Making "Med" Rentries
- Graphic
This varies a lot more than simple or inner bg because this is a much wider category, Any type of graphic works here so i just rec looking at making graphics. Otherwise, I would definetly recommend getting dividers (like ones on image 3 & 4.) But pretty much all the advice I'd like to give is in the "making graphics" page. With med rentries, complex graphics are the way to go. (But as shown in image 1 & 2 , that's not the only component and there are other ways to make a med rentry!)
- Metadata
Most med rentries have an image background (CONTAINER_OUTER_BACKGROUND_IMAGE = ) thats colorful or at least color matches the graphic and text, here patterns on plain / empty bgs are less common in comparison to full covering bgs. They usually have avg to wide containers so anywhere from 400-300 px (CONTAINER_MAX_WIDTH =). Leaving rentries borderless is uncommon w this type, image border & simpler borders both work. Though I think image ones are a bit more common. Which I have tuts on Here and Here.
- Text
Text decor is usually longer here (w the exception of left and right oriented images) and more complex . sometimes divided in two like img 4. I do have a text guide. But in general, for med rentries color coding & a mix of ext spaces w symbols / pixels / kaomojs is fine. Also using lines of different fonts works too (like img 4's "himefujo & "wlw" text). a good add-on is metadata text settings
- Tips
Color match!! This doesnt necessarily mean "make everything the same color, but have colors compliment eachother and include shades of the same color. As well as dont have bright green and pastel in the same rentry. Otherwise, mess around with spacing & center your text!
