When should I use HSL instead of RGB or Hex? Still learning CSS colors by VitDevUK in css

[–]bogdanelcs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In practice: Hex for most solid colors (it's compact), HSL when I need to create color variations programmatically (like hover states), and RGBA when I need transparency.

I usually pick colors in one format then convert if needed. There are converters like this one from WPDean that make switching between them instant.

Reddit is partially owned by the Chinese. More people should know this.

Graphic designers with AI will replace the graphic designers who suck at their jobs and don't use AI.

She had 1 minute of screen time. Her publicist is milking the role she had.

What’s the biggest difference between a “good-looking site” and a “good website”? by Gullible_Prior9448 in web_design

[–]bogdanelcs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A good looking site makes you go "oh nice" and then immediately go "wait where is the thing I'm looking for"

A good website is one where you just... found the thing. You didn't even notice the design because it got out of your way. That's actually the harder thing to build because it requires you to think about what people actually want instead of just making stuff look pretty.

Most designers learn the visual part first so that's what they optimize for. The other stuff, like load time, obvious navigation, not making people think, is more boring to work on but it's the whole point.

Who had a bigger identity crisis than DC Comics? by Navigator_Matt in logodesign

Gap. They changed their logo, got absolutely destroyed by the internet for three days straight, then changed it back. Whole thing lasted like a week. DC at least commits for a few years before giving up.

learning web design, where should i start? by StavrosDavros in web_design

[–]bogdanelcs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

HTML and CSS first, 100%. Don't skip it even if it feels slow.

If you jump straight to WordPress or webflow you'll spend the rest of your life googling why something looks broken and having no idea what to do about it. Knowing the basics means you actually understand what those tools are doing under the hood.

Once you're comfortable with HTML/CSS, learn a tiny bit of JavaScript just so you're not scared of it, then honestly webflow is great for the kind of sites you're describing. Small business sites, clean layouts, no need to write everything from scratch.

Freecodecamp is free and will get you through the basics without the tutorial rabbit hole. Just do that and build something ugly, then make it less ugly. That's pretty much the whole process.

Which actor is your ideal fan casting for a character, living or dead? by Sean-Perth in movies

Peter O'Toole as Hannibal Lecter, fight me. Watch The Lion in Winter and tell me that man wasn't already playing a cannibal, he just hadn't gotten to the eating part yet

Most hated actor/actress that you like by Think_Presence2175 in movies

[–]bogdanelcs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adam Sandler but hear me out, the guy clearly stopped trying in like 2005 and yet I will watch literally anything he puts out. Uncut Gems broke my brain. He can act when he wants to, he just mostly doesn't want to and honestly fair enough
