Emails about header

 (12 September 08h41)
Good morning!
 
Yes, I see what you mean that now the subtitle looks fine, now the styling is realigned (re the orphan).
 
Thanks for adding the facility for the short chapter description on the homepage.
 
The update to the header is definitely in the direction the ODI approver was requesting re putting the title on the transparent background and I think that part of it is quite successful.
 
I think her proposal was that the edges of the white transparent box would not be hard lines as you have them, and that the logos would run alongside (eg be tucked flush with) the header title, either on the side of or just hovering above that title, so that the transparent white box would not take up the entirety of the height of the header banner but just about one third or one half the height of the header banner. The transparent white box would also not necessarily run all the way up to the bottom margin of the header banner but could be inset slightly.
 
It's hard for us to know if this would work unless you just try it out (sorry). Would you mind trying just so we could see if that idea is viable? I am not sure, I have attached a mock-up.
 
The other idea would be to separate the white transparent background of the logos into one slim rectangle at the top of the header and then make another slim white transparent rectangle to ‘house’ the title at the bottom of the header.
 
Best wishes, Mairi

Another header request 12 SEPTEMBER 11H41



Hi Ian
 
So here is the further feedback I have received on the revised header:
 
-Can you make the GLOW and SSN logos the same height as the ODI and CDKN logos? The GLOW and SSN ones seem shorter. If you slightly edge up the size of these, it may also make the ‘Gender Equality in a Low Carbon World’ words in the GLOW logo slightly more readable.
 
SSN logo seems to have a too-big space between it and the ODI logo, can you check the spacing there and nudge them a bit further together?
 
The ‘North’ of ‘SouthSouthNorth’ is disappearing a wee bit into the background. I have flagged in internal conversations that we may have limited options to address this as you have made that white banner transparent so that we can optimise having a view of the underlying photo and also the logos on top. Can you experiment with any minor tweaking of the transparency levels of the white box to see if we can slightly increase the visibility of the ‘North’ without compromising on the aesthetic of the underlying photo? I am honestly not sure that this is going to be possible and I think that as a default position, we may keep it as it is. But just see through experimentation if there is any tweak that would help?
 
Best, Mairi
