In the interest of improving the quality of Wargaming Tradecraft, I've been spending the last little while upgrading all my Index pages to a graphical layout. In addition to the Primary Indexes linked at the top of the site, I've also upgraded the Airbrush Index and the Dictionary.
As I work to make this site more professional, I want visitors to be able to quickly and easily find the information they're after. Visuals are one way to strongly communicate what it is you're reading about and grab attention fast. I've also changed links to "Google blue" due to studies that it's just what we're expecting and they get more clicks.
Let me show you what I'm talking about:

These expand on all the areas of miniature hobbying and contain much more detail. | |
Modelling Steps

Musings

In addition to this, I've improved my social media covers. You'll notice I left out the site name from these and that's because when you're on the page, it already overlays that for you. I want to capture the viewers attention and convey what Wargaming Tradecraft is about, showing off reasons why you should follow the things I do.
Would you believe that not only is that me in the right photo, but I took it myself? |
YouTube covers are awkward and giant because it has to be sized for viewers accessing the channel from a TV. On computers, tablets and phones, it just uses a strip along the center. |
