Guil said " the text needs to be larger with more presence". What is the meaning of presence here? Is that related to style?

Hi there! Have you ever met a person and there's nothing exactly incredible about them at first look? They're not a supermodel or anything. But just about immediately, all eyes are on them and everyone is listening? We say that they have a certain "presence" about them.

He's talking about the styling here to indicate that we want it to stand out a bit more.

Take a look at the definition of presence and pay particular attention to section 1.3.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:

In this context its related to the idea of visible. When something is BIG, it has presence, you can notice it and see it, if something is small, you can barely notice it. (BIGGER, easy to see, noticeable = more presence \\ smaller, not important , less presence ).

Strictly speaking, smaller things can also have "presence". That being said, things with "presence" do tend to get noticed for whatever reason. Physical size is not always the determining factor, but likely is for this example.
