I am currently completing the transition to the new site design. The static pages were easy; the WordPress theme presents more of a challenge… soon enough.
Incidentally, the theme was inspired by a new layout I created for presentation handouts. And that’s a whole other discussion.
The PDFs are designed to be viewed full-screen on an “HD” display, or something at 16:10 ratio. I really don’t want folks to print them (you know, save the trees). But they will print too, on letter-sized paper. This particular presentation is for EdTech 2009 in Ashland, Virginia.
Some time ago, I fancied making really posh PDFs. But then OS X came along, and Preview, and then they didn’t do all those fancy things anymore. But I still think it’s cool that such a small file can produce such a gorgeous looking document (not mine, in particular; no bragging!). While I use Helvetica on the site, I used Formata and Minion Pro for the PDF.
