sidebar okay itself - bold, large and bloodred too much.
maybe sans serif. although it renders smaller than serif, it does stand out. perhaps use LWN.net logo as the prototype - thematically it's already established and quite pleasant.

I'm not a graphic designer, but The Non-Designer's Design Book taught me: if you're going to make some text bigger than other, then make it MUCH bigger (else it might look like an accident). :)
style Posted Sep 27, 2007 13:39 UTC (Thu) by jabby (guest, #2648) [Link] I like pull-quotes. The visual distinction just needs to be clean and clear. I agree with the suggestion to toggle serifs, but I would also want more space around it to separate it from the main article text, especially vertical space. I am not a designer, but I think the space surrounding the quote should be at least that of the height of a line of text, probably something like 1.5 lines as a sweet-spot.
