Experimenting with a new parallax header for this site using CSS transform to achieve a non Javascript solution. I also added some flying bird animations to sit between Z-plane layers for some extra fun.
I found a screen shot of the first client site I ever worked on back in the 90s. It was tiny! Things have definitely changed. I'd go as far to say we now have to design 50x times more pixels to create a website.
How to steer clients through the design process from start to finish whilst getting useful input along the way.
Yet again rebuilding my site, this time dumping one Static site engine for another.
Waves Audio released a new product called Nx – Virtual Mix Room at this year’s NAMM show in California. To be honest, this product took me a little by surprise. It’s one of those plugins that initially looked a bit boring until I read a little more and saw it in action.

Co-what tools? I hear you ask. Ok, so I invented that word to categorise software such as Webflow, Adobe Reflow and Macaw (not available yet) as I didn't know what to collectively call them. These new tools, and more like them, are slowly edging their way into the web designers' world
Embracing the static web generator over the traditional database driven approach.
A few occasions where I have made disclosure mistakes things that either didn't cross my mind at the time as being a problem or I simply thought were too trivial to worry about.
Driving in Delhi, an art and a nightmare.
If you're getting on a bit in the design world, have no fear - there are lots of advantages to getting the better of those youthful whipper-snappers.
If you need to start ideas flowing with a group of non designers whilst warming things up a little, give this a try.
