Post pobrano z: 21 Color Photos That’ll Make Your Eyes Pop

Colors play a massive role in everyone’s day-to-day life. If you’re not color blind, your eye can process somewhere around 7,000,000 colors. The power of the eye is a whole different conversation and can be left for another day, but colors in-and-of itself is a very fascinating topic to look at. Here are some facts about colors courtesy of Ucreative that will blow your mind!

  1. Blue is the most popular color in the world.
  2. The first color a baby sees is red.
  3. Men and women process colors differently.
  4. Pink can be an anger suppressor and can calm anxiety.
  5. The safest car color is white because it’s the most visible.
  6. Yellow and red promotes hunger.
  7. Chromophobia is a phobia of colors.
  8. There was once a law limiting the use of blue in art to Jesus and Mary’s robes.
  9. Colors affect depth perception.
  10. Mosquitos love blue.

34 Fierce (and not-so-fierce) Viking Logos

Post pobrano z: 34 Fierce (and not-so-fierce) Viking Logos

The Vikings were both fascinating and terrifying. The modern knowledge of these people is based mostly on stereotype, so let’s clear the air.

  • Viking never actually wore horned helmets like todays costumes depict
  • Vikings had excellent hygiene, using tweezers, razors, combs and ear cleaners made from animal bones and antlers.
  • Vikings might of been decent skiers.
  • Vikings weren’t actually a people group. Denmark, Norway and Sweden were home to groups of chief-led tribes that weren’t connected in anyway other than to fight each other.
  • Viking means a pirate raid in the Old Norse language.
  • Vikings discovered North America before Columbus, landing in Canada around 1000 AD.
  • The Vikings were actually quite civilized, despite being painted as complete barbarians. They had organized forms of government and gave their women some basic rights (unlike other cultures of that time.)

The Vikings eventually stopped raiding and gradually settled into the rest of civilization, becoming Norwegians, Swedes, and Danes.

Anyways, that was a quick history lesson, but here are some modern logos that have been inspired by the Vikings (or their stereotypes.) Enjoy!

I’d say SVG is normally the best fit for this kind of thing, but this is a damn impressive experiment. I like the websites interface in how you can hover over the parts of CSS and it shows you what part of the icon it is.

Build Your Next Website with Squarespace

Post pobrano z: Build Your Next Website with Squarespace

I’ve been reminded a few times lately how the web is both is a great enabler, allowing people all over the world to share ideas and build businesses, and a pain in the ass.

The other day, I listened to a gentlemen explain to me his unique startup business, a marketplace connecting two groups of people. It will be a real challenge, I thought, reaching all these people on both sides and getting them to understand how his business can help. He was up for the challenge and making great headway. His biggest problem, he said, was his website. ARG! The website should not be the limiting factor here. It should not be the hard part. The website should be the easy part. The hard part is reaching all those people that can make or break this idea.

A few weekends ago I watched a team come together and, highly reluctantly, spend their entire weekend handling frustrating infrastructure work on their website. Migrations gone haywire; upgrades being harder than they should have been. These people work with web tech, but web tech isn’t their business. Their time is better spent building their business, and on the weekend, resting their brains.

I’m not that worried about these folks. They have the expertise and resources to get through. I am worried about all the people out there who don’t. I’m worried about the people who are entrenched in a website setup that is far too complex for them and actively disrupting their work and business.

I wish more people used Squarespace.

With Squarespace, you’re getting a beautifully designed responsive site. You don’t have to worry about upgrades or security. You control everything – you don’t need permission or to call someone to change things on your site. You don’t need to worry about how domain names work, or hosting, or SSL. It makes the website the easy part so you can focus on whatever your hard part is. Plus I’ll worry about you less.

Dove Chinese New Year Reconciliation

Post pobrano z: Dove Chinese New Year Reconciliation

Mars China is promoting Dove (De Fu) chocolate in a commercial connecting Chinese New Year with intergenerational relationships. The 5-minute film tells the story of a young woman (Guan Xiao Tong) and her mother, their annual Chinese New Year ritual, and their changing relationship as they grow older. Their family greeting, “Nian nian de fu”, could be heard as “Good Fortune every year” or “Dove every year”. The commercial culminates in a touching reunion in which Dove chocolate and calligraphy is used to express their love.

Dove Chinese New Year

The campaign was inspired by insights which revealed a growing emotional disconnect within families as Chinese people struggle to show affection and emotion, especially to their parents. The campaign sees a shift in strategy for Dove, which usually targets young independent women with its advertising. This campaign aims to drive growth in volume and penetration for the brand by appealing to a broader audience.

Arthur Tsang, CCO, BBDO Beijing, said, “This year, we wanted to tell the story of everyone; the importance of family love and how it lingers no matter how distant we become as life carries us away from our parents. Being headstrong, feisty and independent is one thing, but what is it as young people that we are really rebelling against? Our goal was simply to touch upon this nerve and remind our audience, there’s always someone that loves you back home.”

Thomas Delabriere, vice president, marketing, Mars China said, “This Chinese New Year, Dove wants to be the most talked about campaign for a spot that really touches people’s hearts.”

BBDO Beijing ECD Howard Mok said, “We have created the “Dove Girl” for more than 2 decades; she has always been an independent, witty and charming girl. However, this year, she misses home. We changed the Dove girl’s image to make it a reflection of everyone; she connected the family and the ritual of Chinese New Year. Through the Dove chocolate box, which contained all of the “Fu” calligraphy over the years, it not only deeply connected the brand and ‘Nian nian De Fu’, but also created a unique symbol of blessing Chinese New Year with chocolate.”

The Media Object, A Bunch of Ways

Post pobrano z: The Media Object, A Bunch of Ways

The Media Object pattern is: image thingy on the left, heading and text on the right.

That’s what Nicole Sullivan called it and the name stuck. It’s a pretty simple pattern, but like all things web design, it can be done many ways.

Bootstrap’s version, which uses table layout in v3 and flexbox in v4.

Let’s take a crack at a lot of those ways. In these demos, I’m not particularly focusing on naming conventions, semantics, or browser support. Just possibilities.

With Floats

Certainly, we could float the image to the left!

See the Pen Media Block #1 by Chris Coyier (@chriscoyier) on CodePen.

But just floating means you get wrapping. Wrapping might be perfectly fine, or you might not want it.

I’d say in the typical media object pattern, there is no wrapping.

To fix that, we could make sure all the text is wrapped in an element, then make sure that element has padding-left equal to the width of the image and any white space between them.

See the Pen Media Block #2 by Chris Coyier (@chriscoyier) on CodePen.

Or, you could float both sides:

See the Pen Media Block #3 by Chris Coyier (@chriscoyier) on CodePen.

With Flexbox

Flexbox makes quick work of it!

See the Pen Media Block #4 by Chris Coyier (@chriscoyier) on CodePen.

Note that we’re allowing the <img> to become a flex item. We used align-items: flex-start; to make sure it doesn’t stretch out to the same height as the text.

With Tables

The media object could be a two-cell row of a table:

See the Pen Media Block #5 by Chris Coyier (@chriscoyier) on CodePen.

If you wanted to keep non-<table> markup, it’s still possible to make it behave like a table via display: table;:

See the Pen Media Block #6 by Chris Coyier (@chriscoyier) on CodePen.

With Grid

Grid layout allows us to define a set of columns. It’s quite easy to set up the first column to the fixed width we want, and the second column to take up the rest of the space.

See the Pen Media Block #7 by Chris Coyier (@chriscoyier) on CodePen.

Like in flexbox, we can avoid the image stretching itself out by aligning it to the top with align-self: start;.


I’m sure y’all can find about a dozen more ways to do it!
