As far as colors go, try to stick to colors either in the same hue or saturation level. 3. This has been touched on a bit already, but the priority and emphasis that different fonts convey naturally has to be taken into account. 4. 5. 6. 7.
Meticulous Design: Dramatic Headlines – Inspiration Bit It’s been awhile since I shared with you my ideas for the re-design of Inspiration Bit. Unfortunately, the makeover had to be pushed on a back burner due to many other obligations and lack of time. However, since starting from last week I went solo and building my own business, I definitely need to make my blog’s re-design a priority. With this post I’m starting from the area of a blog that’s often left ignored — headline, date, author data and number of comments. I called them “dramatic” because some of them indeed appear rather theatrical though not being too showy, others seem to be emerging from antique pages of books or magazines, while others simply manifest themselves with a bold statement without the use of Impact. Talented illustrator and designer Kevin Cornell most probably loves theatre, just check out his Shakespearean comic and, of course, the site’s design that looks more like a washed out old poster where every little detail was carefully thought out. Thankfully, Mr.
50 Spectacular Out of Bounds Photoshop Manipulations OOB (out of bounds) is the result of a photo manipulation technique, done with a software such as Photoshop or The GIMP, which creates an optical illusion of a 3D effect and, just like the name says, it presents the subject as coming out of the bounds of a photo. So the OOB images show a photo within another photo. The OOB technique is quite easy to implement if you have basic photo editing knowledge, some imagination and the right pictures. In this post we’ll show you the 50 most outstanding and creative OOB creations, for your delight and inspiration. Enjoy!

CSS drop-shadows without images Drop-shadows are easy enough to create using pseudo-elements. It’s a nice and robust way to progressively enhance a design. This post is a summary of the technique and some of the possible appearances. Demo: CSS drop-shadows without images Known support: Firefox 3.5+, Chrome 5+, Safari 5+, Opera 10.6+, IE 9+ I’ll be looking mainly at a few details involved in making this effect more robust. After a bit of back-and-forth on Twitter with Simurai, and proposing a couple of additions to Divya’s and Matt’s demos using jsbin, I felt like documenting and explaining the parts that make up this technique. The basic technique There is no need for extra markup, the effect can be applied to a single element. The pseudo-elements need to be positioned and given explicit or implicit dimensions. The next step is to add a CSS3 box-shadow and apply CSS3 transforms. One of the pseudo-elements then needs to be positioned on the other side of the element and rotated in the opposite direction.
