Using Firebug to Live Edit CSS

Rogie — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 13:29:30 +0000

Working on the Mad Mimi redesign CSS, I take about 5 minutes to show you why I love debugging CSS using Firebug. I’m not sure how elementary this is or how familiar you are with Firebug, but if it is helpful for you, I’ll start creating more Firebug screencasts.

King out.

Somebody (actually Patrick Schneider ) asked for it, so here it is. In my previous live design session screencast, I showed an icon with a brushed metal texture. People have been asking how, so, here’s how:

Not so much a tutorial, this is really a near-live sneak peek into the design process behind the Logo/Icon for Rainboxx. I’ve also posted this work in progress to Dribbble where you can see the first revision. In this video, I “work out loud” and work on creating the insignia on the Rainboxx logo.

Yet another impromptu tutorial, I talk about using symbol tweening in Adobe Fireworks and how this powerful technique can be used to create patterns.

Impromptu Tutorial: Creating Crisp Vector Shapes

Rogie — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 17:59:11 +0000

I’ve always wanted to do a video tutorial, but I lack the ability to plan. Much of the design I do is as I am motivated. If I am motivated, I have to jump on it — I can’t spend a day planning, I just have to do it and do it naow *Arnold voice*.

Today I had one of those feelings. As I was designing an icon for my social media icon set, it hit me. I want to start sharing what I do with others, so I did it.

In this episode, I share my technique for creating smaller crisp vector shapes like you see on the social media icon set.

Please leave a comment and tell me what you thought of the tutorial and what I can do to improve in the future. Or don’t.
