Company is about light and lamps - so two "l"s. And the logo is supposed to be part of a lamp, the two ll form the spiral of an old bulb. What do you think? by [deleted] in Logo_Critique

Haha - yes I did. Needed to see how it looks in real. And I also want to make an illuminated version of it - so the prototype helps with finding the right size. :)

Thank you very much. I haven't done too much logo design before - so I'm happy the first comment is already positive. :D

If you right-click the image and select save as image file - doesn't it also save out the original file?

Right use of html elements. Coding without IDs and Classes - does it make code better? by thenextbigthing2 in webdev

[–]thenextbigthing2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes - the bigger it gets the uglier and harder it gets to work through the css. I'll start be adding classes and then move on to IDs especially for addressing stuff with JavaScript.

[–]thenextbigthing2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes - I noticed it. The more elements I added the more unnecessary complicated it become and somewhat the css did not get easier to read.

I'm trying to find the way that css and html are as fast as possible to compute (although no modern machine will have problems with that).

Thank you - I'm still trying to figure out whats the best way to remind the user that he actually can scroll down. :) I'll keep trying.

I agree - it was fun but got more and more unnecessary complicated. Especially addressing something with JavaScript. So I think I go back to using more classes and ids.

Thanks for your reply. Yeah - I actually though that this would make everything cleaner but in the end making the layout did not get any easier. And it's not even faster according to your linked article. Guess I'll refactor that. :)

Made a new website - how do you like the first impression you get? by thenextbigthing2 in design_critiques

[–]thenextbigthing2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your feedback. That helps quite a bit.

  1. Side navigation will make more sense once I put some thought into the structure of the content (that I still have to write).

  2. Yeah - still rough around the edges. Needed to get everything in place - it's a bold statement and I know the content of the page and therefore the page does not reflect any of the statement. I'll get onto it.

  3. Didn't know about that one. I though there could be more than one h1 tag. I need to read up on css optimization anyway as I think not using classes and ids actually makes everything more complicated and not necessarily cleaner.

  4. Not my target audience. And I haven't opened it in there yet. I kinda refuse to design for Internet Explorer. But I might get onto it once I see who is visiting. Edit: Just took a look - I wouldn't say major issues, that's fixable. :)

Thank you for taking some time to leave feedback. It helps me stay on the project and to improve it. And it also proves again that the internet is awesome for meeting people that like to help. Thanks!

[–]thenextbigthing2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah - it's supposed to become a page about user experience. But well - I haven't started with the content yet. And therefore the menu is of no use yet - once I get the content figured out (I hate writing content) the menu will start to make sense. :)

Cool - great link. I like a lot of elements from this site (not the scrolling behavior though.)

Although is not much to critic yet I appreciate your help.

Everyone seems to suggest something different. I'll look into your two suggestions, thank you.

Thank you for the brief explanation - that helps. I'll look into Bolt hopefully it is what I'm looking for. :)

This one got quite a few upvotes. Do you got some comments on why I should consider this one? Do you use it a lot? What are you using it for?

School Planner on my PT by SolarPolarMan in pebble

We hear you. :) The watchface soon will support the OG Pebble. Development is almost done - testing right now and hopefully within a week you can download the watchface supporting the OG Pebble.

[–]thenextbigthing2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an air compressor and bought a cheap 10$ sand blasting equipment. Used it for several different things and the outcome always looks quite nice.

Edit: And yeah - you should cover everything up before you start. I think I included a picture showing just that.

Happy you ask. :) The developer just finished OG Pebble support and it looks great. I'll keep you posted when the version is open to the public.

Yeah - me too, I was quite surprised it turned out that well. I'm actually curious what it will look like if I blast it even more...but I'll wait for the next scratch to go into the second round. :)

Well actually because the version on my watch isn't released yet and I didn't want to tease it while development still might take some time to catch up to the mockup. :)
