Blog-style central column restricts responsive image arrangement #41

Closed amandavisconti closed 11 years ago

amandavisconti commented 11 years ago

The current way the theme is set up--a white column centered on the page, with colored margins on either side--restricts the usefulness of having the results images responsively reorganize themselves depending on window size (e.g. there isn't enough horizontal space for two medium size images to sit side-by-side). Is there a way to give the images slightly more horizontal space to move about when e.g. you've got an entire laptop screen to look at images?

Looking at the results page, the margins between the page background and the black box are probably set to %ages, but this probably wasn't a design decision made anywhere. It may change anyway when Amy reviews the page for UX/design but it's worth seeing if we can squeeze those margins for a more immersive, rich experience.

Chatted to Amy and ideally we'll do a special style sheet for this - something like Flickr - so this page can pack a visual punch.

If Amy gets time (and people are cool with it) we might do a smaller version of the logo for a more compact header on this page, though it should still feel very branded as a serendip-o-matic experience.

I agree that a smaller version of the logo on the results page would be very useful.

Creating a special stylesheet for results page to solve this
