[DesDev] Design to template

Login part was modified:

Also, I think that the blue Cube and Work title in the black bar is
soundly reflected in the blue cube, blue bar and Work title in the
sub-header.

I have tried a tab, and it ruins the black bar. I refuse to use a line
down from the cube as someone (sorry, can't remember who) has suggested
in the past.

Your suggestion
(http://nemendur.ru.is/elfur01/temp/evolt_article2-elfur.gif) that helps
you associate the blue cube to the subheader is, IMO, too stark. I'm not
sure how the extra white helps you associate the header and subheader.

My thinking is that the taupe under the login/search block pulls it back
somewhat. The white-bg'ed article area gains the contrast (and thus
focus), and that is the important point. People who are using evolt.org
will know where the login/search are; people arriving from Google (for
e.g.) are there primarily for the article itself. Any option of joining
or undertaking further searches are a secondary function.


I think that your trouble of associating the header cubes with the
subheader block comes from not being able to navigate through a real
site styled like this. Once it's built, it'll be 'click red cube. Oh,
red header. Click blue cube. Oh, blue header!'
