Where are the Mobile First Responsive Web Designs? By Jason Grigsby Originally published: Sep 11, 2012 This article was originally published June 7, 2011 on Cloud Four’s web site. For those unfamiliar with the phrase, Mobile First RWD takes the concepts that Ethan Marcotte taught in his A List Apart article on Responsive Web Design and flips the process around to address some of the concerns I raised about media queries. Instead of starting with a desktop site, you start with the mobile site and then progressively enhance to devices with larger screens. In practical terms, I think a Mobile First RWD approach requires addressing some of the following challenges: This list was just a starting point for exploration. So I set out in early April to find examples of Mobile First RWD by reviewing every site listed in the Mediaqueri.es gallery which at the time was just over a hundred sites. How do you know if something was designed mobile first? Mobile first design is primarily about the starting point. The Results Weren’t Promising About the Author
6 rules for packaging design that dive off the shelf - According to FMI (Food Marketing Institute), the average supermarket in the USA holds around 40,000 different items. This nearly $600 billion industry relies heavily on consumers, distributors, manufacturers and… graphic designers. Product packaging, as a graphic design discipline, is an industry itself. Multinational design agencies like Landor, CBA’a and Coley Porter Bell employ hundreds of designers who focus almost entirely on creating strong brands through packaging design and branding. Here at 99designs, product packaging is a growing category waiting for great designers to enter and build their portfolio. 1. Next time you go to a supermarket, pick a random shelf and browse through some products. What’s this product for? A great example of simple, clear yet highly distinctive packaging design. You’ll find products listing dozen of benefits with no clear brand name. This is a BAD example! So remember rule number one: be clear about the product, be clear about the brand. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
Box · Intro to CSS 3D transforms Cube objects are easy enough to generate as we only have to worry about one measurement. But how would we handle a non-regular rectangular prism? Or, as the kids say, a box. The markup remains the same. <div class="scene"><div class="box"><div class="box__face box__face--front">front</div><div class="box__face box__face--back">back</div><div class="box__face box__face--right">right</div><div class="box__face box__face--left">left</div><div class="box__face box__face--top">top</div><div class="box__face box__face--bottom">bottom</div></div></div> The CSS the same as the cube’s, with size values changed: width: 300px, height: 200px and translateZ(-50px) on the .box as its 100px deep. front back right left top bottom With position: absolute applied to the faces, they all collapse to the top left corner of .box. In order to translate out the faces from the center of the box in 3D, we need to center the faces. Edit this demo on CodePen Next: Carousel →
Responsive Web Design The English architect Christopher Wren once quipped that his chosen field “aims for Eternity,” and there’s something appealing about that formula: Unlike the web, which often feels like aiming for next week, architecture is a discipline very much defined by its permanence. Article Continues Below A building’s foundation defines its footprint, which defines its frame, which shapes the facade. Each phase of the architectural process is more immutable, more unchanging than the last. Creative decisions quite literally shape a physical space, defining the way in which people move through its confines for decades or even centuries. Working on the web, however, is a wholly different matter. But the landscape is shifting, perhaps more quickly than we might like. In recent years, I’ve been meeting with more companies that request “an iPhone website” as part of their project. A flexible foundation#section1 Let’s consider an example design.

Responsive Web Design : un nouvel outil pour les développeurs dans Firefox « Responsive Web Design », trois mots que certains développeurs craignent de voir apparaître dans leurs cahiers des charges, mais qui initient une nouvelle façon de penser le design des sites, afin de les adapter automatiquement à tous les écrans possibles. Il n'existe ainsi plus des versions différentes en fonction du périphérique utilisé, mais une gestion globale que Firefox semble bien décidé à vous aider à mettre en oeuvre. En effet, la semaine dernière Firefox 15 faisait son entrée dans le canal Aurora (pre-Beta) qui est l'occasion pour Mozilla de mettre en place de nouveaux outils dédiés aux développeurs, ce qui devrait largement plaire à ces derniers. Parmi eux, on retrouve une fonctionnalité permettant de limiter la zone d'affichage d'un site à une définition précise, la liste fournie reprenant celles qui sont le plus souvent rencontrées sur les smartphones et tablettes. Un nouvel outil de Debug du code Javascript est aussi désormais intégré (CTRL + MAJ + S / CMD + OPT + S).

Transit - CSS transitions and transformations for jQuery What about older browsers? Transit degrades older browsers by simply not doing the transformations (rotate, scale, etc) while still doing standard CSS (opacity, marginLeft, etc) without any animation. Delays and durations will be ignored. // Delegate .transition() calls to .animate()// if the browser can't do CSS transitions.if (!$.support.transition) $.fn.transition = $.fn.animate; Fallback to frame-based animation If you would like to fallback to classic animation when transitions aren't supported, just manually redefine .transitition to .animate. (Note: if you're using custom easing, you may need to also use jQuery Easing, and restrict your use of easing options to the ones defined there.) $.fx.speeds.

Designing for a Responsive Web The web as we know it is changing. In the past, designers and developers only had to concern themselves with one medium: the computer screen. In recent years, however, a plethora of fully internet-enabled devices with scores of different shapes and capabilities have cropped up, meaning that we now have to design our websites to fit comfortably in as many screen sizes, shapes, and resolutions as you can possibly think of. Our old fixed-width layout approach is out of the question now. What is Responsive Web Design? The idea of Responsive Web Design, a term coined by Ethan Marcotte, is that our websites should adapt their layout and design to fit any device that chooses to display it. In his book, the aptly titled "Responsive Web Design" he outlines the three parts to a responsive website: A fluid gridFluid imagesMedia queries However, it is important for you, as a designer, to understand the basic concepts of RWD so as to better design websites that will become responsive when coded.
