CSS Zen Site: Final Critique

Today was our final critique for the CSS Zen websites.  The critique was overall positive & a number of good points were made for me to change.  First was the large scroll bar that may pose a problem for viewers with smaller monitors than the design lab's ginormous 24-inch MACs.  Second was to carry the feeling of openness I evoked in my imagery & headers into my body copy by increasing line height and either using a lighter weight of my font or a smaller size.  Third was to stylize my intro as to differentiate from just larger body copy.  And lastly was to switch the link & text colors in the sidebar.

After the critique there was about 15 minutes to make these final changes.  In this time I was able to increase line height in the body & switched 300-weight Lato out for 100-weight, as well as switch my links to white within the sidebar, which I'm hoping doesn't get confused with the white body copy.

Below are the screen shots from a scroll through my revised site.
