It’s Here! Meet “Art Direction For The Web,” A New Smashing Book

In contrast to the world of print design, our creative process has often been constrained by what is possible with our limited tools. It also has been made more difficult by the unique challenges of designing for the web, such as ensuring that our sites cater well to a diverse range of devices and browsers.

Now, the web isn’t print of course, and we can’t take concepts from sturdy print and apply them blindly to the fluid web. However, we can study the once uncharted territory of layout, type treatment and composition that print designers have skillfully and meticulously conquered, and explore which lessons from print we could bring to our web experiences today.

We can do that by looking at our work through the lens of art direction, a strategy for achieving more compelling, enchanting and engaging experiences. With the advent of front-end technologies such as Flexbox, CSS Grid and Shapes, our creative shackles can come off. It’s time to explore what it actually means.

About The Book

Art Direction For The Web exists because we wanted to explore how we could break out of soulless, generic experiences on the web. It isn’t a book about trends, nor is it a book about design patterns or “ready-to-use”-solutions for your work. No, it’s about original compositions, unexpected layouts and critical design thinking. It’s about how to use technical possibilities we have today to their fullest extent to create something that stands out.

Our new book explores how we can apply lessons learned from print design to the fluid and unpredictable web. That's a book that will make you think, explore and bypass boundaries and conventions. (Image credit: Marc Thiele) (Large preview)

It’s a book for designers and front-end developers; a book that’s supposed to make you think, explore and bypass boundaries and conventions, to try out something new — while keeping accessibility and usability a priority.

To achieve this, the book applies the concept of art direction — a staple of print design for over a hundred years — to examine a new approach to designing for the web starting from the story you want to tell with your design and building to a finished product that perfectly suits your brand.

Of course, the eBook is free of charge for Smashing Members, and Members save off the regular price, too.

Written by Andy Clarke. Reviewed by Rachel Andrew. Foreword by Trent Walton. Published in April 2019.

Table Of Contents

The possibilities of art direction on the web go far beyond responsive images. The book explores how to create art-directed experiences with modern front-end techniques.

The book includes 12 chapters, covering type treatment, composition, layout and grid — and most pages are art directed as well. (Image credit: Marc Thiele) (Large preview)

1. What Art Direction Means

Ask what art direction means to developers, and they might answer: using the picture element or sizes attribute in HTML for responsive images; presenting alternative crops, orientations, or sizes at various screen sizes. But there’s more to it.

2.One Hundred Years Of Art Direction

Bradley, Brodovitch, Brody, and Feitler — together, their names sound like a Mad Men-era advertising agency. In this chapter, we’ll take a look at their iconic works, from the 1930’s to the 1980’s.

3. Art-Directing Experiences

Whether we write fact or fiction, sell or make products, the way to engage people, create desire, make them happy, and encourage them to stay that way, is by creating narratives. So what do we need to consider when doing so?

4. Art Direction And Creative Teams

Let’s take a look at how we can embrace collaboration and form teams who follow strategies built around common goals.

5. Principles Of Design

Are the principles which have guided design in other media for generations relevant to the world of digital products and websites? Of course! In this chapter, we’ll explore the principles of symmetry, asymmetry, ratios, and scale.

6. Directing Grids

Grids have a long and varied history in design, from the earliest books, through movements like constructivism right up to the present-day popularity of grids in frameworks like Bootstrap and material design. This chapter explains grid anatomy and terminology and how to use modular and compound grids.

7. Directing Type

White space, typographic scale, and creative uses of type are the focus in this chapter.

8. Directing Pictures

Images and how we display them have an enormous impact on how people perceive our designs, whether that be on a commercial or editorial website, or inside a product. In this chapter, you’ll learn how to position and arrange images to direct the eye.

9. Developing Layouts With CSS Grids

CSS Grid plus thoughtful, art-directed content offers us the best chance yet of making websites which are better at communicating with our audiences. In this chapter, Andy explains properties and techniques which are most appropriate for art direction.

10. Developing Components With Flexbox

While Grid is ideal for implementing art-directed layouts, Flexbox is often better suited to developing molecules and organisms such as navigation links, images, captions, search inputs, and buttons. This chapter explores how to make use of it.

11. Developing Typography

From multi-column layout and arranging type with writing modes to text orientation and decorative typography, this chapter dives deep into the code side of type.

12. Developing With Images

How do you fit your art-directed images to a user’s viewport? And what do CSS shapes and paths have in store for your design? Let’s find out in this final chapter.

In his book, Andy shows the importance and effectiveness of designs which reinforce the message of their content, how to use design elements to effectively convey a message and evoke emotion, and how to use the very latest web technologies to make beautifully art directed websites a reality. It goes beyond the theory to teach you techniques which you can use every day and will change the way you approach design for the web.

The book is illustrated with examples of classic art direction from adverts and magazines from innovative art directors like Alexey Brodovitch, Bea Feitler, and Neville Brody. It also features modern examples of art direction on the web from sites like ProPublica, as well as an evocative fictitious brand which demonstrates the principles being taught.

Part 1, “Explaining Art Direction”

Art Direction for the Web begins by introducing the concept of art direction, its history, and how it is as relevant to modern web design as it ever been in other media. In Part 1, “Explaining Art Direction”, Andy shows you how to start thinking about all aspects of your design through the lens of art direction.

You will learn how design can evoke emotion, influence our subconscious perception of what we are reading, and leave a lasting impression on us. You will also learn the history of art direction, beginning with the earliest examples as a central component of magazine design and showing how the core philosophies of art direction persist through an incredible range of visual styles and ensure that the design always feels appropriate to the content.

We can't control the shape of users’ browsers, but the principles of symmetry and asymmetry are relevant for every screen size. Chapter 5 includes dives deep into principles of great design. (Image credit: Marc Thiele) (Large preview)

As art direction is often about ensuring the visual design fits the narrative of your content, this section will also give you the practical skills to identify the stories behind your projects, even when they appear hard to uncover.

Finally, this part will teach you that art direction is a process that we can all be involved with, no matter our role in our projects. Strong brand values communicated through codified principles ensure that everyone on your team speaks with the same voice to reinforce your brand’s messaging through art direction.

Part 2, “Designing For Art Direction”

In Part 2, “Designing For Art Direction,” covers how to use design elements and layout to achieve visual effects which complement your content. You will learn principles of design such as balance, symmetry, contrast and scale to help you understand the design fundamentals from which art direction is based. You will also learn how to create interesting and unique layouts using advanced grid systems with uneven columns, compound and stacked grids, and modular grids.

It’s important to understand the impact negative space can make. Chapter 7 focusses on white space, typographic scale, and creative uses of type. (Image credit: Marc Thiele) (Large preview)

This book also covers how to use typography creatively to craft the voice with which your brand will speak. In addition to a study on how to create readable and attractive body text, this section also explores how to be truly expressive with type to make beautiful headings, stand-firsts, drop-caps, quotes, and numerals.

You will also learn how to make full of use of images in your designs — even while the dimensions of the page change — to create impactful designs that lead the eye into your content and keep your readers engaged.

Part 3, “Developing For Art Direction”

The final part of Art Direction for the Web, “Developing For Art Direction,” teaches you the latest web design tools to unshackle your creativity and help you start applying what you have learned to your own projects.

You will learn how to use CSS Grid to create interesting responsive layouts and how Flexbox can be used to design elements which wrap, scale and deform to fit their containers.

Images have an enormous impact on how our customers perceive our designs. Chapter 8 covers grids and how you can use them for more than merely aligning content to the edges of columns. (Image credit: Marc Thiele) (Large preview)

This third part will also explore how to use CSS columns, transforms, and CSS Grid to create beautiful typography. You will also learn how viewport units, background-size, object-position, and CSS shapes can create engaging images that are tailored for every device or window width.

Throughout the book, Andy has showcased how art direction can be applied to any design project, whether you are designing for a magazine, a store front, or a digital product.

Testimonials

“On the web, art direction has been a dream deferred. “The medium wasn’t meant for that,’ we said. We told ourselves screens and browsers are too unreliable, pages too shape-shifty, production schedules too merciless to let us give our readers and users the kind of thoughtful art directional experiences they crave. But no longer. Andy Clarke’s “Art Direction for the Web” should usher in a new age of creative web design.” — Jeffrey Zeldman, Creative Director at Automattic

(Image credit: Marc Thiele) (Large preview)

“Andy shows how art direction can elevate your website to a new level through a positive experience, and how to execute these design principles and techniques into your designs. This book is filled with tons of well-explained practical examples using the most up-to-date CSS technologies. It’ll spin your brain towards more creative thinking and give your pages a soul.” — Veerle Pieters, Belgian graphic/web designer

Load any HTML with Self-Closing Tags & Convert It to Excel File inside Android Apps

What’s new in this release?

Aspose development team is pleased to announce the new release of Aspose.Cells for Android via Java 18.12. Depiction of data through HTML page is very common, however this page can be opened in variety of devices including mobiles, tabs and other hand held devices which contain small screens. The size of the columns is defined in “pt” which works in many cases. However there can be case where this fixed size may not be required. For example if container panel width is 600px where this HTML page is being displayed. In this case users may get horizontal scrollbar if the generated table width is bigger. This requirement is addressed by providing scalable units like em or percent for a better presentation. Empty tags are very common while working with HTML like we can face <td></td> or simply <td/>. Earlier self-closing tags were not supported however now this support is provided. Now users can load any HTML with self-closing tags and convert it to Excel file. Named regions can have English formulae and this file can be used in environments where systems are configured to German Locale. There is need to translate these English formulae completely to German language for correct usage in Excel configured for German language. This feature is fully functional and can be used without any extra coding. Excel provides custom filters like filter rows which begins with and ends with some specific string. Aspose.Cells provides rich features to manage shapes in the spreadsheet. Sometimes there is needed to get the connection points of a shape for aligning or placing the shapes at appropriate place. For this purpose all the connection points are required. Pivot tables are very common reports which are present in the workbooks. These reports are updated time by time and it is important to know the last time when report was updated for better decision making. Aspose.Cells has provided this feature by introducing property RefreshDate. Similarly name of the person who updated the pivot table is also provided as property RefreshedByWho. Smart art is used for better representation of information however earlier the text in the smart art shapes was fixed. This limitation is gone now as now smart art text can be updated. For this purpose shape.setText() function is introduced which sets new text in the smart art shape. Data validation is done in variety of ways to control the input in the Excel file. Like limit can be defined for a cell within which some number can be entered, otherwise error message is raised. Issues were faced for validation of large numbers like 12345678901 etc. in the past but now this much large numbers are supported by Aspose.Cells. Aspose.Cells has introduced rendering active worksheet in a workbook to SVG. For this purpose load an Excel file into workbook object and set the active sheet index like for Sheet2, set index to 1. Then save the Workbook as SVG which will render active worksheet to SVG. Workbook can have multiple sheets which are rendered as multiple tab pages when converted to HTML using Excel. Similarly if a workbook contains single sheet, it shows one tab page when converted to HTML using Excel. This conversion was working fine for multiple sheets while using Aspose.Cells. However for single sheet workbook, there was no tab page and only HTML file was created without creating the separate folder containing CSS. Now Aspose.Cells has enhanced its library to create similar output for single sheet workbooks as compared to output created by Excel. In complex Excel files (XLSM/XSLB) there can be large amount of macros which can be very very long. Many times there is a need to load the workbooks without loading these VBA projects like just extracting the sheet names from loaded workbook. In this case we need a filter which can load VBA projects in when they are actually required. This time Aspose.Cells has introduced a filter option LoadDataFilterOptions.VBA which can be used for this purpose. Textbox is very common control which can be used in a worksheet. This is not necessary that text in the textbox is fixed. It may have tags which can be replaced with some text at runtime. It helps users to configure the controls as per the data on the sheet or from some other source. Worksheet.replace can be used for this purpose and textbox can be set with the desired text. It can convert worksheet to HTML but rendering entire sheet at once may not be required always. Users may require just a selected area of the sheet to be rendered to HTML. Worksheets contain page setup where print area can be set. A worksheet can have different types of validations including dropdown. There can be a need where user may want to detect the type of validation and take some decision based on this information. This release includes plenty of improved features and bug fixes as listed below

Change returned value for getting Connection points

Provide ability to export range as HTML

Data bars are missing when XLSX is converted to HTML

Value still exists when XLSX is converted to HTML

Convert left right ribbon shape to image

User css isn’t enough to protect against harmful site css.

I am strobe-sensitive and motion-sensitive.

I need to protect myself against flashing, blinking, pulsing, the Firefox tab throbber, jitter, zooming, marquee, auto-scrolling, smart-scrolling, side-scrolling, carousel, certain rotating, metronome, etc. animation, and against sticky elements animating, changing shape, popping up, swooping in from one side, etc. when I try to scroll, and against fixed backgrounds and position: sticky and many position: fixed elements causing visual conflict and sheer between scrolling and non-scrolling elements. Of course there has to be an edge, but I have to move that as far from my focus as possible. Otherwise I can get migraines, nausea, vomiting, drop falls, etc.

Anyway, I can use about:config and userChrome.css to fix some of the browser issues in Waterfox. (I used to use Firefox, but lost my installation to an accident with Nightly and haven’t found safe instructions to safely configure a new installation so it’s safe. I got badly hurt last time because I used image.animation_mode false instead of image.animation_mode none.) But I can’t use userContent.css the same way because each website uses its own names fr its attack elements, and I have to add new code for all these names.

I am not a programmer, I am open to suggestions so I don’t get hurt. I have included many of these sggestions into the following css but would like a solution which works across all pages:

(I also have a lot of user styles which I haven’t integrated into this. I can’t possible read Tumblr without some of the anti-animation tools.)

/* Global UI font */ * { font-family: Andika !important; } * { font-size: 16pt !important; } * { text-shadow:none !important; }

/* block some transitions */

@-moz-document domain("transadvocate.com"), domain("threadreaderapp.com") {

* { transform: none!important; animation: none!important; transition: none!important; }

}

/* Block Sticky I */

The Shapes of CSS

CSS is capable of making all sorts of shapes. Squares and rectangles are easy, as they are the natural shapes of the web. Add a width and height and you have the exact size rectangle you need. Add border-radius and you can round that shape, and enough of it you can turn those rectangles into circles and ovals.

We also get the ::before and ::after psuedo elements in CSS, which give us the potential of two more shapes we can add to the original element. By getting clever with positioning, transforming, and many other tricks, we can make lots of shapes in CSS with only a single HTML element.

Bullet Points in Excel: 6 Easy Methods (+Download)

No matter if you use Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Outlook or OneNote: You can easily insert bullet points and created bullet point lists. In Excel you can’t. But there are some simple workarounds. In this article, you learn 6 methods for bullet points in Excel.

Introduction

Like said in the introduction, there is no very smooth way to create bullet point lists in Excel. Either the methods require several steps or the result just doesn’t look very nice. In this article, you learn 6 methods of inserting bullets in Excel – either directly into the Excel cell or to a text box. In the summary section of this article, you can download all 6 methods in a comprehensive Excel workbook.

Methods

Method 1: Alt + 7, Alt + 9 or Alt + 0149

Insert the bullet symbol with the keyboard shortcut Alt + 7 (on the number pad).

The first method is usually also the fastest: Insert the bullet symbol with a keyboard shortcut. In order to achieve this, enter a cell (for example by pressing F2 on the keyboard) and press Alt + 7 on the number pad.

Use Alt + 7 for the “normal” bullets •.

Press Alt + 9 for empty bullets ○.

Use Alt + 0149 for “normal” bullets •.

Please note:

The keyboard shortcut only works with the number pad. Not with the number keys above the normal letter keys.

Press and hold the Alt key while pressing the number keys consecutively.

Text cells with line breaks don’t look very nice because the second line doesn’t have the same indentation as the first line.

As you can see on the screenshot above, you can also have several bullets within one cell. Add line breaks by pressing Alt + Enter on the keyboard.

Method 2: Insert the bullet symbol from “Symbols”

Insert a bullet character from the “Symbol” feature in Excel.

The second method is quite similar to our first method above. But instead of using a keyboard shortcut, you manually insert the bullet character.

Click on “Symbol” on the right-hand side of the “Insert” ribbon.

Select the character you’d like to use as the bullet symbol.

Press Insert.

�� Please note:

Instead of the conventional bullets, you could also insert any other type, for example empty bullets, square bullets or empty square bullets for to-do lists.

Like with method 1 above, multi-line texts don’t look very well because the text has no indentation.

Method 3: Copy and paste the bullet character (from here)

This method is again very similar to methods 1 and 2 above. Instead of inserting bullet character with a keyboard shortcut or from the “Symbol” menu, you could just copy and paste it from there. Please feel free to copy any of the characters below.

• ● ◦ ▪ □ ♥ ─ − → ►

Method 4: Use a custom number format

Use a custom number format in order to create a bullet point list.

If you don’t want to insert the bullet character for every cell again you could just define a custom number format which adds the bullet character automatically.

In order to achieve this, select a cell or a cell range and press Ctrl + 1 on the keyboard.

Go to the “Number” tab and select “Custom” on the left-hand side.

Write

• @

into the field for “Type”.

Confirm with “OK”.

Please note:

You can copy and paste this format using the “Format Painter”.

If you want to know more about custom number format, please refer to our comprehensive guide.

Method 5: Add an additional column

Use an additional column for inserting bullet points.

The fifth method for inserting bullet points usually looks most tidy. The idea is to insert an additional column containing the bullets. Please take a look at the example on the right-hand side.

Column B contains the bullet points whereas column C contains the text cells without any bullet symbols. Please refer to the methods 1 to 3 in order to insert a bullet symbol.

The formatting of column B is

Align top.

Align right.

Remove the border between columns B and C.

Please note:

This method is especially nice if your text cells have line breaks.

Setting up an additional column usually takes a little more work than the other methods mentioned above.

Method 6: Bullets in text boxes and charts

You can add bullets to text boxes in Excel easily.

If you don’t want to add bullet points inside an Excel cell but to a text box in Excel instead, you can use the built-in function.

Insert a text box either into your chart or the worksheet itself. In order to achieve this, click on “Insert” and then “Shapes”. Select the text box and draw it onto the screen.

Right click into the new text box.

Click on “Bullets”. If you want to change the type of bullets, click on the small right arrow.

That’s it. Now you can start typing your text.
