In this Photoshop tutorial we’re going to create a chocolate-looking website layout. As we go through the different steps, we’ll deal with many techniques, some big typography, wood texturing, and so on. I hope you like this tutorial!
Before we get started let’s have a look at what we’ll be creating.
In the first part of In Depth CSS we talked about margins, padding and the box model. Our second post was on the difference between floats and positions and our third post was all about text.
In the fourth, and last, part of our In Depth CSS series, we’ll talk about several new CSS3 features – from fancy styling to mobile Webkit development.
*Note: You’ll need to be using a webkit browser (Safari or Chrome) to see all of these examples or Firefox to see most of them.
Designing a website that’s as much successful as it is effective takes time, skills, and a lot of testing. Normally, when we’re talking about web design and we hear the word testing, the first thing that comes to mind is usability, and that’s fine, but when was the last time you sat down to analyze the level of accessibility of your website?
Testing on other aspects of your website are important, however, a lot of us seem to neglect our websites accessibility. This can ultimately lead to the loss of a wide range of users and poor elements of design.
But not to fear, below we’ve compiled a set of tools that will help you combat poor accessibility. Every tool is free to use and has been chosen because it’s easy to use and offers quality testing.
Spending time with your head buried in technology can cause you to block out the real world.
Things that once inspired us seem faded and unnoticeable. I can’t remember one thing that caught my attention this morning on my way to work. My daily commute has become so routine, so blurry. Maybe it’s because I don’t feel the need to seek inspiration anymore away from my laptop.
As a kid I loved walking around the city, experiencing new things such as architecture, or just spending time people watching, visiting art galleries, and taking day trips to the beach or the mountains with my friends and family. I don’t do those things much anymore.
The older we get the busier our lives become, and things like work, paying bills and mowing the lawn take priority. Who has the time to stop by the park for an hour and just sit on a bench?
You read it right. We’ve partnered with the cool folks at Eleven2 to give away a ton of hosting accounts to readers of SpyreStudios.
