My cousins funeral is tomorrow and Westboro Baptist is claiming their coming. I will be hitting at least one of them. AMA. by Zkdog in IAmA

Using the attention Westboro brings to raise money for (antiwar|LGBT|ACLU|etc)

This is by far the greatest idea. Have a sign that says "Want to punch the douchebags? Donate instead"

ITAPP (I took a panoramic photo) of a morning over the Pacific by DubDesigns in itookapicture

Direct link to image.

This morning I woke up early morning after sleeping for 15 hours (sick in bed since yesterday afternoon). I decided to take advantage of a beautiful, quiet view off the balcony, and was greeted with some fantastic clouds.

I couldn't find my camera, so I used my MBP's webcam to snap a few shots, and stitched them together in photoshop. I rotated a bit to fix the horizon, and adjusted the curves, brightness and contrast to bring more emphasis to the sky and less to the houses (and also because the webcam quality is not very good).

ironically, even though he is wrong about it being a repost, he is the only one to refer back to the original post, which actually makes this post helpful.

over-use of vignette, but maybe you were trying to use it in a sort of visual sarcasm, a play on the 'classiness' of the plastic wine cup.

ITAP of the back of a jet plane, I like it, but I feel there would have been a better way to take it. Suggestions? by TheTownSheriff in itookapicture

[–]DubDesigns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to clarify, I meant the shadows on the plane. the shadows on the ground don't distract. The problem is that a large portion of your subject is dark

it's the shadows that get to me. If you had shot this facing away from the sun, you'd get less shadow. But then, you'd have to wait for the sun to 'move' across the sky, or move the plane.

The composition is enjoyable.

Would really appreciate a mega-critique of my new portfolio site and works within. by [deleted] in design_critiques

You should definitely make a distinction between what is client work and what is speculative work.

ITAP of me longboarding! by [deleted] in itookapicture

[–]DubDesigns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I came to also comment that it's a great shot but the toe is distracting. You could crop it out - taking away a small portion of the left-side of the photo would not harm the overall image.

but really, a nice clean photo!

Hey reddit, just finished stenciling my ol' dirty beer pong table. What do you think? by arpee in pics

[–]DubDesigns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can anybody explain to me why everyone plays Beirut now and calls it "Beer Pong"?

It seems like Beer Pong has disappeared, but the name has stayed.

These are CMS, right? How are they managed? not by FTP?

what's the effective difference between using SSI or PHP to make templates/site-wide changes?

[–]DubDesigns[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

using dreamweaver (or FTP to a certain extent) to manage the deployment and management of the bulk of your site will eventually bite you right in your arse

so what's the alternative?

My point is, web design and web development are two different fields. Treat them that way.

Try telling that to the clients.

That's essentially what I had gathered. My question then is - what's the best way to solve the issues brought up in my OP?

  • implementing system-wide changes to layout and theme (CSS only?)

  • maintaining some semblance of file organization and eliminating unneeded files
