Show degrees on profile thumbnail #85

Closed JonKusner closed 5 years ago

JonKusner commented 5 years ago

Once an individual specifies their degrees we shouldhave some way for them to show from the thumbnail. This will allow us to make names much more consistent (taking degrees and titles out of the "Name" field).

I am in favor of not having a title section that says "degrees" on the thumbnail but rather have the degrees follow the name in-line, comma separated, in a lighter font color than straight #000000 black like the name is. This will still communicate the information but will visually emphasize the mentor's name (we would have to play around with the exact shade, to optimize readability while still having this name-preference effect).

A question I have is whether this styling should continue into the profile page, in addition to the "Degrees" field.

Could look like that

Could also play with the font size (this is 85%) image

razzius commented 5 years ago

Combination no comma and 85% font (though this style guide recommends comma)

Any of these combinations are doable. Deploying 100% font size with comma to staging (first screenshot)

JonKusner commented 5 years ago

My vote is for the second of these three options: Font 85% with comma. I think the gray looks excellent!

jjchen20 commented 5 years ago

Agreed, the gray and commas at 100% look excellent! Can we maintain the degrees in the order that faculty input them? For example, some faculty may be particular about MD, PhD, or another order for their degrees.

Done
