  1. Colour in Web Design – Roundup

    Tweet

    We’ve compiled some fantastic collections of beautiful websites which make exceptional use of various colours. So it’s time to bring it all together. We’re just going to briefly look at using different colours together in different situations, using complementary colours and I’ve created a colour in web design quilt – a wave of colour and […]

  2. Famous Logos in CSS3 – Volkswagen

    Tweet

    We’re advancing things a little this week by tackling the Volkswagen logo. The logos we’ve re-created so far have focused on manipulating flat shapes, whereas the VW logo has much more depth, with several gradients and shadows. We’re going to be focusing on the CSS3 gradient property in this post, dissecting the code and explaining […]

  3. Colour in Web Design – Pink

    Tweet

    So we’ve reached the end of the Colour in Web Design series! And we’re finishing off with the colour pink. Lighter tones of pink can show weakness, vulnerability and – whether we like it or not – in the western culture it is perceived as a feminine colour. In contrast, harsher tones of pink, or […]

  4. Famous Logos in CSS3 – The Dark Knight

    Tweet

    As requested, I’ve decided to follow up last week’s post (within which we re-created the Batman logo with CSS3), with the Batman logo used in the new films. The shape is simpler and easier to achieve than the original Batman logo so in order to ensure further progression in this series I’ve added a couple […]

  5. Famous Logos in CSS3 – Batman

    Tweet

    The second famous logo in the series we’ll be attempting to re-create with CSS3 is the Batman logo! Last week we looked at the Pepsi logo, which was relatively simple with only three blocks of colour to manipulate into the appropriate shapes and position. The Batman logo is a bit more tricky, occupying a much […]

  6. Colour in Web Design – Yellow

    Tweet

    Yellow is often perceived as a happy, cheerful colour which is often used to create warm and inviting designs. On the other hand, yellow is also used to denote warnings and is sometimes seen as cowardice. In the series so far, this is possibly my favourite round-up. The colour has been used to create some […]

  7. Famous Logos in CSS3 – Pepsi

    Tweet

    This is the first in a new, experimental CSS3 series within which I will be attempting to re-create a famous brand logo each week without the aid of any images, using only CSS. I should probably start by saying there may be better or more efficient ways to achieve my outcomes than whatever methods I […]

  8. Colour in Web Design – Green

    Tweet

    Green signifies nature and the environment. The word has even taken on a brand new meaning; an attitude of being environmentally friendly and socially responsible, subsequently resulting in a whole host of websites making use of the colour green to portray such a consumer friendly image. The colour green is also synonymous with peace and […]
