Make updates to the copy of the NE Digest to reflect the wireframe below:

Additional requirements:

proxima nova/helvetica neue (all caps, tags, secondary text)

@kaylima Can you explain a little more where this font should be used?

joshdarby commented 4 years ago

@kaylima I think this is ready for review, mainly because I think I'm at a point where I could use input on fonts and general styling now that the main layout is in place.

@josh let's:

make the header logo bigger
move the ENN logo in the footer down a bit from the other text and add the Fresh Energy logo to the right @MirandaEcho has those files, I believe

Anything else you would update @MirandaEcho ?

MirandaEcho commented 4 years ago

The logo files might already be in MailChimp right? if not I'll look around

joshdarby commented 4 years ago

Here's an updated screenshot with:

bigger header logo
"Subscribe" moved on top of nav box
more spacing between footer text and bottom logos
fresh energy logo added to footer logo area

@joshdarby - can you give the template one last check over including making sure all menu links and digest links are working appropriately? Thanks!

joshdarby commented 4 years ago

[x] Do we want to link all of the header/footer logos to their respective sites?
[x] What url should the US header link go to?

MirandaEcho commented 4 years ago

[ ] Do we want to link all of the header/footer logos to their respective sites? Yes, please!

[ ] What url should the US header link go to? The "national" category for digests. Thanks!

joshdarby commented 4 years ago

The template has been updated to with those two changes.
