An FPO'ed image with HTML + CSS3

1.29.2010

By indie_preneur

I know I’ve had many projects that I had to create an extra step in Photoshop to accomplish. Whenever I used to comp a layout and the images either weren’t approved, or even  in a remote ballpark of being approved, I used to find an image similar to what I thought the client would want, and then ‘FPO’ it in Photoshop. And seeing as how I’m trying to design in the browser as much as I can, and with CSS3s awesomeness, I thought how could I skip this step in Photoshop.

This was never a hugely time-consuming step, but it was a whee bit annoying. For the record, I’m not sure if other people have done this before, I’m sure someone has, but after a quick search on google, I didn’t see anything.

I Love To Write Cleaner Code Each Day, It's Rad.

11.9.2009

I have to confess, I love many things about the phenomenon that is the interweb. If there’s a word I’m not quite sure what it means, I dictionary.com it, and then act like I knew what it meant. If I’m watching one of my favorite episodes of Seinfeld, and I forget who really invaded Spain in the 8th century, Wikipedia waits to comfort my nerves. It’s relatively easy to find a new indie band, and then proclaim to your friends you were listening to them before they actually formed. I love the immediacy of this medium. It’s very plug + play in a sense.

Why I say this is because I came to web from a fine arts / print background. And as much as I love print, I was just drawn to web, and I wasn’t always sure why. Lately, however, I’ve begun to realize what it is.

Although I thrive on feedback and criticism (from a design point of view), rarely is the code ever seen by clients, thus rarely is it ever reviewed. So, as it stands, I am my best and worst critic. I constantly critique my code by the fact that I read blogs and tweets all day relating to newer and cleaner coding techniques and how I may have done this or that in a less-than-ideal way previously.
