Social Preview image for Github #46

Closed Blessing1135 closed 8 months ago

Blessing1135 commented 1 year ago

Social Preview Image for Github open-life-science#4 After researching what a social preview is, I got to understand that social preview are cards that give a preview of what a shared link will lead to across all social media page like Twitter, slack, and linked-in, etc., this is also eye catchy which make users get interested to click and see what that sites actually look like. Well, I just got into UI/UX design a few months ago and for now, this design was made using the Figma App which I am more familiar with and also comfortable with for now, and I also hope to explore other Apps for better usage and understanding as time goes on, The colors used for this design are Green with a color code of #28a82d, Blue with a code of #287aab, White and Black with an opacity of 100% and 95% respectively, Using the Montserrat font for all texts using 36px for the header and 24px for body text. However, I tried to check the project guides on Colors, Fonts, and other tools but couldn't find any so I decided to go with the brand colors generally creating my own Code in the meantime. I also used the 8px grids. attach above is also the link to the file uploaded.

Thanks for the great work @Blessing1135 ! Two bits of feedback from me, and a thought I hadn't considered before!

  1. The detail you've provided about font, font size and colours is excellent! I will try to think of where else this clarity can come in handy
  2. There is a lot of blank space beneath the GitHub link and the elements become misaligned. Try to align elements more clearly. For example: could OLS' logo at the bottom right be bigger and at the same height as the contributors on the left?
  3. Gradients for OLS' name! I wonder if we should consider gradients as opposed to solid colours when representing OLS! I'll mention this in #38 and see what people think šŸ˜Š

(Also just making sure to link this PR to issue #14!)

(Oh no, I'd written this yesterday but never hit "comment" ā€“ sorry!)

@Ismael-KG good day, I have made adjustment to this PR and also linked it to issue #20 ,I await your comments once again.Thank you.

Ismael-KG commented 1 year ago

Great to see, @Blessing1135! It all fits in a lot more nicely now. Two final thoughts:

  1. the link and blue star align differently in the third proposal. Make sure to align them consistently!
  2. I have created confusion! #20 is not an issue at all! We should be linking to issue #14 ā€“ but don't worry, the link is made and you don't need to link it again šŸ˜Š

@Ismael-KG Thank you once again for the feedback and the time, however, I don't understand what you mean by the link and the blue star alignment maybe you could elaborate on it because there is no blue star in the image but I have done a few adjustments though. thank you. OLS preview page 3 (1)

Blessing, thank you so much for your contribution!

As much as this cannot be merged, since OLS has a working design system now, it does not take away from the valuable work done here. Thanks and best of luck! ā¤ļø
