Week 5

After Fay's suggestion to make a thicker underline and reverse the text I had a play.


I didn't really like the thick underline with reversed text. It felt like it was competing with the heading and felt too heavy.



So I went back to where I had started - trying the thin and thick text options.
After seeing the thick underline, this now felt too weak.



So then I tried all caps to see if this would make it stronger. But I didn't really like that either.


So I tried the thick line again but with the text in lower case. It was still too dominating.



So I tried playing with the thickness not going the full way. For the first one I kept the text aligned to the right column edge. And then tried aligning the text to the left column edge. I wasn't sold but thought I'd try it with the lower case text with the same alignings.



This was feeling too bitsy and over-thought.

I decided to go back to basics and make the line slightly thicker and make the text bold. This was definitely the most successful.
So I applied the change to all of my spreads and it definitely improved them.
