If you’re a designer you may want to check this out, or even use this. ever heard of @font-face(well let me introduce breifly)@font-face is not exactly a feature which is new to CSS 3 world, since CSS 2 it has been proposed by and has been implemented in Internet Explorer ever since ie 5, the thing is IE still rely on open Type (.eot) format which is no other browsers decided to use. then here comes True type (.ttf) which comply majority of the browsers(not to mention safari supports both type format (.ttf and .otf) in their pages haha…)

enough said… here’s how we do it

Okay, each form of the font family must be declared using the @font-face syntax; for example, i want to use “Calibri” as my global font, I should place it on my CSS stylesheet this way:


@font-face {
font-family: ‘Calibri’;
src: url(‘font/Calibri.eot’) format(‘eot’),
url(‘font/Calibri.ttf’) format(‘truetype’);
}

as you can see I placed those font on a “font” directory. if you place those font formats somewhere else, just change the directory.
this –> ‘font/Calibri.eot’ to be change with –> ‘-directory-/Calibri.eot’ (do the same with ttf)

Then on your CSS stylesheet call it using font-family:

h1,h2,h3,h4 {
font-family: ‘Calibri’;
/** and more elements here **/
font-size:2.3em;
font-weight:bold;
/** etc **/
}

p {
font-family: ‘Calibri’;
/** and more elements here **/
font-size:1.3em;
font-weight:bold;
/** etc **/
}

Note: some fonts don’t have their open type (.eot) formats so here’s a link than may help you convert those (.ttf) to (.eot) formats. http://ttf2eot.sebastiankippe.com/

wholla! that’s it :D hope it help… enjoy

mayanglawin…

An enthusiastic amateur who builds rapport with her camera, always ready to capture good images and craves to learn more techniques on photography.
lives in the Philippines, a wanderer and a backpacker. enjoys travelling, experiencing nature, and mingling with other cultures. captures images of everything that her eyes find wonderful and anything that triggers emotion. also makes concept photos to shout her mind out. Full time user of a point and shoot camera. Photo-walks and travelling is an outlet for her in experimenting with point and shoot cameras. Thus proving that owning just a point and shoot camera is not a limitation in taking good photos.

mayanglawin sample works

Below are some samples of her great shots… more photos may be seen in her facebook photography fan page, subscribe, like & comment. Click here to connect with her on Facebook

Strawberry dart:

inspired by the Beatles’ song strawberry fields forever. there is nothing more to describe this photo but a verse from the song: “let me take you down, cause I’m going to, strawberry fields, nothing is real, and nothing to get hung about, strawberry fields forever.”


Dragonfly:

went for an afternoon walk at the park. dropped by the ruins and everything is tranquil. even this dragon fly sits still on his leaf.


Rain:

a walk after the rain. I love afternoon summer rains, cause after raining, the sun shines brightly and reflects earth’s color at its finest, and that gives me joy and hope for better days.


Logs :



Puno(tree) :

there was a tree, the finest tree that I ever did see, and the tree was on the ground where the green grass grow all around.


I just love how this kawayan (bamboo) ladder :

rests on this great red wall, and parts of the white window peep. this color gives me so much energy


Mountains at Nagsasa

A cove in zambales, philippines, a perfect get way place for isolation and reflection and a good time to realize how great and marvelous our God is.


Paths

if you know the way to go, and you keep on walking on the right path, you’ll get to the place you want to be. if you are tired, rest, don’t quit.


Fisherman

give a man a fish and you feed him today, teach a man how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime


Innocence is bliss

Child’s laughter is always genuine.

What Clients should consider when it comes to Demands for a Web Designer and for a designer to look at, to weigh their worth. Clients have different characteristics & demands, but before they demand for something, they might want to consider looking at the diagram…

A designer is very important in our web industry and theirs no doubt about that. but sometimes web designers are under paid by some companies(they may be applauded with amount full of good words or motivational thoughts but still gets a small amount in their pockets.) so how can we change our ways on making our designers happy and ways for them to love your company in which they can be loyal and consider your company home…

Make sure demands are equivalent with the price.

A. Cheap Cost + Attractive/Responsive and Beautiful Design = Slow Design Output
—> clients can’t demand designers to finish it fast and attractive when the price is not even right (it will just make your designers, demotivated and unresponsive with creativity because of pressure and expectations, be insensitive at times and try to weigh if you might be pushing so much. If you do push that much you might see your designers leaving the office without any notice.)

—> designers: speak out if you need more time, tell them how you feel and let them listen and why? and if you need an increase with their demands you might want to tell your clients as well.

B. Attractive/Responsive and Beautiful Design + Fast Design Output = Expensive Cost
—> clients please prepare an amount full of cash to make this work, creative juices from a designer are hard to squeeze under pressure without a good price in their pockets, if clients are willing to do this they’ll be shock that designers are pleased to work extra hours to meet the deadline and see them energized like they drunk a whole liter or RedBull, and for sure if you pay them right they will love you and stay loyal..

—> designers, if clients meet this requirements, show them what it’s worth, be motivated, don’t take it for granted, work extra hours if needed, meet deadlines and treasure it.

C. Cheap Cost + Fast Design Output = Ugly Design
—-> clients please don’t expect it to be beautiful/attractive and very responsive since it’s a rush work, rush works are nearly a trash design, unless if the designer is a super star that delivers it like a pro(but still I doubt if the designer might take your project since he/she might know his/her worth in the first place.) clients might get a mediocre design that may lead clients reaction to ”
hmmm… okay that will do..” (please no more buts, you’ll just turn relationship uglier with your designer.)

—> designers: speak out if you need more time to make it more attractive, tell them how you feel and let them listen and why? and if you need an increase with their demands you might want to tell your clients as well. (same with A)

D. attractive and beautiful design + fast design output + cheap cost = impossible & rare designer might do this

—> what clients dreamed of…
—> designers worst nightmare…

Hope this article would help clients understand web designers and designers vice versa.

Ever dreamed of taking gaming into the next level, like putting yourself on the actual game, with immersive stereoscopic 3D Rendering, a huge field view(that can actually give you a feeling that you are stepping on the real gaming world), and low latency tracking? Bad news; there’s nothing out there on the market? wait for it… YET! Good News : Oculus Rift are the first makers of this virtual reality headset.

Oculus Rift would like to deploy a lot of starter kits to developers, for them to be involved in the process on meeting its maximum potential. One key factor that Oculus Rift would like to involve in, is putting a bridge between average consumers to the product, where consumers can buy these virtual headsets on a fair price without loosing that awesome virtual experience.

If you’re a Doom, Quake gamer, isn’t it fun to have that virtual experience? A lot of games today have that sort of feeling (director’s view kind of thing)because they would like the gamers to be stepping in the actual game. But without virtual reality? you’ll be asking yourself, “i think it’s not a real deal, there something missing.” that is why we should support these Oculus Rift project to be out on the market, not only that the prototypes gives you immense possibilities it’s a start of experiencing the real thing because that is what its all about right?…

Watch this video and be blown away

A scoop from Oculus Rift Kickstarter

Step inside your favorite game

Oculus Rift is a new virtual reality (VR) headset designed specifically for video games that will change the way you think about gaming forever. With an incredibly wide field of view, high resolution display, and ultra-low latency head tracking, the Rift provides a truly immersive experience that allows you to step inside your favorite game and explore new worlds like never before.

We’re here raising money on Kickstarter to build development kits of the Rift, so we can get them into the hands of developers faster. Kickstarter has proven to be an amazing platform for accelerating big and small ideas alike. We hope you share our excitement about virtual reality, the Rift, and the future of gaming. — Oculus Rift –

One level when I am browsing about graphical art over the net is innovation by the core or imagination taking place where concepts are boost into knew ones, I found this awesome artist while googling “the avengers”, I am really inspired by his art when he turned modern classic characters into an era like it was way way long ago or we might say medieval age… enjoy theDURRRRIAN interpretation of “The Avengers”

Below are the Masterpieces, I think you can name the characters, just by looking at it

Awesome huh? more of his artworks here.

Good News, independent game developers, programmers, designers, hackers, console chronic gamers & programmers/gamers a like, a new open source console game platform on TV will be sitting right through our palm soon, even though backing them up on kickstarter had not ended yet, OUYA generated great responds and reviews from critics, medias and masses, and don’t get this wrong they surely surpassed the target fund for the project, over 480+% more that the expected and they totally deserve it.

I’m a console gamer as well, and it’s pain in the guts to see a lot of money being spend for consoles out on the market today(not to mention expensive game CD’s..), OUYA made a huge step not just giving gamers the freedom on what they play or what they can do about gaming, they also care about peoples pocket(come on FREE Games? wohoo!), Kudos to the makers and all people involved in this project, i can’t wait to have fun with it… possibilities for this box is so open to all sort of fun, improvement, innovation and so on.. Go on and Share it..

A lot of Designers and Developers like I, is really frustrated with browser compatibility, Do you agree? sometimes it even give us headaches just to solve those issues, not to mention old school browsers(Ouch!) but eventually right now it’s been part of our Tech-lives and hopefully obsolete browsers just need to say good bye to make our lives easier hahaha…

But we are not talking about solving that headaches absolutely(maybe half of it), this web based application that we are going to talk about helped me in many ways today and hoping will help you too. have you ever tried an app that only shows you screenshots of the screen when testing, without enabling you to see the errors and all? or even change the resolution? i’ve tried some of those and made me crazy. :D

introducing: Browser Stack

Live Web-Based Cross Browser Testing
“Instant access to all browsers across platforms. Forget clumsy virtual machine & mobile setup. Save time & money.” the website gives you 30 minutes to try it out.

Screen Shot :


the only thing that i observe, is that the loading time seems a little slow but it’s totally bearable. but overall there’s more Pro’s on it. and one thing that stands out about the functionality of this tool, is that you can test it in your localhost, how cool is that right? :D what do you think guys? :D Enjoy..
