Description
The final stage of the project will be visual design and small layout/spacing refinements. (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Reading/Web/Desktop_Improvements/Features/Visual_Refinements)
Goals
- use visual design to further our general project goals (e.g. welcoming experience, content primary, simple/clear/accessible, distinctively Wikipedia)
- review all the various states of the interface at various screen sizes and make any final decisions that we previously deferred
Constraints
- We are not changing structural elements of the interface
- We are keeping with the legacy of form following function... a visually simple/restrained/minimal interface
- We are not creating a radically different look (i.e. should feel evolutionary, not revolutionary)
- We are keeping in mind the potential upcoming navigation restructuring work and making sure that whatever we do at this stage sets us up for that
Starting point
The starting point for this work is the current, minimally styled version of Vector 2022:
