On 2 March we published out a number of design changes to the website. These will bring the website more inline with our new visual identity, which has been implemented in our recently published 2019 undergraduate prospectus.
Some of the key changes for you to note are:
- greater use of white as a background colour, with a reduction to the large blocks of colour previously in use at the top of our pages
- the implementation of a new font, Avenir, replacing Lato on the site
- a reduction in the amount of headings that are all in capitals, in favour of sentence case (such as in page and panel headings)
- a wide-ranging redesign of our course pages
- the removal of the dark grey boxes in intro panels – these will now be white and will look the same as non-dark-grey intro panels.
Intro panels
The last point above effectively means there is no longer any point in using the ‘intro-darkgrey’ subtemplates from the intro-panels folder. Any you have already used will simply have been restyled to look the same as the ‘intro-NOdarkgrey’ panels, so you do not need to take any action, but going forward please just use one of the NOdarkgrey options when building new pages.
