I've implemented my new knowledge into a new art website with full background images.
I've also used some brand new technology in places, which you might notice if you use a modern browser, or if you know front-end coding. Please check it out and comment on my brief blog post about where we are now. I'd like to hear from others.
http://lynnschirmer.com/The bit I left out was, who's going to coalesce all the new changes, and all others not yet delineated, into a universally usable OS?
Anyone who guesses will make herself very, very wealthy. That's what I surmise anyway.
Hi, PW. Your site has gotta be the new elegance for viewing on hand held devices. I really like your touch to beauty with the feel of floating. I remember seeing your site a few years back, and I always wondered, ‘How does she DO that?!’
Like I’m an artist .
I’ve read through what I think is your entire site twice during the last few days, and I got inspired to pull over to this thread a shot of the home page. What I’ve enjoyed are the not-squarish paper images with shadow. Sorry, I don’t have better words to describe those features. Oh, I know. The corners of the paper are slightly bent, so the corners are not 90 degree angles. That touch is what I love!
When the beautiful and what I thought were elegant websites began to be template replaced with big and little squares and rectangles displaying this and that, I threw my hands in the air! I just didn’t like what was happening to web design: all corporate minded, and now you say, machine languaged design. Oh well. Mind you, I’m not a geek; I only love to see pretty things and orderliness on the screen. And, you’ve put better on the screen than I can properly describe.
While reading the site and clicking here and there, I found some links that might need your attention, if you’ve not already noted them.
All good things to you and
those closest to you—
and of course your projects!
~ A.
