Web design is a flexible, consistently evolving medium. There are a variety of different ways to accomplish the same goal; there are always new techniques and best practices on the horizon; web design projects can range from the tiny (one-page websites) to the huge (multi-page CMS-powered websites). Any web design freelancer or web design firm knows the range of features, and their corresponding costs, that can be built into their projects – dynamic content, jQuery effects, advanced layouts, etc – and the question of what should be a standard vs. what should be a feature is constantly evolving too.
With all that in mind, the newest web design technique on the block is responsive web design. If you’re not clear on what responsive web design means, read this article. Go ahead, I’ll wait.
Found Friday Vol 76 is upon us, and this week we have: a dead simple article on responsive design; a gorgeous letterpress poster for sale based on a Steve Jobs quote; a great tutorial on numbering ordered lists; a must-read article on judging business practices; and a solid tool for validating your site markup (as opposed to page-by-page validation).
Responsive design – website design that adapts to the device window – is all the rage these days. Like Skrillex (or so I hear, I don’t know). Anyway, it can be a little intimidating, but this article is very simple & straightforward. It’s a great way to get your feet wet with responsive (albeit not fluid) design.
There’s been a few different designs based on quotes floating around since Steve Jobs passed – here’s another, printed and designed beautifully. This letterpress poster is available printed with or without a frame.
If you’re reading this and aren’t using an RSS Feed or other content-repurposing service, you’re looking at V3 of the Paper Leaf Design website. It has been a long time coming – we fell victim to the ol’ shoemaker’s shoes saying – but now we’re live and we’re happy campers. Items to note that may be of interest to you:
Ahoy hoy, and welcome to Found Friday Vol 75. This week we have some great finds: a gift guide for tech heads/designers, a great look behind the scenes at Atlassian’s rebrand, an interesting article on BrandStack, a free online course for learning jQuery, and an easy way for you Instagram-loving hipsters to print your photos directly to canvas.
I love gift guides that are focused on interesting & well-designed goods. That’s what this one is – check it out!
Atlassian, a software company focusing on issue tracking and similar products, underwent a great redesign. Read all about the process in this article. Fascinating stuff for brand nerds like myself.
