Return to Sender In "A Book Apart" BBEdit Revised, Reviewed. In "CSS" HTML5 For Web Designers In "Announcements" HTML Cheatsheet &124; Webmonkey&&124; Wired.com. HTML / CSS. An InDesign for HTML and CSS? – Jeffrey Zeldman Presents The Dai. In “CSS is the new Photoshop” (?) , Adobe’s John Nack correctly observes, as have many of us, that “Cascading Style Sheets can create a great deal of artwork now, without reliance on bitmap graphics.”
Nack quotes Shawn Blanc, one of several concurrent authors of the phrase “CSS is the new Photoshop,” who cites as evidence Louis Harboe’s iOS icons and Jeff Batterton’s iPhone, both designed entirely in CSS and both only viewable in the latest Webkit browsers, Safari 5 and Google Chrome 5. He’s not alone: Håkon Wium Lie from Opera predicts that CSS3 could eliminate half the images used on the Web. You can use various graphical tools to generate things like CSS gradients and rounded corners. As people can do more and more in code, it makes sense to ask whether even to use Photoshop in designing Web content.I think Adobe should be freaking out a bit, but in a constructive way. So far, so good. Nack acknowledges that this will be difficult. HTML is a language with roots in library science.
