π Oi, mga repapips, Brian Dys here! I love music, photography, and creative stuff like UX design and art. This is a place where I collect my thoughts and works. Apart all these, I’m Jaycelle’s better half and Bryce’s dad. π₯°
Since you’ve already mastered the basic languages of web development (HTML, CSS, JS), you are now basically skilled as a Front-end Designer.
Dive deep into front-end web development (HTML, CSS, and JS) and take it from there.
Start by taking on personal projects wherein you will be the one to implement the front-end development aspect.
Practice via personal projects.
Do not use <br>
. Repeat: do not use <br>
.
HTML is about content.
<br>
is an HTML element but it is about the presentation of a break (visually a line break β not sure about aurally).
MDN sees the use of <br>
in poems and addresses wherein the division of lines is important.
Itβs helpful to frame your inquiry in these descriptions:
Interaction, User Interface, and Visual Designers
To enable designers in collaborating with front-end developers through discovery (of new methods and tools in design handoffs) and empathy (by experiencing front-end development).
As an exercise on Front-End Development, The UI Team took a screenshot from instagram.com and treated it as if it were a design mockup.
We then proceed to deconstruct its Structure and Skeleton (Elements of UX) thru Information Architecture, Interaction Design, Information Design. The knowledge that arose in this deconstruction was used in building the HTML and CSS.
See the Pen RE:Creation: Instagram by Brian Dys Sahagun (@briandys) on CodePen.
We, as Visual Designers, have experienced how time-consuming it was to build the Front-End of a design mockup basing only on a simple image.
The Design Handoff warrants to have more than the Brand Guidelines, Style Guide. It must also have some form of Information Architecture and Interaction Diagram that could greatly make Front-End Development faster.
