Whats the maximum pixel width for no scroll?

I think it's 600.
But you can do a screengrab and measure.

tried that and it was 885 but i still got a scroll?

I just did a screengrab and measured: 590.

too small to read?

Loving it! It's my favourite scene from that movie.

I tried my hand at it:

BTW, what's "Romalian type"?

hhp

cute billboard.

The name, Romalian Type appears to have been made up for the movie.

:o) and personally, I'd rather scroll than squint.

Love it.

My geek nature forces me to say:
It's not actually perfect. It'd be perfect if it fit into the Golden Ratio (a.k.a. Divine Ratio) of 1 × 1.618034.
I'm salivating.

Also: The perfect billboard should contain no more than seven words.

I doubt the people who own the windows right behind the billboard call it perfect. I do suspect they have several choice words for it, however.

My inner geek can't help but point out a screen grab isn't needed to measure web spaces. All you need is Firefox and the cool little free utility called MeasureIt. Then, it's just a matter of clicking and dragging right in the browser window.

This is a geek-friendly thread, yes? :)

@ Joseph: It's possible to put all that sig info in your profile. Long sigs make for long scrolls.

:-) I'll gladly join in the geekdom by recommending XScope, a great screen measuring tool (and one of my favorite apps for years now). Mac only tho.

The only problem is that it's impossible to read while driving/jogging/walking/cycling, because its the text is too small and has too many words.

You have to stare at it and sweat with envy.

(Then you might have to kill its owner.)

> It’s not actually perfect. It’d be perfect if it fit into the Golden Ratio

I read a research study that claimed that fewer people actually liked Golden Ratio proportions compared to something like 3:2. For a simple rectangle that is.

As a joke this is funny. As a billboard it is useless.

@ apankrat: Can you provide us with a reference to this study? And 2:3 is almost golden as it's part of the Fibonacci series of integers. For more information on golden section, check out:

Huntley, H. E. (1970). The divine proportion: a study in mathematical beauty. Dover Publications Incorporated. Ontario, Canada.

Really hardcore stuff.

Christopher, my bad, I had a brain spasm. It was a research done by Gustav Fletcher back in late 19th century. 5:8 came out on top with 35% votes, followed by 2:3 with 20%.

That's amazing, so clever!

"My God, It even has a watermark..."

Good stuff.
