Ceaser is a tool which allows you to have more control over CSS transitions, feature recently introduced in CSS3.
Now that we can use CSS transitions in all the modern browsers, let’s make them pretty. I love the classic Penner equations with Flash and jQuery, so I included most of those. If you’re anything like me*, you probably thought this about the default easing options: “ease-in, ease-out…yawn.” The mysterious cubic-bezier has a lot of potential, but was cumbersome to use. Until now. Also, touch-device friendly!
Ceaser was developed by Matthew Lein – visit his official site here.
If you ever dreamed of seeing a TV show dedicated to web design – your prayers has been answered…
Doctype TV is an online show dedicated to all aspects of web design. It was started in 2009 by Nick Petitt and Jim Hoskins and features 50 episodes so far.
As its creators put it:
Doctype is the show for people who make websites. Whether you’re a designer that wants to learn some coding or a developer that thinks everything they make looks like crap, Doctype is the show for you!
Every episode, Nick and Jim break down the latest topics and trends in web design and web development, from CSS3 and iconography to jQuery and web security. Created byDone21, the show was started to help web designers, web developers, freelancers, engineers, and creative professionals improve their skills and stay on top of their game.
New episodes of Doctype are released every Tuesday and can be watched right here on Doctype.TV or on iTunes.
Interesting article on connection between postmodernism and (web) design – from Samantha Warren’s blog Badass Ideas.
DO YOU EVER BROWSE THE WEB AND FIND A HIDEOUS website featured in a web design gallery? I regularly ponder society’s perception of “Good Design” and what people consider beautiful, and it brings me back to my studies from college. If only I knew at the time that philosophy and postmodern minimalism would come back to haunt me as a designer.
While I didn’t learn a lot about the web in college there were two classes that made a huge impact on shaping my critical design thinking skills. Every day I find an application for the concepts I learned from a Seminar in Aesthetics and Modern Art History class. Both classes took place outside of a computer lab and far from any easel; they were experiences that taught me how to truly understand art, beauty, philosophy, and perception. I learned that design can be a state of mind, multi-dimensional and contextual.
