by
Michael
Posted August 9th, 2012 at 12:13 am
What exactly is responsive web design?
Responsive Website Design is nothing new, back in the day tablet based designers either chose the fluid or static route. Today’s responsive websites take a comparable approach by using fluid widths in percentages and ems. They do not stop, but take a step further by using scalable images and adjustable layouts. All of which is based on what kind or screen-size you are using while browsing the desired website. There are three very important elements in...

by
Michael
Posted July 31st, 2012 at 5:31 am
I found this interesting article about screencast on HTML5. HTML 5 provides some great new features for web designers who want to code readable, semantically-meaningful layouts. However, support for HTML 5 is still evolving, and Internet Explorer is the last to add support. In this tutorial, we’ll create a common layout using some of HTML 5’s new semantic elements, then use JavaScript and CSS to make our design backwards-compatible with Internet Explorer. Yes, even IE 6.

by
Michael
Posted July 18th, 2012 at 5:11 am
Turquoise helps to open the lines of communication between the heart and the spoken word. It presents as a friendly and happy color enjoying life.
In color psychology, the color turquoise controls and heals the emotions creating emotional balance and stability. In the process it can appear to be on an emotional roller coaster, up and down, until it balances itself. A combination of blue and a small amount of yellow, turquoise fits in on the color scale between green and blue. It radiates the...

Embedding Fonts for CSS
by
Michael
Posted August 2nd, 2011 at 5:02 am
Want to get away from ‘Web Safe’ fonts for some attractive headers AND do it without using an image? Use CSS 3 and embed a font-face! @font-face is not strictly speaking ‘CSS3′; it was originally born in CSS 2 and although not appearing in CSS 2.1, CSS 3 is attempting to bring it into the standards.
In order to use a font, we first must call it using the ‘@font-face’ attribute and this must be done for each individual font we wish to use. Although I’m sure you have a few,...

Black is the absence of color. This color is conservative, goes well with almost any color except the very dark. It also has conflicting connotations. It can be serious and conventional. The color black can also be mysterious, sexy, and sophisticated. Some cultures relate black to death, while others relate black to life. Black is associated with power, elegance, formality, death, evil, and mystery.
