Good for Good’s Sake. A recent post on Drawar criticizing some designers’ reaction to Gap’s new brand seemed so off-base to me I have to respond. While Scrivs makes some good points about the redesign’s intentions, one paragraph stood out to me: Summer 2010. DESIGN TIP: NEVER USE BLACK BY IAN STORM TAYLOR The black from my Path photo had 69%! saturation, whereas a light-gray might only need 3%. I’ve used that as a general guide when making the color palette for Segment. I mix a small amount of yellow-orange into our grays. Saturation starts at 2% for our lightest gray and steadily increases until it’s at 22% for the darkest gray, formingan
WEBADVISOR SIMPLIFIED BY IAN STORM TAYLOR As designers we are constantly bothered by all of the poorly designed things around us. We can whine about the worst offenders to friends, but by now they’ve learned to filter our complaints. WALKING THROUGH THE DESIGN PROCESS BY IAN STORM TAYLOR I was rummaging through my drafts folder and stumbled on this old post walking through the process of designing the “Goals” feature on our old product, before we switched to what Segment is now. I think it’s an interesting look into how a mockup progresses in Photoshop,so here it is:
OOCSS + SASS = THE BEST WAY TO WRITE CSS BY IAN STORM TAYLOR OOCSS + Sass = The Best Way to Write CSS. October 14, 2012. Object-oriented CSS is awesome. But littering your markup with non-semantic classes is not awesome. Those classes sprinkled all over your HTML are going to change, and that’s not gonna be fun. But if you combine OOCSS and Sass you get the best of both worlds: modularCSS without
ASSIGNING BACKBONE SUBVIEWS MADE EVEN CLEANER BY IAN STORM After my post about rendering subviews in Backbone.js, Tim Branyen asked me if I had taken a look at Layout Manager because it aims to solve a lot of the problems that crop up with managing complex application layouts. I’ll be honest, I had seen it referenced a bunch but hadn’t really delved into the source. But there’s some cool stuff in there. MEDIA QUERIES ARE A HACK BY IAN STORM TAYLOR Media Queries are a Hack. April 1, 2013. The big buzzwords in CSS these days are “modular” and “responsive”—and for good reasons. But we’re still trying to achieve those goals with the wrong tool: Media Queries.

BACKBONE.JS CONFIGURATION LOGIC SHOULD BE EXTENDABLE BY Backbone’s flexible design makes it really easy to structure apps any way you see fit.
