The current table used for listing gifts is an eyesore, to say the least. It barely accomplishes what we need from it - listing the user's gifts.
Problems with current setup
Problems arise primarily with the look of the list - the actual information is, more or less, present (with the notable exception of rating - right now it is just a number). Here are a few problems:
Centering
Elements aren't centered in their respective cells - both horizontally and vertically
Images especially are affected by this problem
Lack of Color
Some might see this as a plus; after all, more contrast is better for visually impaired. However, the gift list, in it's current state, looks drab and dark. Not fun
Haphazard placement of elements
The elements are placed in seemingly random places on the screen.
Solutions
This probably requires a complete rewrite (not that this is much of a problem - not much was written in the first place!)
We need to have a aesthetic-first design plan. Since we know how to populate the DOM with user and gift information, we must now first focus on what this document looks like.
I would love it if anyone could help me with this!
