Hey guys.
Just posted my Malphite guide today, and took myself some time to make a good looking layout, which would make the guide look interesting, however so far nobody seems to have given it any attention dispite the many views.(Probably mostly myself checking out the layout, though)

Anyway, this isn't a cry for attention, but more of a question:

What do you want to see, layout-wise, in order to want read on and on? Do you prefer a lot of explaination, or just short descriptions of the choices in the guide? Does it in your eyes help anything, if all of the text is in a different color? (Still readable, ofc.)

I'd like some answers to these questions for future guide-writing C:

Did you specifically make it all yellow or did it just come out that way cause it is pretty hard on the eyes. I stopped looking for ways to improve it cause my eyes were getting sore. I'm not trying to be mean at all just saying that would be a start.

Hm. I was looking for something new, when I made the text yellow. I don't have any problems reading it, though. But I did figure that it might keep people from wanting to read "the rest" once the read a little of the guide :S

But yes, I did do it on purpose, in order to try and be original. I first thought I'd make the text a different color, and brown seemed like an obvious choice, but when I tried it out, it seemed too dark. And somehow I just found that yellow was light and original, so that's what I went with I guess :P It's a lot of coding to change it all, so I'm not sure. Are there other colors you have good reading experience with, which I might be able to use?

EDIT: I just noticed that green seems to be a solid choice for the text. I'm trying to change it all now :P

Take 3~10 minutes, and read it yourself.

If you can enjoy reading it, it's good. Improve where it feels needed.
(Although this may be a questionable matter of personal aesthetics)

One thing I'd say is, centering all the text does not make me a happy reader.
Centering headers, maybe, but paragraphs are preferred in regular formatting I believe.
