From Home to Work, Everything Covered
Last week we discussed what CSS actually is and what it does. We looked at some similarities between that and the way you create your print artwork and came to a conclusion that the principle between both is pretty much the same.
Our task for today then is to find out how does this code work. And just like last week I will try to find some similarities to design for print.
Have you ever been into a maze? It’s almost the same as public speaking handbook tells about speaking in front of any audience. At first it seems fun, you talk every next step with excitement but after a while you start hoping that every next turn will take you closer to a way out or a place you are going to but in most cases it only takes you deeper and deeper into the labirynth. And what is even worse, there seems to be no escape from it.
What is your reaction to that, frustration, irritation, fear? Well one thing is for sure, you want to get out as quick as possible and you would use all the magic you can think of to do so. Unfortunately many websites these days are mazes like that. They take you deeper and deeper and sometimes a close button on your browsers window seems like the only way out.
For a long time I was looking for a perfect way to start this series, a statement that would summarize it all and the only thing that ever came into my mind was “you already know it, you just don’t know how to use it”.
I think one of the biggest misconceptions in relation to front-end development is a belief that it actually is programming and thus requires such skills from a person doing it.
Of course saying that there’s no programming in front-end development at all wouldn’t be completely true although those elements do not appear on a basic level. What we will be discovering is in fact closer to what you do everyday as designers than to programming.
I have to be honest with you, I had a different plan for todays article but as I started jotting down notes for it I suddenly remembered how puzzled I was when I first heard some of web design terminology. I remembered my senior web design friends talking and me not understanding half of it. All I could talk about was how marketing works, how to design proper marketing brochure, how to make it attractive to a reader and so on.
