This week\u2019s Mash Up<\/a> is a short one with only seven articles and several bonus articles attached to the listed articles. The mash up includes articles I found helpful or interesting. As the title says, I found some great articles in design, CSS3 and two great inspirational articles. Both of them are worth checking out. One is about matte painting and the other is about silhouette photography.<\/p>\n

Design<\/h3>\n

The 3 stages of design maturity<\/a>
\n“Whether you\u2019ve been designing for 10 minutes or 10 years, there\u2019s much to be learned and figured out. Depending on your path with design, some things will vary, but for the most part, there are three main stages of realizations\/characteristics most designers go through.”<\/em>
\nWhy Designers Should Take Up Photography<\/a>
\n“Certain aspects of photography lends itself so well to design work that it might make you wonder why it isn\u2019t on the list of must-have design skills. Actually, a lot of art and design schools do include a photography component in their programs, and I can see why: because it helps.”<\/em><\/p>\n

6 Important Stages of Developing a Creative Design Idea!<\/a><\/p>\n

“Most clients consider graphic designers<\/strong><\/a> to be magicians who can come up with creative ideas with a swish of their wands. But the reality is otherwise. Thinking of an original design idea isn\u2019t magic that can be whipped up in a matter of seconds. It entails an entire and elaborative procedure of transporting the idea from the designer\u2019s brain to its final end-result. <\/em><\/p>\n

But the hardest part for a graphic designer is to explain their creative process to <\/em>bad type of clients<\/em><\/strong><\/a> or project managers. Even though designers go through the entire process, still they cannot put in words the feelings attached with the entire endeavor. So how does a creative design idea reach to its final destination? Today, we analyze the different stages through which a graphic designer goes in order to develop a brilliant design idea.”<\/em><\/p>\n

CSS3<\/h3>\n

CSS3 Flexible Box Layout Explained<\/a>
\n“The flexible box layout module?\u2014?or \u201cflexbox,\u201d to use its popular nickname?\u2014?is an interesting part of the W3C Working Draft. The flexbox specification<\/strong> is still a draft and subject to change, so keep your eyes on the W3C, but it is part of a new arsenal of properties that will revolutionize how we lay out pages. At least it will be when cross-browser support catches up.<\/em><\/p>\n

In the meantime, we can experiment with flexbox and even use it on production websites where fallbacks will still render the page correctly. It may be a little while until we consider it as mainstream as, say,border-radius<\/code>, but our job is to investigate new technologies and use them where possible. That said, when it comes to something as fundamental as page layout, we need to tread carefully.”<\/em><\/p>\n
