i suggest you learn about the role of contrast in readability/usability
- DanielN 16y agoNot meaning to be obnoxious but do you, or anyone else, have any suggested reading material on this and similar topics as they apply to web development? Thanks.
- adrianscott 16y agono offense taken, thanks for asking. i did this quick search which provided a number of resources, including a jakob nielsen (year 2000) citation, plus some more academic studies. http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=contrast+and+readability http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8...
- DanielN 16y agoThanks, that is exactly what I was looking for. I'm somewhat surprised this isn't a larger topic in web design. Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places.
- ivanzhao 16y agoMy take was that low-lighting allows me to pack in more information without cluttering the page, so all can be fit into one page.
- TheSOB88 16y agoI think that would be good if it was 'eyeover' rather than 'mouseover'. But requiring the user to expend effort just to read is frustrating.
- adrianscott 16y agoI'd encourage you to reconsider your design goals and potentially run some usability a/b tests via mturk. I'd be very willing to scroll down a useful page with info. The current design makes me want to run away (no offense intended) rather than read/hire.
