People who are new to design technologies, may want to know answers for the following questions:
- What fonts and font family should be generally used?
- What font sizes are most appropriate?
- What unit of fonts are appropriate for what purpose?
- Should one use px, pt or em?
- How can one create a design that suits different devices and screen sizes?
I've been trying to figure out way to make a more appealing design by asking these questions. Anyone who is help me is heartly welcomed.

Re: About Fonts
This could be dependant on the design. For readability you can go for sans-serif type fonts : Helvetica, Arial, Verdana etc.suvenile wrote:- What fonts and font family should be generally used?
Probably related to design again but sans-serif ones tend to read easier on a monitor imo.suvenile wrote:What font sizes are most appropriate?
Do you mean for headings, paragraphs, etc?suvenile wrote:What unit of fonts are appropriate for what purpose?
Em is the best option of the threesuvenile wrote:Should one use px, pt or em?
You can use different stylesheets dependant on screen width and make layouts fluid, i.e use percentages instead of px.suvenile wrote:How can one create a design that suits different devices and screen sizes?
