on the web.
