Big Fonts in Web Design

August 08, 2009 from PauloGabriel's blog

Web design has its own limitation, and us, web designers, have been working and learning how to overcome these constraints to create better solutions. Typography is our most important asset and we're seeing that designers are applying old concepts that they've learned from print design and applying to web design, in the right way. That's why we've been seeing more and more big contrasts in font sizes.

In this post we selected some pages that we have for inspiration to show you that.

 Playing with CSS 3 - Animations, Rotate and Scale
I have been working on the new Abduzeedo design and have had the chance to play more with CSS 3, even though it's not fully supported on all browsers we can start using some really cool features such as round corners, text-shadow, box-shadow, transitions and transformations. The major downside still is Internet Explorer, however it seems that the IE 9 will have a much better CSS 3 support and support those features.
