Cardigan - Customisation

[Norvard]

To begin with, this is more of a series of questions to determine what can be done quickly in order customise and brand Cardigan.

Set of customisation ideas:

• Use our own fonts. Use Helvetica Neue and Wellcome Bold
• Insert brand logo in header + additional text e.g. Logo | Wellcome Collection pattern library
• Edit header background colour
• Change link colour
• Change background colour for left side menu
• Add images into standard pages e.g. "Overview"

Once I get an idea of whats possible from the list above, I can then put together assets and samples in order to make these edits easily and quickly.

Logo | Wellcome Collection pattern library

Where does Cardigan come into it?

Edit header background colour Change link colour Change background colour for left side menu

To what?

All of those are 100% possible with a little more information. Adding images should be, but I'll have to have a look as to where we would host them.

Where does Cardigan come into it?

Its either Cardigan (logo) or Wellcome (logo) + text (Wellcome Collection pattern library) Will make options

To what?

Something from our palette. Next step is to determine what.

What about fonts? Can we use Helvetica? (Bonus: Wellcome Bold)

So - steps in order of ease:

• Choose a colour for the header / sidebar / links
• Add logos / site heading
• Fonts

Fonts are a little tricky as I would want to check performance etc, but shouldn't be too hard.

Header background colour: Yellow #ffce3c

Sidebar background colour: Cream #eeebe2

Text (this includes non-link text in side bar): Black #1d1d1d

Link colour: Seaweed #088574

Fonts are a little tricky as I would want to check performance etc, but shouldn't be too hard.

Helvetica would be first choice if we can only have 1 font in terms of performance.

Few little update request when you get 2 secs @jamesgorrie

Can we add hero image to the overview page, plus a Cardigan icon into the top right corner? (Assets attached)
