Are you interested in Jewish History? You are! I have news for you then—there is a new museum that just opened in Vancouver.

I’m sure you are wondering why I’m plugging Jewish history. It’s because they have a cool new website that I implemented using Mephisto. If you are not in the Vancouver area, it might be difficult to pop on over to check out the museum, but you can still check out the website. Eventually they hope to have some of their archives online, but for now they just have an awesome publishing system that is clean and easy to use.

I’m particularly proud of the typography on this site. You may not notice right away, but the second column lines up very nicely with the first column. This can be a bit tricky when you include various sizes of text like the different sizes of headers. I just had to make sure the headers restored the vertical rhythm to normal by using appropriate top and bottom margins. I also created a little image with horizontal lines spaced 15px apart. This gave me a kind of ‘lined paper’ to work with so that I could conceptualize what was going on.

So, even if you aren’t interested in Jewish history, check out the cool site: Jewish Museum
