Welcome to the fourth edition of the CSS3 training in the Web Developer Classroom series. In the first sessions up to this point we have seen about the various new selectors available with CSS3 and various ways in which the typography element of a web page can be enhanced like embedding web fonts, visually tweaking the various properties associated with the look and feel of the text element etc. In this edition we are going to look at the ways in which the colors of a web page can be controlled and manipulated to enrich the aesthetic factors of a page design.

Like the choice of the right typography the choice of right colors and using them with good effect are important in the visual presentation of an online document or content. Like typography colors can add to the personality and mood of the web page and can play an important role in conveying the correct message across to the target audience. Colors can really set the tone of a web page and can make an impressionable statement on the viewer’s mind. Factors like Artistic feels, the tone of the product or service being depicted, the mood that the page is intending to create, the demography of the audience with whom the page is trying to connect etc. all can lead to the choice of colors on a web page.

Welcome to the third edition of the CSS3 session in the Web Developer Classroom series. In the first two sessions we have seen about the various new selectors available with CSS3 and how to work with web based fonts to enhance the overall visual appeal of a web page. In this edition we are continuing from where we have left the last session and are going to learn about additional typography enhancement techniques available with CSS3 which can be used to control the textual elements of a webpage.

In the last session we learned that Typography is an important element in the visual presentation of an online document or content. We have covered a lot of ground in that session about working with custom typefaces for adding a personality for a webpage and making a connecting impact with the target audience of the webpage. Choosing the correct font type is only one of the many elements which control the typographic appeal of a web page and CSS3 provides tools which can be used to minutely control the various other factors like spacing between letters, words and lines, text alignment, text indentation etc.
