Posted to FLOR Rebrand by Firebelly, in reply to Christoph O , Oct 27, 2016 Posted to FLOR Rebrand by Firebelly, Oct 26, 2016 Posted to Show DN: Font Showcase with Flickity, Sep 12, 2016 Just having fun with Metafizzy's Flickity plugin. Definitely not the most efficient way to view the characters of a font, but still kind of fun to scroll through (you can flick through it or if you've given focus to the carousel then you can type a letter on the keyboard and it will jump to that letter), and see the different weights/styles. Adding the light/dark theme and lines as options was fun too!
Posted to Make a calculator using Javascript and CSS3, May 09, 2016 Or you could do it in just CSS!

It's ridiculous though, don't do it.
Posted to Things to keep in mind while creating and designing a new website, May 09, 2016 Dang, this site has one of the most obtrusive "sign up for our newsletter" popups ever (hard to tell from the screenshot but it fills the entire viewport):
I don't even care what the article says after being slapped in the face with that honestly, I just close the tab.
Posted to Ask DN: What mouse do you use?, in reply to Joe Windeknecht , Apr 14, 2016 Same! I love it!
Posted to Men of DesignerNews, Apr 07, 2016 The comment thread for this site just doubled the amount of posts on the site. :(
Posted to Critique our Landing Page, Mar 09, 2016 David Darnes comments are on point, agree on all fronts. I would add a few small things:
- Give that feedback modal some breathing room (padding)! http://d.pr/i/W5K5
- The
#infoitems could really use some breathing room too, a little bit helps: http://d.pr/i/3RTD - That follow button at the bottom is scrunched up with the text above it too: http://d.pr/i/12ZiG
Well I guess all of my feedback is related to padding, haha. Things just feel unnecessarily tight in certain areas, it will probably help to space them out vertically a bit. Other than that I think it looks good!
Posted to Typeforce 7 Open for Submissions, in reply to Nir Benita , Dec 05, 2015 Right? Designed by Nick Adam, built by me (eeek, still have some bugs to work out!)
Posted to Typeforce 7 Open for Submissions, in reply to Daniel Golden , Dec 04, 2015 Sorry, some context: Typeforce is an annual exhibition of type-related art/design in Chicago, IL.
Every year, curators Ed Marzsewski & Dawn Hancock select 20+ installations to be exhibited in Chicago’s Typeforce exhibition. Historically, these works have comprised some of the best type or lettering-based art being created by emerging artists and designers in our city and beyond.
Check out some of the past years list of exhibitors:
- CSS only Icon Set (cssicon.space)
- @supports will change your life (lottejackson.com)
- Anyways — Adventurous and Meaningful Creativity for Brands (anyways.co)
- Windows93 (windows93.net)
- Show DN: Looking for creative criticism for my portfolio (projects.invisionapp.com)
- Ask DN: Can we please get rid of the utm_source from links?
- Paper Planes (paperplanes.world)
- A web developer's guide to building muscle (julian.com)
- Land Book - The homeland for fine websites (land-book.com)

Thanks! A lot of work went into this! Glad you enjoy it!
