quote

In graphic design, a pull quote (also known as a lift-out pull quote) is a key phrase, quotation, or excerpt that has been pulled from an article and used as a page layout graphic element, serving to entice readers into the article or to highlight a key topic. It is typically placed in a larger or distinctive typeface and on the same page. Pull quotes are often used in magazine and newspaper articles, annual reports, and brochures, as well as on the web. They can add visual interest to text-heavy pages with few images or illustrations.Placement of a pull quote on a page may be defined in a publication's or website's style guide. Such a typographic device may or may not be aligned with a column on the page. Some designers, for example, choose not to align the quote. In that case, the quotation cuts into two or more columns, as in the example shown. Because the pull quote invites the reader to read about the highlighted material, the pull quote should appear before the text it cites and, generally, fairly close to it.Pull quotes need not be a verbatim copy of the text being quoted; depending on a publication's house style, pull quotes may be abbreviated for space or paraphrased for clarity, with or without indication.A disadvantage of pull quotes as a design element is that they can disrupt the reading process of readers invested in reading the text sequentially by drawing attention to ghost fragments out of context. At the other extreme, when pull quotes are used to break up what would otherwise be a formless wall of text, they can serve as visual landmarks to help the reader maintain a sense of sequence and place.

    OTT quote

    I've been quoted £300 for a gas engineer to replace an old single panel rad with a double banked rad. The dimensions of the old rad are: 600m high x 1280mm wide. So we're looking at installing a double banked rad 600x1200mm plus pipwork. Seems a tad steep. Any thoughts?

    New Viessmann boiler quote - opinions?

    Just had a quote for a new boiler in my rented flat (I'm living overseas at the moment). The only reason the boiler needs replaced is that the flue is not in the correct place and I can't get a gas safe certificate. Current boiler (Worcester Junior 28i) is 12-15 years old so probably more cost...
