One of the things that I’ve learned from Jared as we’ve been working on a couple of projects is that good design fits a grid. Yes, we’ve covered a couple a grid framework here on Create – arguably the most popular being the 960 Grid System – but we’ve covered few web-based tools for helping [...]

When it comes to finding free online resources for building out various features of your site, application, or other form of media, it’s not exactly a difficult challenge. Free icons, color scheme generators, and artwork are all easy to come by. Far less frequently do I see resources for typography, so when I do, I [...]

I’ve constantly evolving my online properties. This is partly due to the fact that I get bored really easily and also because I have an insatiable need to create. What’s nice is that a personal landing page is small, easy, and doesn’t require too much work, effort, or financial cost. In fact, I’ve already talked [...]

There are a number of great apps for the iPhone/iPad that can help you draw and sketch when you’re feeling the itch, but what about the Android? Check out this very simple Android App called Sketcher where you can easily do drawings, sketches, and even some functional wireframes. Check out these examples from @Dewde, who [...]

John Dyer is so cool. He’s just launched some new javascript goodness with MediaElement.js, which replaces <video> with either Silverlight or Flash which returns a wrapper object that matches the HTML5 Media Element API.

What it appears to be is an opportunity to donate your time, resources, and talents to help NPO (Non Profit Orgs) with their specific business needs.

@Robdobiscool (what an interesting handle) asked me this privately yesterday and I thought it would be a great question to ask the community. I’ve got an example form that North Point Community Church uses which you can find here [PDF Download]. I had to sign one of these when I participated in the White Flag [...]

I’m all for making “online” easier and more manageable. I know there are a few “purists” out there (heck, I graduated with a lot of them) that try to keep web development out of the hands of so-called tourists, but I’m not that arrogant. Or, at least I hope I’m not… I think it is [...]

There’s a lot of free icons sets out there and it’s pretty easy to find them. We’ve even shared a few here on Create over the past few months. The thing, we try to make sure we’re only pushing stuff that’s worthwhile for your projects. Such is the case with the Eloquence Icon Set…

Check out this tilt-shift text effect and experiment in CSS3. I’m not sure how practical this is for most websites but it could be done and executed well in the right context and design. The future potential of the combination of CSS3 and HTML5 is blowing my mind.
