Typographic Design Patterns and Best Practices - Smashing Magazine Advertisement Even with a relatively limited set of options in CSS, typography can vary tremendously using pure CSS syntax. Serif or sans-serif? Large or small font? Line height, spacing, font size and padding… The list goes on and on. To find typographic design patterns that are common in modern Web design and to resolve some common typographic issues, we conducted extensive research on 50 popular websites on which typography matters more than usual (or at least should matter more than usual). We’ve carefully analyzed their typography and style sheets and searched for similarities and differences. Ultimately, we identified 13 general typographic problems and issues related to typographic design and tried to find answers to them through our research: How popular are serif and sans-serif typefaces in body copy and headlines? We ended up with solid data, which we evaluated and prepared for this article. 1. Two thirds of the websites we surveyed used sans-serif fonts for body copy. 2. 3. 4.

“Five Cardinal Sins” of presentations « Presentation Impact As I noted in the prior posts, Jerry Weissman’s Presenting to Win has many great things to say. Here’s a pair of brief extracts: StoryWeissman…getting your story straight is the critical factor in making your presentation powerful. In fact, when your story is right, it serves as a foundation for your delivery skills. The reverse is never true. The importance of story is a theme that Weissman hits many times and in many ways. The Five Cardinal SinsThe vast majority of presentations fall prey to what is known as the Five Cardinal Sins:No clear point. That’s a pretty good summary what’s wrong with the overwhelming majority of presentations. Be clear about your purpose–what do you want the audience to do after the presentation? Anything you think should be added to that list ? ________________________Related Posts: Like this: Like Loading...

The Social Business Video People Just Get [yframe url=' The Story Behind The Video Last holiday season, I received an email from a secretary who was planning a work party. ”Please RSVP and tell me what you are bringing.” I talked with her and asked, “Why aren’t you using the collaborative tool? In my next training I related this experience and then showed a live example of what could have been done. My thoughts turned to helping others “get it” as well, as easily and as quickly as this class did. Then, at the end, I thought I would show the video for the first time – give a pre-screening to those in the meeting. Now, when I show this video in my workshops and trainings, people just “get it.” If it will help you, feel free to use it as well. (Parts of the video have been blurred so names and logos are not revealed.
Publish What You Learn Advertisement I don’t think anyone can deny that the Web has changed the way people teach, learn, and do research. Of course, this doesn’t mean that everything we read online is true and accurate—far from it. In the final week of November 2011, a smart group of developers1 launched a project called Move The Web Forward2, which you can read more about in Addy Osmani’s Smashing Magazine article3. For this post, I want to focus on one piece of advice given by those developers in that project, under the heading “Write4”. The advice is: Publish what you learn. As soon as I read that exhortation (which originated with this tweet5), I knew this was a project made by a group of people who cared about the Web and that they understand what it takes to move forward as developers, and as an industry. Let’s explore those four simple words, because I believe that concept is at the heart of how much progress has been made in the front-end development niche. Just Do It Why did they become successful? Why?
Method & Models for Students I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn’t say any other way—things I had no words for. —Georgia O’Keeffe The other day I wondering about how we are deliberately teaching visual grammar and literacies. One way that I have introduced graduate students to visual grammar is through an engagement with shapes that Molly Bang outlines in her fabulous book, Picture This. The process I am outlining via this slideshare has been used by middle and secondary teachers very successfully with their students. Playing with shapes in order to (re)tell a story or illustrate a phrase helps learners to internalize Bang's 10 insights about how shape influences the way we feel. If you do this work with students, would you drop me a tweet (@maryannreilly) or a comment on the blog letting me know how it went? Rick Mereki's MoveMOVE from Rick Mereki on Vimeo.

Vendedores de ideas Si buscamos la palabra «crear» en el diccionario, el primer significado que encontramos es: «Producir algo de la nada». Poco más sabemos de la misteriosa capacidad creativa. Entendamos pues por crear, originar algo por primera vez, algo nuevo que jamás haya existido, una especie de don que parece ser muy selectivo, pues es un talento que alcanza solo a unos pocos. «La gente creativa es aquella que aporta soluciones originales, últiles y bellas. Estadísticamente es infrecuente pero consideramos que está, en distinta medida, en todo ser humano», afirma Carlos Rodríguez Sánchez, profesor de Psicología Básica de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid. «Se trata de llevar a cabo lo que intuyes. La artista Alicia Framis lo resume en una frase contundente: «A mí crear me da ganas de seguir viviendo». Y como parte que somos de la sociedad recibimos una cantidad de información desbordante que debemos saber gestionar», añade Framis. En el proceso creativo hay muchos métodos que ayudan.
10 Visual Design Quick Tips eLearning and slide presentations are highly visual mediums. The visual clarity of screens and slides can have a big impact on learning.

Connie Malamed (@elearningcoach) publishes The eLearning Coach, a website with articles, resources, reviews and tips for learning professionals. How to Prevent a Web Design Shelf Life The main thing I try my best to do, but nearly always struggle to do, is make my websites have longevity so that say in a year or two they don’t look out of date and well a bit pants. This I think is the biggest thing when it comes to partial mental breakdowns when developing a website for me, as sometimes even by the time I have finished designing it and then put it into code, it looks out of date and some what amateur. With the trends in website changing on an almost bi-monthly basis at the moment with the integration of the newer techniques when you are designing a website it is almost certain to look out of date within the year if you are not careful! I’m not saying that you should build a website where it will look the same forever as this well just isn’t realistic, tastes change, people change its normal. But I don’t think that you should have to be redesigning a website as often as it seems we have to with the new fads that are coming out. Conclusion Did you enjoy this article?
A Beginner's Guide to Combining Multiple Fonts Using multiple fonts in the same design can get tricky if you don’t have knowledge of basic theories and good practices. In my opinion pairing fonts is one of the most difficult parts of the design process. If you have no idea where to begin, then this article will guide you through the knowledge you need for now. Browsing the internet for tips about pairing fonts can get confusing, because there are many practices designers use. Therefore I researched a lot in the past couple of weeks and I will present you what is, in my opinion, the right way of doing this. The question I get asked the most is “how many fonts should I use?” However, even if I usually say two, there are no rules that say how many different fonts you can use. Another question is “to buy or not to buy?”. Kerning may not be perfect in free fonts, because font developers do not put as much work into it – and why would they, as long as it’s for free and they don’t get anything out of it?
