While viewing the source code from a number of sites one day, I noticed a large number of elements that contained no data. I started to wander why a web designer would place elements on a web page to display nothing. Then I realized that those empty elements were simple place-holders. Blank areas of the screen that the designer would later manipulate.One very useful ability provided by JavaScript is the ability to replace the content of elements in an existing HTML document that was previously displayed, even empty elements. There are many reasons that a web designer may choose to take advantage of this ability but providing interactive pages is a likely goal.The retrieve HTML form data hub displayed the retrieved data on a new page. Although that method in fact displayed the data, (...)

One of the basic and the most important properties every web designer should learn is the float property. It is most commonly used for floating text around the image or creating the two column layout. The float property can cause a lot of frustration and confusion if it’s not fully understood, so let’s make those confusions disappear with this short but thorough explanation.The definitionThe CSS float property specifies, as the name says, how the element should float. With the usage of the float property, the element is placed along the left or right side of its container.The float property has the possible values:Left — the element floats to the left side of its containing block.Right — the element floats to the right side of its containing block.None — the element must not float.When an (...)

Sometimes creating a web design is like walking across the minefield. You never know which creative solution will endear the users and which will make them leave the brand forever. And while research and analytics tools provide insights into the user’s preferences, some design errors are persistent. Today we want to take you on a rollercoaster ride of the five worst mistakes a web designer can make and the five trendy ways to correct them.Design originality that hinders usabilityDesigners get caught up in the creative flow and forget that they create interfaces for users, not themselves.

THIS ISRAELI PRESENTATION ON HOW TO MAKE DRONE STRIKES MORE “EFFICIENT” DISTURBED ITS AUDIENCE
▻https://theintercept.com/2017/12/05/drone-strikes-israel-us-military-isvis

https://cdn01.theintercept.com/wp-uploads/sites/1/2017/11/israeli-drone-1509555535-article-header.jpg

RESEARCH BACKED BY the U.S. and Israeli military scandalized a conference near Tel Aviv earlier this year after a presentation showed how the findings would help drone operators more easily locate people — including targets — fleeing their strikes and better navigate areas rendered unrecognizable by prior destruction.

The doctoral student who presented the research demonstrated how pioneering data visualization techniques could show a drone operator, using lines and arrows of varying thickness, which direction fast-moving people and vehicles were most likely to travel, for example, at an intersection or while fleeing a building. The presentation clearly angered at least some of the crowd, including the moderator, prompting hostile questions.

“The guy’s talk (and its video documentation) revealed much of what’s very wrong about UAV warfare,” said Mushon Zer-Aviv, a web designer and activist and an organizer of the conference, the data visualization confab known as ISVIS.

The incident at ISVIS underscores the extent to which drone warfare’s deeply technological basis and inhumanity has become a major part of global public debate around its use. Once viewed (and still promoted) as an efficient, safer way to target terrorists, the growing ubiquity of lethal drone strikes in global hotspots is increasingly seen as helping to create wastelands and fomenting the sort of terroristic support it’s designed to eradicate.

Why front-end developers are so important to the future of businesses on the web « paulcarvill.com
►http://www.paulcarvill.com/2009/09/why-front-end-developers-are-so-important-to-the-future-of-businesses-o

The roles of web developers and web designers have been around for over 15 years now, and the role of a client-side or front-end web developer started to mature into a distinct entity around 10 years ago, as the content-presentation-behaviour layer paradigm became embedded in people’s working methodologies [...]. Unfortunately the perception of the front-end developer’s role remains somewhat coloured by an early association in observers’ minds with the other, loosely related role of the web designer. The role of web designer is an extremely important and valid one, but it is very different to that of the web developer, and the lack of a clear distinction between the two, in some people’s perception, is unhelpful and does both roles an injustice.

“Cure for the Common Font” — A Web Designer’s Introduction to Typeface Selection | #Typography Commentary | Typographica
►http://typographica.org/2011/on-typography/intro-to-typeface-selection

Now that web designers suddenly face the challenge (and delight) of choosing fonts from an ever-growing selection, we thought it’s a good time to recommend some basic principles for making wise type choices.

The slides from each of our four quick presentations are below, as well as audio generously provided by SXSW. If you’re short on time and feel like you know the fundamentals, skip ahead to the second half of the session — I think the Q&A is as useful as our prepared stuff.

CSS properties that affect type rendering « The Typekit Blog

So: as a web designer, font rendering is mostly out of your hands. But it’s important to remember that certain styles within your control can have an effect. When testing, keep in mind that different styles for contrast, size, color, and rotation can result in significant differences.
