How to go beyond the basics with SVG filters Filter effects apply graphics operations such as blurs, lighting, colour transformations and distortions to content. Today's browsers implement three types of filters: CSS filters: a set of simple CSS properties like sepia() and contrast() that can be applied to any HTML content. SVG filters: combinations of graphics effects that can be applied to SVG content (and HTML content through a CSS filter cross-reference). In this tutorial, we'll start with a simple drop shadow, then customise shadow effects for text, walk through building a texture and finally recreate Gotham, which is a discontinued Instagram filter. Why filter effects? When you want to add visual effects to images, graphics, text or video, you can do this in pre-production with tools like Photoshop or Illustrator, or at runtime using canvas, SVG and/or CSS effects. Runtime effects can be animated, and you can prevent the performance impact of large image downloads (for example, for noise textures). A basic filter: Drop Shadow

Designing with Dynamic Content A lot of visual designers I’ve worked with have convinced themselves every user’s name is “Sara” without an “h”. For most of my career I’ve had to battle designers creating incredibly unrealistic best-case scenario mock-ups. You know what I’m talking about. The user’s name is “Sara Smith” and always fits neatly on one line. Her profile picture looks like it was clipped out of a magazine. Her profile is completely filled out. Of course these best-case scenarios rarely, if ever, occur in the real world. In order to create more robust and resilient designs, we need to concurrently account for the best situations, the worst, and everything in between. Accounting for Variation What if the user doesn’t upload a profile picture? These “what if” questions are important to ask throughout the entire design process. I’ve seen these issues repeatedly come up when teams don’t treat development as an essential part of the design process. Dynamic Design with Pattern Lab Separating Structure and Data

Why some projects just go right Like many web designers, I have spent a lot of time worrying about why projects go wrong. Perhaps we should be asking what makes a project successful. Headscape recently launched a website for the RAF Benevolent Fund. I am really chuffed with the result. It came in on budget, was turned around really fast and the client seems happy. Best of all, I love the final design produced by Chris Sanderson. My aim is not to massage Chris’ already over inflated ego, but rather to ask why that project went so well. Of course, every project will be different and what worked for the RAFBF might not work elsewhere. For this project there were 5 key elements of success: The client.Efficient planning.A focus on content.The use of wireframes.A different approach to design. Let’s look at each in turn beginning with the most important element in any project… the client. The client Without a doubt, the single biggest thing that will make or break a web project is the client. What do I mean by a ‘great client?’
