I hope it’s not bad etiquette of me to mention something from the August 12th post
in this thread – I wanted to give some feedback about the category page redesign mentioned there, but didn’t want to bump the thread!
Putting the specific section under a cut so it's easy to reference
This is what it looks like out in the wild (sorry for any weirdness, Discourse is giving me the Processing bug again so I embedded another editor’s offsite upload):
I know near-nothing about design, so I won’t pretend I’m an expert, but the page looks pretty visually unbalanced like this. The image size on the large tiles has changed, but the font size hasn’t, so it leaves behind a lot of whitespace and can make the category look empty at a glance. It’d probably look better if the font size on the large tiles was bumped up, like it is on the Relationships category page.
(I’m also not sure if there’s enough color contrast on the category pages to keep everything from visually fading together, and categories without enough pages to fill a full row end up with a lot of empty whitespace too, but making those look better requires a level of design knowledge beyond “attended art middle school and gleaned random tips off social media.”)
