Le Web c’est pas en 72 dpi, coco! Pour fêter ma présence sur ce blog — youloulou, foule en liesse! — je vous propose de dézinguer un mythe du petit monde de l’informatique et du graphisme. Ce mythe dans sa plus simple expression: Le print c’est en 300 dpi, et pis le web c’est en 72 dpi. Et donc, ça c’est faux. Densité des pixels d’un écran: à vos calculettes! Petit exercice pratique: nous allons calculer ensemble la densité de pixels d’un écran. Sur cet écran, 1 mm correspond à un peu moins de 4 pixels.On aura un résultat différent sur d’autres écrans. Pour notre exercice, prenons par exemple l’écran de mon iMac (insérez ici un troll de votre choix). Sa diagonale est de 20 pouces (à peu près, c’est probablement une valeur arrondie).Sa définition native est de 1680 pixels en largeur, et 1050 en hauteur. Pour savoir quelle est la densité de pixels de mon écran, je peux diviser la longueur de la diagonale en pixels par cette même longueur en pouces, et j’obtiendrai un résultat en pixels par pouce. Chaque écran est différent

Placeholder - Adobe Fireworks Extensions, Commands and Panels - johndunning.com When creating sketches and early mockups, it's often useful to draw image placeholders instead of including actual photos, icons, ads, etc. in the layout. The Placeholder auto shape makes this a snap. To create a Placeholder shape, find it in the Auto Shapes panel and drag it to the canvas. The shape's default size is 100 x 100 pixels, but you can drag any of the 8 yellow control points along its perimeter to resize it from that edge or corner. After dragging a control point, the new size will be displayed in the center of the shape, so you always know exactly how big each placeholder in your layout is. Note that you should use only the control points to resize the placeholder. Click the crosshair in the center of the placeholder to open the shape's properties dialog: You can then enter the desired width and height of the placeholder. By default, the placeholder shape has a solid light grey fill.

LESS « The Dynamic Stylesheet language Comment faire un brief créatif ? Ces deux mots qui sonnent bien ensemble sont pourtant parfois difficiles à corréler et à mettre en oeuvre pour un designer .

Optimizing The Design Workflow With Extensions Advertisement I’ve been using Adobe Fireworks for over a decade now and I can recommend it to anyone searching for the optimal screen design workflow. Much has been said about Fireworks’ capabilities as a design application, but today I want to focus on one of its other biggest strengths — its extensibility. As a platform, Fireworks gives its users a lot of freedom, when it comes to extending it. In this article, I’ll try to list some of my top extensions for Fireworks. My article is pretty detailed, so to help you navigate it, you can use the following list: Working With Extensions In Fireworks Fireworks can be easily extended, but the extensions are installed and maintained via the Adobe Extension Manager — a tool that must be run separatey from Fireworks. Before we review in detail the extensions that I can personally recommend, I would like to share a few general tips and suggestions on how to work with extensions in Fireworks.
