Hi, I’m Brian Dys — a photographer from the inside looking out · a composer entangled in electronic music · a UX designer · a spouse, a parent, & everything in between.
It is the fifth day I’ve come back with my toolbox to continue building again.
Today, we’re going to look at how typography and link color/behavior could greatly affect the look of a site.
I’m planning to customize the link color and remove the default underline and also experiment on the webfont (maybe use Open Sans?).
But who ever said it is? Splash pages/screens in web and apps are useful while the homepage/screen is loading. One could also use an animation when exiting from the splash.
So be creative on those splash now.
Due to clumsiness, I lost a Photoshop file I was working on last Friday. It was an Android “mock-app” and prior to working on it, it was supposed to be a template file so the file name was something like “android-app_template_1a.psd.
Now, it’s Monday and it’s back to work, I was looking for the file with the project file name in mind. So, tough luck for me finding it.
I know, I could have looked up files modified by Friday but Windows 7 Search thinks you could just describe what you’re searching for in the Search field.
I never had this “difficulty’ in Windows XP. Makes me miss Benny the dog whom we shooed away far too many times. *sniff*
Since we can’t do anything about it, might as well memorize operators, keywords, and wildcards for Windows 7 Search.
I recently joined The Noun Project — a site that crowdsources icons from designers and uploaders.
From their About page:
The Noun Project is a platform empowering the community to build a global visual language that everyone can understand.

All WordPress .assistive-text and .screen-reader-text are being hidden superficially — screen readers would still be able to read them.
Here’s the CSS snippet from HTML5 Boilerplate v4.0:
.visuallyhidden { border:0; clip:rect(0 0 0 0); height:1px; margin:-1px; overflow:hidden; padding:0; position:absolute; width:1px; }

By the way, I would write a separate post here how I write the class or ID name of an HTML element rather than placing the pre-defined class selector in the HTML code. For example, instead of putting .visuallyhidden in all elements that I want to be displayed according to the style, I would put its class or ID name along with .visuallyhidden in the stylesheet.

What does hair on your head mean to you? Definitely, hair (facial or wherever) – its meaning varies from culture to culture. I would not try to explore deeply the Filipino culture but my own (and maybe yours, my good reader).
This is the first hair on my head out of my mother’s womb:
Nobody could say, “I styled that hair” but nature itself. Until we’re one. Hair begins to grow into our eyes and onto our food. So mom and grandma morph into instant beauticians and take the bowl out of the kitchen to stencil our unadulterated hair to works of art.
What do you remember about your first hairstyle/cut?
