NED12 design process webdesign css

shared by Vernon Fowler on 09 Sep 12 - Cached
  • I began by studying the content (text) of the existing page, making a model in my head of the document flow and hierarchy. I aggregated the sections of the page into logical groupings and assigned each a priority. I also spent time thinking about the purpose of the project, along with the ideas and concepts Dave Shea was trying to communicate when he created the Garden space and opened it up for other designers to contribute.
  • Showing off advanced CSS trickery is not the goal of this project. Instead, it attempts to demonstrate the beauty and flexibility achievable when designers grasp all the potential of CSS, using it as a tool to create a well-designed aesthetically-pleasing page which remains accessible, well-structured, and efficiently coded.
  • My Garden lists contained groupings of words and thoughts related to gardening, plants and flowers found in a garden, zen-like qualities, beauty and beautiful things, and characteristics of page design. I also created lists of all the elements, IDs, and classes used in Dave’s HTML, some of which made subtle appearances in the final design.
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • Once I exhausted the idea branching, I started drawing thumbnail sketches
  • Once I had a few rough compositions I liked, I began studying typefaces and letterforms.
  • In addition to my affinity for the letterforms, the pronounced medieval style of the headline type created a perfect contrast with the sans-serif modernity of supporting keywords and titles which I set in Helvetica.
  • My next step in the process was to research imagery which could be used as the foundation for background texture, and act as supporting visual content.
  • I tend to keep imagery confined to a particular region of the layout, or reserve it for a specific purpose. In my opinion, the overuse of photography or illustration can quickly create a crowded, chaotic design which just obscures the intention or message of the piece. Contrast is an element of design which I love to work with when creating anything visual. This comes just as much into play with use of imagery in a composition as it does within the image itself. Effectively integrating imagery into a design requires an awareness of balance and tension. Compact areas of motion and activity, countered with spaces for the eye to rest and relax.
  • When designing outside HTML and CSS, I focus on constructing the language and guidelines of the page, determining proportions, widths and heights, gutters and white space, specifying complementing typefaces, choosing relative type size and leading, and the application of color as a means of both obvious and subtle accent.
  • I started writing the CSS for the design at a high-level, focusing on the layout structure, major backgrounds, and large regions of the page.
  • Groups of elements were positioned in correct locations. Then I applied the necessary detail to each element, from the top of the page, down.
  • The addition of a background pattern to the left and right of the primary image was an added benefit of discovering I couldn’t position the header as I originally intended.
  • The vertical alignment wasn’t refined until after each column was already positioned on the page.
  • This unity of thought at the final stage of the process is a strong reason the designer and person responsible for generating the HTML and/or CSS need should be working together as closely as possible, if the two are not already the same person.

  • Web Design Tools are always handy to a web designer and coder, with tons of features, fantastic UI, these tools provide best results if used wisely. Every tool has its pros and cons, you have to choose which suits your needs, investment planning and the OS you are using.
  • Some of these are not cross platform and some are free, yes totally free design tools. But this list is not completed and can never be completed, without your input. With emerging trends of online apps some of the software are not needed to be installed on your computer. I hope you will like the collection for a start and I will be adding more and more web design tools which designer and developers use in day to day life. So stay connected and bookmark this post for future reference.

  • Have the most important panel open by default
  • Accordions may be configured to require that there is always a single panel open or to allow for more flexible possibilities (all panels closed, multiple panels open). Some practitioners consider it a best practice to permit only one panel to be open at a time, but others disagree.
  • For keyboard users an accordion usually ends up behaving either as a tree view or as a tab view.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • An accordion should degrade into something useful when Javacript is off, perhaps opening all panels.
  • Display none shouldn’t be used as this might hide the content from a screen reader. Instead consider setting a height of 0.

Don't Use The Placeholder Attribute - Smashing Magazine - 4 views

  • To recap, the placeholder attribute: Can’t be automatically translated; Is oftentimes used in place of a label, locking out assistive technology; Can hide important information when content is entered; Can be too light-colored to be legible; Has limited styling options; May look like pre-filled information and be skipped over.
  • Move the placeholder content above the input, but below the label:
  • Development Here’s how to translate our designed example to code:
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • aria-describedby ensures that the p content will be described last, after the label’s content and the kind of input it is associated with.
  • By using aria-describedby to programmatically associate the input with the p element, we are creating a priority of information for screen readers that has parity with what a person browsing without a screen reader would experience.
  • The floating label effect, a close cousin to this phenomenon, oftentimes utilizes the placeholder attribute in place of a label, as well.
  • Content hidden by an on-screen keyboard. 3rd party keyboards with larger heights may have a greater risk of blocking important content.
  • Vernon Fowler on 27 Jun 18
     
    Not only argues for not using the placeholder attribute but also describes an inclusive input hint and how to code it.
