This is coming from my other topic. I made it into a layout. I'm opening a new site, Foreverangle.info but it's not up yet.

My Q's:
1.) Did I choose a good font or do I need to change the font?
2.) Did I choose an okay color for the content and navigation areas?
3.) Is there anything I should change?

Typography is part of graphic design.
Basically working with text is typography.
Them saying you need to learn typography means that you should work on what you can do with text, especially because your text usually doesn't fit with your image.

The golden ratio, the rule of thirds, etc. has a lot to do with it
Because if you follow those rules, it'll look aesthetically pleasing - it's been proven by science (I think)
For instance, the Mona Lisa, one of the most 'beautiful' paintings uses the golden ratio, which is why it's so aesthetically pleasing. Another is 'The Last Supper' - another famous piece of artwork.
The golden ratio wikipedia page talked about that, if you bothered to read it.

And it's not stupid shit by the way.
Besides, a lot of people think that order in a piece of art
Makes it look better
Maths can help with that.




Also, please TRY to work on matching colours. I don't think you've gotten that much better at it.
