Adidas has always been my favorite brand for sportswear. I got the shoes, the shorts, the t-shirts and even the ball. It also became my favorite commercial during the 2006 World Cup.
After many hours of developing, video editing and encoding, I can finally share my little application with the world. The idea is to display video in sync with slides. Some similar solutions exist but I wanted more control over the presentation and of course, some more practice with AS3 and MXML.
So here are the slides from the last PHP Quebec monthly meeting on PHP & Access (French only). I only had the time to encode one of the two presentations. You’ll notice that it’s not perfectly cut: I simply had an hour of battery for 3 hours of presentations. The rest is coming soon.
Constructive criticism is welcome.
It has sometimes been hard for me to get ideas for color combinations to use in my designs. I tried using kuler, a mini-community for swatches by Adobe. It’s just combinations of up to 5 colors that people post and rate. The idea is great, the interface is quite friendly, but it lacks the practicality that I was hoping for. It’s pretty hard to imagine the appearance of my design with the colored rectangles that appear on the site.
Still, I would recommend it for people who would like to find some interesting color matches. If you’re using Adobe software, it’s even easier, because you can download the .ase file and use it directly.
I was looking for some 3D models for one of my projects. I came across a great site named TurboSquid, a vast repository of 3D-related resources such as models and materials. It took some time to find the quality I was looking for, since there seem to be no acceptance criteria on this site. It’s unfortunate that so few models are jointed and that the search capabilities are somewhat limited. The prices are very good though.
Here is a photo-realistic example:
It’s so perfect that it’s hard to believe that it’s not a photo. Now I just need to buy a better computer for the monster raytracing…
We all know that different browsers display our CSS differently. What are the major differences? Here is what I found from my own experience (often the hard way):
There are tons of other differences that you can add to this list. I solve most of my layout problems with one or two tables for the most complex parts, thus saving myself hours of debugging and tweaking.
P.S.: use lists instead of tables for your horizontal menus (for god’s sake!)
