Re: EOWG: Another pass at an image of the WCAG 2.0 documents

Hi alla - I wasn;t there for Friday's discussions so apologies if these 
suggestions cover old ground.

Looks good to me

Keep size of each box the same (currently tehcniques and undersanding 
are bigger)

Change the link text 'Techniques titles' to 'Techniques' or 'Links to 
Techniques'. Don't present it as a link (blue, underlined) unless you 
want people to click on it fruitlessly.

I am concerned that it's not necessarily clear which parts of the 
document are text/form elements and which are images of text / images of 
form elements on other pages. I think we should have a stronger visual 
signal to differentiate them. For example, put all diagrams in a 
standard outline box (suggest #ccc single px box with 5px white internal 
border, polaroid photo style), with a dark gey background to the main 
graphical elements, and with a figure caption beneath the whole thing.

Or do a torn paper edge to them and dropshadow.

Make more apparent that the 'customize this Quick Reference' graphic is 
a graphic and is not a set of clickable elements. Do this by e.g. making 
it slightly smaller and setting it in a border as suggested above. Or 
possibly even just getting rid of it.

I'm finding it hard to read at 1440x900 in a  full screen window. 
Suggest setting an em-based max-width.

Regards to all
