"Sometimes I put my log in information into the register fields." "Me too! I hate that not only do I feel stupid, I have to retype everything again." For one of my side projects, Leafy Chat, we have just added the concept of user accounts. This includes the need for registration and log in (as well as log out and forgot password and so on). Leafy Chat only requires an email address and a password for both registration and log in, so it would be great to have some clever way to have both forms on the homepage. Some things...

This post is about 5 useful CSS properties that you should be very familiar with, but will most likely rarely use. I’m not talking about the new fancy CSS3 properties. I’m referring to the old CSS2 properties such as: clip, min-height, white-space, cursor, and display that are widely supported by all browsers. So, don’t miss […]

Standard photographic print sizes are used in photographic printing. Cut sheets of paper meant for printing photographs are commonly sold in these sizes.

There have been many standard sizes of paper at different times and in different countries, but today there are two widespread systems in use: the international standard (A4 and its siblings) and the North American sizes.

The Ministry of Type is a site about type, typography, lettering, calligraphy and other related things that inspire me. I am a designer, illustrator and front-end developer with over 20 years experience in web, print and identity and am based on the south coast of England. I love hand-tracing and recreating old designs as vector artwork, and there are many examples of that in this site.

This technique (tutorial) allows you to apply a convincing stamped or weathered look to any typeface.

A step-by-step guide to creating delicate shadow lines and shaded engraved type.

Everybody is a critic. Rarely do you meet a client who doesn't have a personal opinion about design. They don't like green, they want the logo bigger, the tweaks and changes are endless. In this presentation Paul discusses how to make the process of sign off less painful. From how you develop and present design concepts to coping with common complaints. You will never find the perfect client but this presentation will allow you to manage them more effectively.

Found this great manual in the storage compartment of a vintage model NA-11 GE Food Freezer from the mid 1940's. We got it second hand for $10 about 25 years ago and it still works silently and reliably in our garage all-year winter and summer. It may not be an energy saver but it sure is reliable and rugged. Being a big chest style it has served as a make shift work bench when needed in the garage. The 12 page manual (3-sheets) is scanned so it would be easy for anyone to 2-side print their own copy and staple bind it. - Page 1 & 12
