Hey r/noiserock, what's your favorite noise rock album? by m1r0k0vin noiserock

[–]leapyquacky 1 point2 points ago

Gonna have to go with Flux Information Sciences - Private/Public.

Directly inspired by the cacophonous rhythms and sounds of industrial machinery in New York City.

This album is just absolute fucking madness, and there's nothing else like it.

"Path to Employment" Critique on my friend's reverse resume? by BukkitBossin web_design

[–]leapyquacky 0 points1 point ago

It's an interesting concept, but you're seriously sacrificing the readability of your content with nauseating transitions. If you're going to stick with the scrollPath approach, I'd suggest making it feel more like a monorail and less like a rollercoaster.

The last thing I want my content doing is backflips.

r/web_design, I came across this brilliantly designed site on Entertainment. They bitched about it out there. Thought you would appreciate this more. Sorry, if this is a re-post. by itssynecdochein web_design

[–]leapyquacky 1 point2 points ago

It looks great, but functions terribly. It forces you to scroll in such a precise manner (in order to read the text) that only the most stubbornly patient users will get through all of it.

Hey, just wanted to let you know I updated the Stylebot theme and added a few things! Check it out if you're interested: http://stylebot.me/styles/1175

annoying question by KlausCinin web_design

[–]leapyquacky 1 point2 points ago

Start with HTML and CSS. I can't stress enough that getting your hands dirty with code is the best and quickest way to learn. Don't use a program that writes your code for you, because you will have no idea what's going on behind the scenes.

  • Start simple: Create a home page for something you're interested in (band, hobby, etc) with a logo, navigation, some text, a photo, and a footer.
  • Create some additional pages with different content and link to those from your first page.
  • Rinse, wash, repeat.

Seriously, do this over and over again, and don't spend too much time on refining anything, because you're going to make a ton of mistakes along the way.

I'll say it again: You're going to make a ton of mistakes. It's a good thing. It means you're learning.

When you figure out how to do something, make a note of how you did it, save a code snippet, bookmark a tutorial, whatever it takes to remember it. Chances are you're going to need to do it again in the future, and chances are you're going to forget how you did it.

I could use a little help making a footer divisor with CSS and HTML by Urik88in web_design

[–]leapyquacky 6 points7 points ago

As x-skeww pointed out, you are inventing tags that don't exist, and that's going to cause you a ton of headache.

Take a look at the HTML5 page elements. When you define a new block section that isn't part of this list, use a div and assign it an ID or class. If it's an inline element, use span and do the same.

I'd also recommend straying away from using HTML elements that are purely presentational (e.g. footer_border). Use CSS for this. Your HTML should describe the structure and purpose of your content, not how it looks.

As is, you can change <footer_title> to <div class="footer_title"> and use the following CSS:

.footer_title {
  width: 200px;
  margin: -10px auto 0;
  text-align: center;
  background: #fff;
}

First draft of my blog/portfolio site. Any feedback and thoughts appreciated. by leapyquackyin design_critiques

This is awesome feedback, man. I'm going to work these into my next draft. I really appreciate it.

Go here and click the "Install Style in Stylebot" button towards the top right (next to the CSS button). If you have Stylebot installed already, it will automatically add the CSS for you.

That's it! Let me know if that works for you.

Portfolio Redesign, Please be harsh! by DJDYNOBOTin design_critiques

[–]leapyquacky 0 points1 point ago

I'm mostly going to address the image slider, since I think it needs the most work:

  • "Hey, my name is Paul. I hope you like my site." I get what you're going for here, but it comes off as not very confident in your work.

  • "Click on the icons above to view my online portfolio." That's like giving someone the keys to a car and saying "Put the key in the ignition and turn it to start the car." You shouldn't have to explain to someone how to navigate your site. It should be immediately apparent.

  • "I also like dinosaurs." Once again, I get what you're going for, but this is irrelevant to your work and what you're trying to communicate, and it's taking up the most space on the page. I'd save something like this for the About page.

  • The social media links are distracting from your logo and work thumbnails. Make them small and possibly move them to the footer.

I need some thoughts on my design. Making it as a gift to my girl. She loves to take pictures. Please don't be to harsh. by olebroomin web_design

[–]leapyquacky 2 points3 points ago

Good start! A few things:

  • The squares next to your navigation links look like checkboxes and could potentially confuse users. I would remove them or use something else like an arrow.
  • The stitch dashes look too thick, and IMO the stitched look is overdone.
  • The logo feels a bit busy with all those circles. Try simplifying it to 1 or 2 circles and maybe try playing with the negative space.
  • The "Abstrakt", "Naturbilder", "Studio" category names are difficult to read like that. Make them horizontal and above each section.
  • I like the 3-dimensional feel of the left and right hand sides, but it feels confusing to my eye. Is one of the sections supposed to appear above the other depth-wise? If so, I'd try to accentuate that more with color, borders, shadows, etc.

OK Reddit, what's the craziest or most unexpected thing you did or witnessed at SXSW this year? by mangoesmangoesin SXSW

[–]leapyquacky 1 point2 points ago

Favorite part of the show was when Dan said:

DORITOS COOL RANCH A-WHAAAAATTT!

FUCK THAT NACHO CHEESE SHIIIITTTTTT!

Those words were like sweet, sweet poetry sprinkled upon an interestingly-shaped mass of whole corn.

I love that guy.

Rockets come back from 9 down with 2:20 left to beat the Thunder in OKC by leapyquackyin nba

Yeah, it really was. Dragic was all over him at the end and Russ just lost his composure and was making silly mistakes. Props to Drag: I love that guy.

[–]leapyquacky 4 points5 points ago

Are people really upvoting this? You can't beat a top team giving 50% effort in the second half. The Knicks could have won this game if they wanted it bad enough. I don't know if I would feel good about this loss.
