Digital Literacy: Skills for the 21st Century: Introduction This Digital Literacy Toolkit began with the premise that multimedia authoring, which is happening with the extensive use of PowerPoint in classrooms, must be taught as a skill, just as traditional text-based writing is taught. While teachers and students have become familiar with the technical skills required to use images in multimedia productions, they lack a critical language to determine whether an image or a sound is used appropriately. Images, sounds and animations — like words — are building blocks whose meanings can be changed to suit the communicative purpose of the author. Just as the same words and phrases can be arranged or manipulated to express different meanings depending on the author’s intent, so can sounds and images.

iOS7 UI Effects in Photoshop and After Effects With the announcement of iOS7, Apple revealed a completely new UI for their mobile OS. With the super flat design and thin fonts, Apple said that the design would be adaptable to apps by making some of the basic UI elements transparent, therefore, some of the colors of your apps content would bleed through and define how iOS7 basic components would influence the overall appearance. Another important detail of the UI was that with the transparency a blur effect was applied, similar to Windows Vista and their Aero design. With that in mind, I decided to see how to create and share a super simple workflow to achieve this effect using Photoshop and After Effects. So for this tutorial I will show you how to achieve the blur effect of iOS7 using Photoshop and After Effects. Step 1 The first thing I did was to download the iOS7 iPhone PSD from teehanlax ( to use the basic iOS7 UI. Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Time to open After Effects. Step 5 Step 6 Step 7 Step 8 Step 9
The CSS Box Model At the risk of over-repeating myself: every element in web design is a rectangular box. This was my ah-ha moment that helped me really start to understand CSS-based web design and accomplish the layouts I wanted to accomplish. We've talked about the positioning of these boxes a bit, and about their behavior. What we haven't talked about much is the box itself. How is the size of the box calculated exactly? Here is a diagram: If you are a Firebug user, you might be used to the diagram like this, which does a nice job of showing you the numbers affecting any box on the page: Notice in both examples the margin is in the white. The size of the box itself is calculated like this: What if these values are undeclared? If padding or borders are undeclared, they are either zero (likely if you are using a css reset) or the browser default value (probably not zero especially on form elements that are commonly not reset).
