Chin’s testing the Compass functionality, which will let him update the site feature by feature without rebuilding it each time. https://wiki.lib.sun.ac.za/index.php/SUNScholar/XMLUI_Theme/M2/Customisation/Palette
Roboto font recommended. To do: check if Roboto is available. Second best: Ariel/Helvetica
All work on this will be tracked through this Jira ticket
Two ‘logos’ are needed: one for print, and one for the header of the website.
Decision: logo will say TUScholarShare + Beta. Will be white on red. Rachel Cox (Unlicensed) will do a mockup incorporating these changes, then communicate them to the team. The revised ‘TULibraries logo will go in the footer’. While the header will be cherry, the footer will have a white background, as in out-of-the-box dspace. Rachel Cox (Unlicensed) will upload
Decision: for the soft launch the default dspace fonts will be retained
Action items
- Rachel Cox (Unlicensed) will redesign the logo, informing the group when she’s done and posting the logos via this Jira ticket. She’ll also provide the hex values for the colors selected
- Alicia Pucci will make sure the hex values and graphics are in this document
