Can I get a RWD? : Jan 11 2012

Web Design : 2 comments

Bo selecta!

"Responsive Web Design". It's been around as a real thing for a couple of years or so now, and this year it's a hot topic of conversation in the web development community like never before. Everyone is going on about it. Everyone is doing it. It's sexy. If it was sex, it'd be sex in different positions, with the positions dependent on if you're in a stationery cupboard or not. Or something.

It's something I've been using for a while, and I've now gone and RWD'd this very here site.

I shall explain more about it all, and what it is I have done. Read. Your brain is hungry for my words. It told me.


Patternicity, False Positives and Potatoes : Aug 01 2011

Graphic Design, Web Design : no comments

Patternicity

A post about how content from one of my favourite talks from Ted.com can be applied to how we approach and analyse design. Right at the end I mention potatoes.


iPhone and iPad only CSS : May 22 2011

Web Design : no comments

I want that one

A quick overview of a method using Media Queries to deliver CSS to both iPhone and iPad only. It's also worth noting that the same method can be used, with a simple adaptation, to deliver CSS to everything except iPhone and iPad devices.


CSS3 & IE workarounds : The Coalition of a Hung Internet : Dec 10 2010

Web Design : 5 comments

We are all excited about embracing and using both CSS3 and HTML5 in our day to day practice, but I'm finding that IE workarounds continue to be essential in order to get sign-off on client projects.

It is often the case that without them, sites wouldn't go live, and - therefore - all that CSS3 and HTML5 goodness doesn't get air time either. Bum right?

This is where I believe we are still very much in the midst of a "Hung Internet", and CSS3 and IE workarounds are a coalition. I thought that up all by myself you know.

I can tell your minds are hungry. Let my words nourish you. Actually that sounds a bit weird. Read this article in full. If you want to. Up to you. No pressure.


All Down My Chin : Oct 02 2010

Web Design, Illustration : 4 comments

Mmm ... 400x300 screen-shots

Dribbble! That's correct. 3 "b"s.

If you're a web based designer, you'll no doubt have heard of Dribbble. And if you are pretty good at what you do, you'll probably have been drafted in and, therefore, have an account.

I'm possibly a little late to the party in terms of blogging about Dribbble, but I was lucky enough to be drafted in pretty early, when the site was a closed garden to invited members only. I've also not blogged about until now because I really wanted to give it some air miles. And I'm also a bit of a lazy blogger :) Anyway, here is my account: http://dribbble.com/players/kevadamson. Have a look around yo.

In this post I discuss what it's about, what I think of it, my response to its criticsim, and also some possible extras I think that may be useful. Read. Or there'll be no pudding.

Just watched the film "Priest" after a mighty Chinese with friends. Was surprisingly good. Think Blade Runner meets vampire flick. Ish.
