A responsive multi-level menu that shows its submenus in their own context, allowing for a space-saving presentation and usage. View demo Download source Today we want to share an experimental drop-down menu with you. The main idea is to save space for menus that have a lot of content and sub-levels. Each sub-level in this menu will be shown in its own context, making the “parent” level disappear.

This is done with subtle animations that are defined in separate animation classes. Please note: this only works as intended in browsers that support the respective CSS properties. The structure of the menu contains an unordered list that can have an arbitrary number of sub-lists: Animations are defined in animation classes: And the plugin is called as following: We hope you like this little experiment and find it inspiring!

Grid-Based Web Design, Simplified. Advertisement A grid at its barest is nothing more than a series of intersecting horizontal and vertical lines spaced at regular intervals, but its innate propensity for creating order out of chaos makes it one of the most powerful tools at a designer’s disposal. If you want to reap their benefits of grids on your next project but are unsure of the specifics, this article is for you. Introduction Grids are everywhere in our society, and have been for centuries, as this city plan for Washington, DC drawn in 1792 by Charles L’Enfant demonstrates.

If you’re even vaguely acquainted with the fundamentals of graphic design, you’ve probably worked on some kind of a grid or at the very least seen examples of grid-based layouts. Grids are an established design tool, and a wealth of knowledge exists in the literature discussing the theory of grids and extolling their benefits. The status quo, as it were This iconic poster by Josef Müller–Brockmann epitomizes early grid-based print design.

A Basic Look at Typography in Web Design. Web design is so important to ensure a site has a good user experience and each aspect of it can have a huge impact on the usability of your site. One of these aspects, Typography is an often overlooked, but integral part of design and something your web design company shouldn’t be overlooking. Think of all the different uses of typography on the web, from large headlines and bold blocks of text to smaller-sized text in body copy, and you’ll soon realize that not only is it a crucial part of a web design, but that it’s a pure combination of art and science. We’ve come a long way since the start of the internet, but the use of typography is as important today as it was back in the day. Typography Basics Typography is the use of type in a design.

There are two major classifications of fonts to choose from: serif and sans serif fonts. Serif fonts have serifs or extra embellishments at the end of stokes; some call them feet or tails. Things to Consider for Typography on the Web Web Safe Fonts. CSS Typography: Techniques and Best Practices. In the first part of this series, we discussed some fundamental concepts pertaining to CSS typography. Now we are going to cover some excellent techniques, tips, tricks and best practices for dealing with typography on websites. This is the second part of a three-part series of guides on CSS typography that will cover everything from basic syntax to best practices and tools related to CSS typography. Better Web Typography with @font-face For normal text blocks, using smart font stacks (as discussed in the first part) is a good idea, but for headings and short text blocks, more interesting fonts can be used with the help of @font-face.

When implemented correctly, @font-face is compatible with a wide range of browsers — yes, even IE. Just include a copy of the font’s file on your web server and use the @font-face rule in your CSS code as follows: Then just use the font-family declared above with your CSS: While IE4+ does support @font-face, the font does need to be in the .eot file format. 5 CSS Effects Libraries for Supercharging Your Designs. CSS3 gives designers many new properties and modules (like the CSS Animations and CSS Transitions modules) that allow them to add fascinating interactivity onto their work.

If you want to take advantage of these modern CSS capabilities, one quick way to do that would be to use (or study) CSS effects libraries. Let me talk about a few open source collections of CSS that will help you craft great transitional interfaces. 1. Animate.css Animate.css is a collection of over 60 CSS effects by Daniel Eden, a designer at Dropbox. Daniel Eden’s work on Animate.css is an inspiration to some of the other CSS effects libraries below. 2.

In the field of design, the phrase "complexity is the enemy" speaks to how keeping things simple makes our work more functional. With the modern crop of technologies that dole out increasing amounts of functionality, it’s important that we take the time to ensure a balanced level between oversimplification to the level that insults our visitor’s sense of competency and extreme complexity which endangers their experience.

In this article, I want to talk about the idea of reductionism — a process that improves the efficacy of our designs as well as the time we spend making and maintaining them. Going "back to basics" and challenging the way we design, write code and produce content will de-clutter our interfaces, improve the readability of our web copy, speed up deployment, make things easier to use, and reduce our maintenance requirements. Reductionism in Web Design It’s important to define what reductionism is in the context of web design. Benefits for the User Experience Code Reductionism. Gestalt Principles Applied in Design. By Michael Tuck Web designers, like other artists and craftsmen, impose structure on the environment. We enforce order and beauty on the formless void that is our blank computer screen.

We do it in different ways — creating an organized layout first, writing text and content first, or even basing a design concept on an image, a color palette, or something that visually trips your trigger, whether it’s a sunset or a Song Dynasty painting. Wherever you gain your inspiration, it’s often not just the particular element that sparks your artistic impulse; it’s the totality of the element and its surroundings. Grasping that totality concept — both the individual element and the whole in which it exists are important both separately and together — is essential to understanding how gestaltism influences our design choices. We’ll cover 6 principles related to gestalt, in the context of design, and they are: ProximitySimilarityPrägnanz (Figure-Ground)Symmetry"Common Fate"Closure Source: Dr. Mr. Symmetry. Minimalist Web Design: How Minimal is Too Minimal? Minimalism, interestingly enough, is usually born out of excess.

In all arts, in all ways of life, we start out by taking and adding whatever we can. When we start to realize that more is not necessarily better, and that we can get by with less stuff, we try to simplify by removing unnecessary elements so we can focus on what’s truly important. What is Minimalism? Minimalism, in its purest form, is the reduction of something to its bare essentials. Think of a car. It only needs a few critical components — engine, wheels, gas, and so on — for it to run. As long as it has these parts, you can take out many non-essential elements such as its audio system, heated leather seats and cup holders, and the car will still get you to where you’re going.

In web design, minimalism translates to producing a site from the basics. Minimalism is an exercise in restraint, with the eventual goal being a design that helps the user focus and accomplish their tasks as quickly as possible. Why Use Minimalism? Using Power Structure and Gestalt for Visual Hierarchy. A core place to begin a website discovery process is to learn the goals and objectives of your client. It is imperative to understand what the website needs to do and which things are the most important. In order to do that, we need to establish a hierarchy. A hierarchy is essentially an order of items, goals, ideas, and/or needs.

Hierarchy in web design is centrally about influencing a user to understand and embrace the principal goals of a website and interact with the material in the ideal order to facilitate a smooth and pleasant experience with the website. Practical Hierarchy If you have ever learned a business theory, played a video game, ordered from a menu, or interacted with businesses, then hierarchies are already a huge part of your general knowledge. Hierarchies are the key to communicating value, importance, and order. The Power Structure To create a hierarchy for a website, most designers will start with a site map or flow document for a website. The Power Breakdown DeployCMS. 160over90 is a Branding Agency.

Take a look at some of the biggest sites out there today that are showcasing top-notch designs.

It’s very likely they’ve used a grid of some sort. Grids enable stability and structure in a web layout, giving the designer a logical template to build the site on. Grids don’t mean you have to have a boring design. A good designer will apply the fundamental rules of using grid-based layouts but also knows how to break these rules properly. "The grid system is an aid, not a guarantee.

It permits a number of possible uses and each designer can look for a solution appropriate to his personal style. . - Josef Müller-Brockmann Grid Basics Let’s talk some grid lingo. Grids are traditionally found in print work but are very applicable to web design. A grid is simply a tool to help designs, not something that should hurt the design in any way. Understand and Follow the Rules When you start learning a new skill in any given subject, you should follow its guidelines.

Create your own grid Break the Rules. The Elements of a Clean Web Design. Clean, simple web designs have become a popular trend. This article will cover the subject through a two-part discussion. First, we’ll talk about a few traits that clean designs tend to have in common. Secondly, I’ll share some tricks and techniques that can be helpful when trying to achieve a clean design.

Common Traits of a Clean Web Design Let’s start by looking at some fundamental characteristics of clean web designs. Solid Web Page Layout Structure If you take a few minutes to browse sites that might fall into the "clean" category, I’d be willing to bet they all have one thing in common: a well-thought-out grid that the designer is really putting to work.

For anyone not familiar with designing with a grid, just imagine that each comp starts with an invisible structure of columns and rows, and that structure drives the scale and placement of the elements in the composition.

PSCS5, Mac OS 10.6.4 I need to prepare a book cover created in InDesign for posting with online vendors (Angus & Roberton, Austraila and Amazon for starters).

My first attempt and prepping the InD file for the web was unsuccessful. No file specs are available from either vendor. Can you help? The InD file is 8"x8", contains 2 PS images, 2 AI vector files, and text. The PS files are set at 350 dpi (per the print sevice bureau's specs). The book is destined for 4-color wet press. My first approach when I tried prepping it for the web was to export the InD file to a JPEG, open it in PS, and save it as a .psd file before making any changes. What is the procedure I should have followed to prep the cover to an image for the web? Thanks in advance. Toni. Diseño gráfico freelance | juancarloscorral.com | Juan Carlos Corral. El Hackatón.
