Hi Tim and everyone else following the Look & Feel progress,<br><br>So, as Dave said, we are working on basically 3 proposals for <b>Look & Feel</b> based on the same content structure/architecture:<br><br>1. <a href="http://samoff.maemobox.org/maemo_redesign/samoff-maemo.org-redesign_idea_0009b-loggedout.png">TIM</a><br>
2. ANDRE: <a href="http://openbossa.andrecunha.com/HOMEB.jpg">Dark</a> / <a href="http://openbossa.andrecunha.com/HOME5.jpg">Light<br></a>3. <a href="http://wiki.maemo.org/images/0/08/HOME_06.png">GLAUBERT</a><br><br>Following the dark/white discussion, I proposed a new version (Light) of my previous proposal just changing the colors while I was waiting for todays meeting. I agree with what was previously said that the white backgrund offer a more comfortable experience for longer periods of usage. <br>
<br>Then, why did I made the color modifications in my previous layout instead of reworking the latest proposals made by Glaubert, as requested by Tim?<br><br>Its simply because I still think that:<br><br>- in <a href="http://openbossa.andrecunha.com/HOME5.jpg">this layout</a> "Clicable areas" are well defined in the middle of the content (in your proposal aswell, but not <a href="http://wiki.maemo.org/images/0/08/HOME_06.png">here</a>)<br>
- Titles/text/links are big enough for reading anywhere (desktops, tablets...) and they are easily identified. Almost every text is displayed in size 14pt, which I think is clear enough for tablets too.<br>- content areas are well separeted but still not leaving many blank spaces.<br>
- the color scheme has lots of contrasts which brings out the texts<br><br>Thats it,<br>since content is pretty much forzen within all the options, those are some design critheria I considered important. <br>Hope to see more versions..<br>
<br>Thanks!<br><br>Cunha<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Nov 17, 2008 at 5:40 PM, Andre Cunha <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:andre.cunha@openbossa.org">andre.cunha@openbossa.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
Please don't take this the wrong way...<br>
<br>
What I'm really hoping to see is the designer (you, Glaubert, Tim)<br>
explain your choices, defend your work, and debate about this with the<br>
community. I'd have liked to see you say whether you agreed or disagreed<br>
with the comments people made (and why) before doing the work. We might<br>
save ourselves some round trips.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Dave.<br>
