Introducing Arrrows: The Fully Scalable Icon Font for All of Your Design Needs

In web design especially, arrows have played an important role in guiding the user experience of our audiences, whether it’s through a call-to-action button, a navigational element, or even a link to an upcoming slide. We use them constantly at DT – and to such a degree that we thought it’d be great to create a way of making this versatile symbol much more accessible to our daily workflows. Therefore, we’re very excited to announce Arrrows, a fully scalable icon font for all of your design needs. With the current direction of the web and the growing use of CSS styles and web fonts, we realized that having a font library of different style arrows would not only save time in our workflows but also be a valuable tool in executing our designs on the web.

Here are some of the things we love the most about Arrrows: You need a web designer. - blog - edgeofmyseat.com. As a company edgeofmyseat.com has been in existence for almost 10 years.

You need a web designer. - blog - edgeofmyseat.com

I started the company in September 2001. I’d recently redesigned my personal site to use some fairly shaky CSS for layout but most people were still using tables, IE6 had only just been released and the browser we all hated was Netscape 4. As a developer I started taking on development jobs for design agencies who didn’t have web designers. The typical clients were traditional agencies, print designers, who just wanted to hand me a picture of a website in Photoshop and I would send them back a site. This worked. It is now 2011 and sending us a picture of a website does not work any more.

We can’t educate someone, during the course of a job, into modern web design techniques. If you are designing websites, you need a web designer and they need to love the web, love designing for it, and really care about making the web experience awesome. Colour: User Experience (UX) And Psychology. Colour plays a crucial role in User Experience. It transmits a psychological message to your users and choosing the right colours for your brand, logo or product can be vital as it helps your brand or product get easily recognised and identified with your industry. Coca-Cola is red whilst AT&T is blue and this is not just a coincidence.

The correct use of colour is vital to creating a positive image among your users. Furthermore, colour plays a huge role in recognition. It triggers all the senses, instantly delivering a message like no other communication method. Blue Blue is the colour of the heavens and oceans and brings to mind peace and serenity. Blue brings to mind the skies and the seas. Red Red actually triggers the pituitary gland and speeds up the heart rate, hence causing the person seeing it to breathe more rapidly. Green Green is a colour which is generally linked to nature, peace, well-being and freshness. Yellow Purple Pink Orange Brown Black.
