PocketGrid Documentation Table of Contents Quick start Here is the minimal markup you need to put in your pages: As you can see, you just have to include the pocketgrid.css (or pocketgrid.min.css) file in the <head> tag of your page and don't forget to set the viewport meta tag to manage media queries correctly on mobile. That's all you need to work with PocketGrid! Basic rules Instead of creating grids with rows and columns, PocketGrid introduces a more flexible concept with blocks and block groups. The basic rules with PocketGrid are: Blocks have a default width of 100% Blocks must be contained in a block-group To display blocks side by side (like columns), just give them a width in percentage (for example 30% and 70% to make 2 columns) Automatic rows: blocks automatically go to a new row if the current row is full, like words in a text! Creating rows and columns: the classical way... Like most CSS grid systems, PocketGrid can create rows (using <div class="block-group">) and columns (using <div class="block">).

Ruby on Rails Guides Responsive Web Design Tools, Techniques, Templates and Frameworks The need for excessive on the go mobile browsing, and an excessive amount of devices now allow for a responsive web design corresponding with the website. Web designers and web developers today have to design websites that are functional across multiple screen resolutions. That means websites should be available for browsing on smartphones, tablets, netbooks, or standard monitors, without losing their screen resolution, according to the user’s screen size. Multiple viewing mediums have certainly made the job a tad more difficult for the modern web designer. A responsive web design will ideally allow the website to be viewed and respond according to the medium that is being used to view it, so for example if a user is browsing the website on a 320px smartphone, or 768px or 1024px tablet, or a 1680px netbook or monitor, it will respond and look the same way. So, how do you go about designing a responsive web design? Simon Collison Andersson-Wise Architects Food Sense Naomi Atkinson Splendid
You Might Not Need jQuery A guide to understanding and creating grid systems There is an underlying principle to designing layouts effectively and that is the humble grid. Grids are everywhere and you’ve most likely not noticed them or paid much attention to them, that’s because a grid isn’t there to be the star of the show. The grid is there to guide you in creating the star. One of the simplest grids that you most likely use everyday is a simple piece of lined paper. It’s tough to write neatly on a blank piece of paper, the lines guide you to write better and thusly create a better document. As with all systems in design, a grid should focus on problem solving first and aesthetics second. Grids are not one size fits all, your grid should be based on the problem it’s there to solve, which is fundamentally organising content. Technical Constraints and Guidelines. The web is more of a wildcard on grid rules but considerations such as how the grid works responsively need to be addressed.

blending-modes-in-css-color-theory-and-practical-application--cms-25201?ref=webdesignernews You might be familiar with “blending modes” if you’re a Photoshop user; they allow you to combine layers in different ways and they’re great fun to play with. Blending modes in CSS, however, aren’t supported universally, but they are certainly on their way. In this tutorial, we will learn how blending modes work and the different ways you can implement blending modes using CSS. If you’ve never encountered blending modes, the way they work may seem a bit elusive. Blending modes have been available in design software for years, but the concept of blending modes has actually been in use for much longer, even before computers were invented. The “blending” part of blending modes refers to taking two colors and combining them in some way to make one color. How that blending takes place is the “mode” part of blending modes. Cm = B(Cb, Cs) Here, Cm is the resultant color after blending. All colors are based on a 0-1 scale, which maps directly to an rgb 0-255 value. That gives us:
