One comment:
“Readers are conditioned to look at larger and darker items as being more important than smaller lighter ones”
I — and everyone I’ve ever mentioned this to — often subconsciously skip over things that are larger and darker as I skim a page looking for something. My conditioning is that they’re normally the thing the page author wants me to look at (adverts, pointless callouts, etc) rather than anything I’m actually looking for.
Great stuff Brad
Very Useful! Keep them coming!!!
A nice way to teach. I like the way. keep it Brad.
This is one unique way to make an article. . . very interesting. . .
This is a great tutorial. Learning at every step in a way that is fast, fun, and hopefully memorable. Nice Job.
Ironically, the present version of owltastic lacks some contrast. The color scheme looks quite like the screenshot above. It’s pretty close to gray and (brown) gray in (blue) gray…
I love your tutorials, so much more fun with a splash of colour
