Visual #design #rules you can safely follow every time
▻https://anthonyhobday.com/sideprojects/saferules
You do not have to follow these rules every time. If you have a good reason to break any of them, do. But they are #safe to follow every time.
– Use near-black and near-white instead of pure black and white
– Saturate your neutrals
– Use high #contrast for important elements
– Everything in your design should be deliberate
– Optical #alignment is often better than mathematical alignment
– Lower letter spacing and line height with larger #text. Raise them with smaller text
– Container borders should contrast with both the container and the background
– Everything should be aligned with something else
– #Colours in a palette should have distinct brightness values
– If you saturate your neutrals you should use warm or cool colours, not both
– Measurements should be mathematically related
– Elements should go in order of visual weight
– If you use a horizontal grid, use 12 columns
– #Spacing should go between points of high contrast
– Closer elements should be lighter
– Make drop shadow blur values double their distance values
– Put simple on complex or complex on simple
– Keep container colours within brightness limits
– Make outer padding the same or more than inner padding
– Keep body text at 16px or above
– Use a line length around 70 characters
– Make horizontal #padding twice the vertical padding in buttons
– Use two #typefaces at most
– Nest corners properly
– Don’t put two hard divides next to each other

]]>Announcing the GNU Kind Communication Guidelines
▻https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2018-10/msg00001.html
A code of conduct states rules, with punishments for anyone that violates them. It is the heavy-handed way of teaching people to behave differently, and since it only comes into action when people do something against the rules, it doesn’t try to teach people to do better than what the rules require. To be sure, the appointed maintainer(s) of a GNU package can, if necessary, tell a contributor to go away; but we do not want to need to have recourse to that.
]]>Atelier populaire d’#urbanisme
L’Atelier Populaire d’Urbanisme de la Villeneuve est une initiative lancée à l’automne 2012 pour construire une alternative au projet de rénovation urbaine de l’urbaniste Yves Lion et de la ville de Grenoble alors dirigé par M.Destot.
Ce projet décidé "d’en haut avait suscité beaucoup des oppositions de la part d’habitants qui refusaient la logique qui a mené à la démolition du 50 galerie de l’Arlequin, la construction d’un nouveau parking et le redécoupage du réseau routier. Un collectif contre la démolition, ensuite surnommé Vivre à la Villeneuve a lancé la mobilisation, dénoncé la fausse concertation et a lancé un appel à la ministre du logement pour la remise en cause du projet de rénovation urbaine.
En 2013, à l’occasion du 40ème anniversaire de la Villeneuve et à l’initiative du collectif interassocati Villeneuve Debout, une multitude d’ateliers ont aboutit à la formulation d’un projet urbain stratégique et démocratique. Ce projet a montré qu’une autre approche de l’urbanisme est possible, issue « d’en bas », basée sur les intérêts des habitants, et qui visent les logiques de pouvoir d’agir des habitants.

]]>Primary-school rules good for grown-ups, too – Brotherhood News
▻http://brotherhoodnews.com/2017/11/25/primary-school-rules-good
We gave our son three key rules to help him get through primary school without causing too many incidences. They worked, and he came close to admitting they continue to help make him successful now.
In light of all the misconduct and abuse being recently revealed about some powerful people, I thought I would share his three rules because there are some grown-ups that could really put these to good use.
