| Dec 18, 2019 at 19:58 | comment | added | curious♦ | @Luciano That's on me (not on OP). The problem I saw with the original title was specifically the "Can you teach...". It seems to me like it's more of a workflow problem. I'm still not 100% satisfied with the title, feel free to edit it again! | |

| Dec 18, 2019 at 15:53 | comment | added | Luciano | With the last edit you essentially made my answer useless, this is now an almost completely different question (teaching consistency to your intern vs keeping consistency in web design). It would've been better to make a different post. | |

OP has basically answered their own question - to ensure consistency, one must remain consistent. Utilising the right tools will help a lot. Stick to common practises such as css for styling and includes for repeating elements such as the news box. Teach the intern how to use these tools correctly.

| Dec 17, 2019 at 21:00 | comment | added | Jarrod Christman | @Scott, I agree and agreed with your original statement. Just wanted to push your point even further/further emphasize it. I originally hadn't considered that they may still be doing image design build outs. | |
| Dec 17, 2019 at 20:58 | comment | added | Scott | @JarrodChristman Hence my reference to a possible X/Y problem -- Image buildouts are a 1990s workflow. | |
| Dec 17, 2019 at 20:54 | comment | added | Jarrod Christman | @Scott, admittedly I made the assumption this is a HTML/CSS build out. If not, I would recommend doing that, an HTML/CSS build out is even useful when it comes to mockups as it is more easily redefinable in case of specification changes (just change the global CSS). Graphics applications should be phased out after the wireframe stage, in my opinion. | |

Title more precise

| Dec 17, 2019 at 19:43 | comment | added | Scott | Ultimately, it sounds as if there's a misunderstanding of how to use CSS. (all assuming this is live HTML/CSS construction and not some full page Photoshop image - which may be a different matter entirely and more of an X/Y problem). | |
| Dec 17, 2019 at 19:42 | comment | added | Scott | Is CSS being written inline or as an external style sheet? Is he/she redefining CSS elements continually in the style sheet? The consistency issues you point out should not be present with an established Style Sheet unless that style sheet is continually being added to, which is wrong. H2 should be H2, consistently, once it is defined once in a style sheet. And things like font usage should only be declared once for each font then size possibly per element. So mismatched faces shouldn't happen. It is difficult to be definitive with an answer without seeing actual construction markup. | |

| Dec 17, 2019 at 18:07 | comment | added | curious♦ | How much graphic design training has the intern gone through so far? Typically internships are taken nearing the end of formal training. I would expect a student to be able to design consistently to some extent (not perfect but definitely not all over the place) | |
