There's absolutely nothing hucksterish about providing online Biblical resources, anymore than there is in the Chicago manual of style or Webster's dictionary having an online presence. People want info, someone should put it out there.
There is also nothing wrong with redesigning the Bible, giving consideration to scale, format, textures, materials, paper, typography, maps, etc...when things like that are handled appropriately, it can lead to a hightened sense of reverence in the minds of readers. It shows that someone respected the content enough to give it a beautiful form.
I personally would throttle an atheist (OK OK, just a little but not doing permanent damage, thou shalt not kill etc. etc.) to have a shot at designing the Bible. That's on my short list of career goals.
planet01: Overall I like it. Trade Gothic was a sensible choice for heads/tabs. A few things:
The "About" tab doesn't quite line up with your headline below.
I would recommend changing the HTML default font to prefer Georgia. Georgia is like Miller for the screen (both designed by Matthew Carter, and both would be quite suitable for a printed or online Bible – nice subtle reference to Reformation-Era typography).
- good catch on the alignment.
I do usually go with Georgia for web, I thought Times lined up with Traditional bible fonts.planet01 - with Traditional bible fonts. I might be regretting that choice.planet01
