That’s one interesting design decision - putting brightly coloured images on greyish background.

I’m considering migrating this blog to WordPress. I have some ideas about expanding it and Tumblr is kind of restrictive when it comes to anything more than just the chronologically ordered posts and basic static pages. Plus, I never really got into WordPress theme development, which seems to be a useful skill these days.

If all goes well, the new version should be out by the end of this month.

“Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.”

- Calvin Coolidge

Dangers of Fracking

Parallax scrolling is one of the latest trends in web design. Like it or not, it definitely can make a website stand out visually!

Web Symbols typeface

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 23:13:00 +0000

Web Symbols typeface:

There are those points in every interactive designer’s career when he becomes fed up with producing the same set of graphics all over again for every website he designs. It could be the social network icons, gallery arrows or any number of his «signature» butterflies for the footer of each of his projects.

You don’t have to be an expert in the field to come across this particular issue. While not suitable for every case, the Web Symbols typeface can save a lot of time usually spent on searching for the right icons for your project.

If you’re not convinced that icon fonts are awesome, you should probably refer to this demonstration by Chris Coyier.

To be honest, I’m surprised (but very thankful!) this typeface is free.

Nerdi:

This has to be the biggest and most up-to-date collection of web developer and designer tools. It completely replaced the bookmarks to some of these tools I had in my browser. There’s also a suggestion form, in case you can’t find something that you use.

La Moulade

At first, you get the feeling that it’s yet another annoying Flash-based website. But once you start scrolling and the text and navigation start moving around, you realise this is a CSS and JavaScript masterpiece. Definitely one of the most original single page designs I’ve ever seen!

Kyan

Minimal, yet full of relevant information about the company and its work even without looking further than the home page. Horizontal sliding is also a pretty good idea and works out perfectly.

There are some great looking websites out there. And whenever I stumble upon one, I always want to share the awesomeness. So I’m starting my own website gallery/showcase where I’ll feature some of my favourites. I’m also considering styling the gallery posts differently, but for now they’ll just be a screenshot with a simple description below.

Better Google Web Fonts

Wed, 01 Feb 2012 23:22:00 +0000

Better Google Web Fonts:

If you’ve ever thought about using web fonts, then you probably are familiar with Google Web Fonts. What I don’t like about it is that it’s flooded with typefaces that only have a single weight, making them unsuitable for body text. And since the Google service doesn’t let you filter those out, Soma Design have come up with a page listing all of the font families, so it’s easier for designers to pick the right font for the job.

Android Design

Android Design:

Great, exactly what Android needs. I’m sick of ugly apps with unusual layouts. The unified design of most iOS apps is what sets them apart and makes them much more appealing to me. Аt least for now.

Thu, 24 Nov 2011 14:00:40 +0000

I’ve submitted a major update for my One theme. When it passes moderation, you’ll notice a slightly different look. That’s because I recoded and restyled the theme from scratch. I also added some features such as:

custom Tagline next to your blog title;
custom Pages support;
Ask and Submit links in the footer.

Custom colours, fonts and the tagline can be set from the customization options. If you haven’t changed the HTML you should get the update automatically as soon as it’s live. If you have and are unsure if you’ll be able to update it without breaking something, feel free to contact me, I’ll provide assistance if needed.

Enjoy and have a nice day!
