Flat Design and Skeuomorphism

.Flat design existed long before it became a buzz word. It’s just finally been packaged. When talking about “flat design” we’re talking about design that is simplified and leaning more toward minimal in aesthetic. Besides being a mouthful, skeuomorphism is defined as “a physical ornament or design on an object made to resemble another material or technique.” You could call it an imitation, or a representation. For comparison the iPhone 5 versus Nokia Lumia – Skeuomorphic vs. “Flat Design” respectively Most noticed in Apple’s popular skeuomorphic treatments such as the calendar, video, camera, passbook and newsstand icons. The shiny, glossy nature is one aspect – but the literal representation of an object is a recurring theme throughout the interface and the applications themselves

The post Weekly News roundup – 1 March 2013 appeared first on Design Reviver - Web Design Blog.

Let’s be honest even though we all strive to be the best at everything most of us still make common mistakes that we honestly believe is the correct way to write them out. You are not the person to blame as we generally learn from online tutorials and from sample files that we may download to play around with.

The problem with this is what we are actually learning may not be proper, but rather what the tutorial author or author of the sample think is right, and results in a negative domino effect. Additionally, the same may apply to purchasing books and learning from them, as it all depends on the author and how they learned as well.

Getting to the main focus of this post, we are not perfect, and we all make mistakes when we develop whether knowingly or not. In order to help clear up on some common mistakes made in CSS, we cover six CSS mistakes web designers and developers tend to make.

CSS Shorthand Properties, Who Needs Them?

For those of you who do not know, CSS shorthand properties make a huge difference to the readability, efficiency, and performance of your style sheet in large scale. Instead of having let us say, four margin properties: top, right, bottom, left, you can have one containing all four of these properties in a single short and readable line. Having hundreds of lines in one style sheet, you will be glad you did use the shorthand properties instead.

For those who do not use the shorthand properties, it may be the cause of learning each property separately for understandings sake, however, it is inefficient especially for having to skim through a huge style sheet to locate certain CSS properties making you spend more time searching rather than coding or editing. Therefore, you should start to adapt to shorthand properties when possible as you will see the benefit of using them instead in the long run.

To show an example of shorthand versus non-shorthand properties, let us have look at these margin properties:

margin-top: 2px;
margin-right: 4px;
margin-bottom: 6px;
margin-left: 8px;

Those are the non-shorthand properties; now compare them to the shorthand properties:

margin: 2px, 4px, 6px, 8px;

As you can see in the shorthand property above, it is far more efficient and readable when you search through hundreds of lines of code to find certain CSS classes and ID’s and their elements within.

Forget Hexadecimal, Color Names are Good Enough

No, not quite. For the color property in CSS, we all generally know that it can take names instead of hexadecimal such as blue or red. However, what you do not realize is blue or red in one browser is different from the blue or red in another.

What it is actually doing is telling the browser to interpret blue or red to what it thinks blue or red are, which can result to a lot of frustration when you realize that the blue in one browser is not the same blue you liked in another. Instead, to assure the color you choose is the same across all browsers, take the time to find the hexadecimal code for it, many programs such as Photoshop can provide that for you, so there is not excuse not to.

If I Fall, Will You Catch Me?

You are on a tightrope and you forget to ask a friend to catch you if you fall, but on that very occasion or practice run, you did not, but what if you did?

Thinking about the above statement leads me to the next common mistake made that I once made before, not providing fallback fonts. You have a favorite font installed on your computer that you just absolutely love to use as the default font in your website designs, however, not everyone has that exact same font and without fallback fonts or font stacks, the font face will default to the browser’s default font.

The problem with defaulting to something else is that some fonts do not look too great on certain designs, therefore, to maximize control over how your website looks, use fallback fonts or font stacks so that if your favorite font is not installed on a computer, it will go to the next font in your provided stack and so on and so forth.

Multiple Selectors for the Same Results

It happens to all of us, we are creating multiple selectors to find out that we end up with similar properties, but we take up twice as much space than needed. When you find yourself with multiple selectors with similar properties, it is more efficient and effective to just combine the two together by separating the selectors with commas as shown below:

.a, .b { … }

ID and Class Use

One of the most common mistakes made is the understanding of when to use IDs and when to use classes. Many of us confuse the two and use classes where IDs should be used instead. Generally, no problem will arise from the use of either; however, improper usage will always be a scar on your portfolio. IDs are used for a single entity while classes are used for many.

For example, your driver’s license is an ID to identify you, but not a license to identify others while a class might be a law that governs these licenses or IDs. Look at JavaScript as another good example for how IDs and classes are used. When you need to manipulate information from a certain element, you identify this element using its ID to distinguish it from others. However, a class is used to govern a set of elements and therefore is not ideal for such JavaScript action.

Doctype

The doctype in HTML5′s world is as easy as remembering the term, but many seem to ignore the fact that declaring the doctype is important and go on without it. When you make an error in your HTML or CSS such as forgetting to close or open a tag, the browser in which is viewing the website will attempt to use its own accommodations to fix it, which makes the results completely different from browser-to-browser.

Instead, by providing the doctype, you put the browser into a standards mode keeping your errors as errors, rather than attempt to fix them, which helps point them out to you to keep your website fluent across many different browsers and platforms.

Top tips for designing a business website

How important are design trends when it comes to websites?There are two sides to web design: functionality and impact.With functionality, it’s key that people know how to use your site.

With these sorts of things it’s important to adhere to what people are used to seeing.

The post Weekly News Roundup – 22 February 2013 appeared first on Design Reviver - Web Design Blog.

Throughout the past two years web designers have become more and more aware of the importance of responsive web design, in other words making their sites viewable on different devices, as well as at different resolutions, in other words whether you are on an iPad Mini or a MacBook Pro with Retina Display the site must work just as well. Last week was the first release of the public preview for Adobe’s latest Edge tool, Edge Reflow.

For those unfamiliar with the newest addition to the Adobe family, Edge Reflow is a tool specifically built around helping designers create responsive designs.

In our post about Web Design trends you can’t ignore in 2013, responsive design was the number ONE design trend you really can’t ignore.

That was the whole purpose behind Adobe creating Edge Reflow, through the layout of the program, designers are able to create a mockup for various layouts, whether they want to optimize their design for mobile devices or desktop computers the possibilities are endless.

You need to understand however that Edge Reflow isn’t supposed to be the end-to-end design solution. It is important to know that the program will not work as a one step solution, instead it is for those who wish to see  what the design will look like at various sizes and on different devices.

Features of Edge Reflow:

• Flexible design approach

• Edge Web Font integration

• Visual media-query breakpoints

• Multiple background layers

• Multiple drop shadows

• Border styles and customization

• Fluid customizable grid system

• Previewing your design

What makes Edge Reflow great is that users can preview what their design will look like in a browser, furthermore the CSS is extractable for future developments, you can then copy that code into Dreamweaver and continue working on it from there.

As Adobe product manager, Jacob Surber, says the aim behind Reflow is:

“to help designers design within the constraints of the web to communicate their intent, but not to tell developers how to build the site.” He then adds that that what Reflow generates “is not production code.” Reflow is a design tool, and it bridges the gap between raster image editors like Photoshop and bare code. It lets you design your site on a flexible grid, utilizing break points with CSS media queries.

If you want to try Edge Reflow you need to be a Creative Cloud subscriber. While the Dreamweaver update does require a paid Creative Cloud subscription you can try Edge Reflow, Animate and Code for free.
