A graphic like this is something that we've been needing for awhile, so I took a stab at it.

Feel free to modify, expand, etc.

Btw, open it in a new tab/window to see it at full size; don't just click on the embedded image in this thread.


 No.9455

Once we have a more definitive list together we should go ahead and start collecting the files to make an upload.

Pierre Krebs' work is pretty pagan too.

Cool beans, go ahead and add it, or I'll just wait for more suggestions and feedback and add a big batch of them in the Mark II version of the graphic

After some further thought, I'm thinking about putting books like Pierre Krebs, Julius Evola, etc. in a separate section called "Radical Traditionalism." Books likes this aren't directly about the Germanic Heathen worldview in particular, but are, in essence, a distillation of the overall Pan-Indo-European Traditionalist worldview, and therefore compliment and elucidate the Germanic Heathen worldview.

It's unreadable at that size. It's almost as bad as a typical /a/ shitlist.

If you want to see if an image is legible, you shrink your browser to 960 pixels wide.

I'll unfuck the design later when I have some time.

Could you elaborate further? I just downloaded a Chrome extension that emulates different browser resolutions, and though it requires scrolling, it's quite legible. (Did you follow the advice of this link?: >>9453 )

Nevertheless, I do not own a smart phone, and thus designed this graphic with a large format desktop PC in mind, so there could be some factors that I'm not aware of.

I know how to resize my browser window. My Xorg screen is 3520 pixels wide. I was not having trouble implementing your advice. I willfully ignored it and will continue to do so.

>My Xorg screen is 3520 pixels wide. I was not having trouble implementing your advice. I willfully ignored it and will continue to do so.

Okay, so now I know that you monitor setup is a high enough resolution that there was no need to open it in a new window to see it at full size in the first place. I get it. I had no intention of insulting your intelligence, but people are people, and they make mistakes and overlook things. You'd be surprised how often a problem can be resolved just by asking even an intelligent person "did you plug it in?"

I designed the graphic to be legible when zoomed in on a monitor that is 1680 x 1050 (in other words, my monitor resolution) I assume that the problem is that on your setup, it looks like a picture for ants. My setup is incapable of a 3520 X 2480 resolution, so I wouldn't know.

I do not even know how common the aforementioned resolution is. If that is the specific problem, let me know so I can take it into consideration for future designs.

How's this size for your monitor? (and this time you'll have to follow my advice to see it full size :p )

Won't even click it if you say that.

I will fix the layout. I just don't have time at this instant.


 No.9484

>>9483

Fair enough, but what's the deal? Are you a stickler for it being sized and legible to your particular monitor without having to open it in a separate window/tab?

No, I want the graphic to be useful to lots of people. That means it has to be convenient and easy to read. You've designed it so that it is very difficult to read, and in fact so that the only way it's even possible to read it is to blow it up so huge that it blots out literally everything else on your screen.

Think for a moment about someone trying to actually use this chart to get copies of the books. You are expecting him to cover his entire screen with your picture that is insanely wide for no reason, then change to a different tab to search the web or a bookstore with a browser that is now ridiculously wide, so the lines of text on the screen are too long. But he can't refer back to the image to make sure he's typing the right thing, because it's too wide to fit on the fucking screen at the same time as the other thing he's doing.

The problem before you as you assemble this image is not "how do I fit all this information into a picture?" and it certainly is not "what is the easiest way for me to paste all this crap into the image editor without thinking about it?". The problem before you is "how do I make a list of books for people to read that they can use to find copies of those books?".

The most useful thing would be to just post a list using text and not have an image at all. Then he can just copy and paste instead of having to stare at your information and manually retype it. But of course I understand that imageboard culture lends itself to saving and reposting images so we might as well have an image with the same information.

The key, though, is to completely and totally forget about the horrible images like this that you have seen on other boards, because they are impossible to use. These images are the reason that /a/ is flooded with recommendation threads. They are so difficult to use to actually find anime to watch that no one actually uses them.

The solution is really easy. You can still make a big image. You just make it tall, not wide.

But like I said, don't worry about it. I will do it for you when I get a moment. Maybe after I get back from the grocery store.

By the way, you're not meant to use your browser maximized so that it covers the entire screen. Most websites look much nicer at around 1150 to 1350 pixels wide. Even if this just means you have a big blank spot where there is nothing on your screen, it makes reading the text easier because the lines are shorter and your eyes don't have to zoom back and forth to follow the text. Try it sometime.

>Try it sometime.

Or you could zoom in on the full screen browser to make the text bigger. I'm zoomed in at 190%.

Thank you for finally just being straightforward with me. I wish you had just said this stuff sooner. The graphic I designed for this thread is literally the first time I've done something like this, so I will be taking notes and learning from your refined edit as well as your post.
