Last month I met some guys that are working on a really nice project that involved an iPhone app. So they invited me to design the web site, called Wellknown.as. I loved the idea and started looking for references and inspiration so I could start the design itself.
So in this tutorial I will show you a little bit of how I created it using Fireworks. Of course you can do the same thing in Photoshop, the commands will change a bit but the process is practically the same.
For some time now, I'm getting to know Drupal, a really powerful, open source cms. With it, it's possible to do virtually any kind of site you want, and it's great for magazine style sites. If you don't know, Abduzeedo is made on Drupal.
After a really long time, we're bringing back our Web Design series. I had this in mind since the our last post in this series, but since we were exploring new areas, we didn't have the opportunity until now! This color will just pop out from any layout!
During the weekend I decided to work on the iPhone version of Abduzeedo. Firstly I thought that only a few tweaks in the CSS file would be enough, but it was a bit more complicated than that. However, there are quite a few ways to create a nice iPhone version for your site using services like Mobify.me.
One of the most enjoyable moments for a web designer is coding CSS. It's such a nice language that it actually gets fun to work with it... style your pages and actually watching your designs gain life and forms. But sometimes, a little help is welcome.
When you check a nice designed web site, is kinda frustrating when you realize they didn't get a cool footer. Each has its body, and the footer is such an important part of it that I just can't understand how come people don't spend time designing it properly.
"Less is more". That's what some people say... and they might be right. Usually, minimalistic sites are really beautiful, and even with few elements, they deliver us their message, and that's just what we need.
Every day I go through a lot of blogs and I always try to notice and understand why they display their post the way they do, so I decided to share with you guys by selecting a couple good blogs and talk about how they display their posts on the main page.
Collage is a cool style that deserves attention. Assembling random images to built a good looking site is one though task, but there are those who manage to do a fantastic job, worth of being showcased here.
Hello, it's been a long long time since I've posted something but I'm happy to be back and I hope to post more often. I've had this idea for a post for a while, it's something I've seen only a handful of times but I really like it. It's about websites that use full page videos as their backgrounds.
