Been tinkering on this for a while now, should probably make it official... Introducing Friction, a fast and flexible 2D motion graphics application for Linux and Windows.
I’m Tyler Sticka, a designer and creative director. I co-own Cloud Four, a small but mighty #WebDesign and #WebDev company. I do a lot of my design in the browser, and I frequently write about #CSS, #SVG and #ResponsiveDesign.
I’m also occassionally a #GameDev (Ramps was briefly an early App Store hit) and #Artist / #Cartoonist (I love to draw).
Had a great time in the #TactileArt room here at #NFB23 yesterday. Doing the same thing again today, teaching #TactileDrawing and holding an #SVG coding class at 6pm in Room 344 in the Hilton Americas. Come learn a fun way to illustrate in a non-visual way! #Blind#BlindArt#a11y
If you are attending #NFB23 in Houston and would love to learn #SVG coding as a non-visual way to build #TactileGraphics and #TactileArt, come swing by the tactile art and picture book Room (Hilto Americas Room 344), on July 1st and 2nd from 6pm-7pm CT! I'll be teaching a crash course for us #Blind creatives and anyone else interested. Will be going over tips and tricks that I also have up on BlindSVG.com and go over bestpractices. Bring a laptop and let's create together!
Really enjoyed this presentation from the PenPot Fest about interactive svgs. Never thought svgs were so powerful. And definitely inspiring to see what I can create!
What can be achieved with it: irregularly shaped elements with borders with simple code & without using children or pseudos (for example for a thumb on a range, which can have neither). Like in the last image.
I just launched a new site devoted to teaching how to create #TactileArt and #TactileGraphics using #SVG code. The focus is on #accessibility and opening up creativity to #blind and #low-vision folks who want to participate in building graphics, iterate on ideas, and use SVG for projects ready for embosser, swell-form, 3D print, and CriCut output. Come check it out! https://blindSVG.com
I don't know if it's just a Firefox thing, but I'm going to have to go back over my recent projects to make sure I inline some SVG styles. I frequently get a Flash Of Unstyled Content that's a massive SVG logo or something.
I couldn't find my paper copy of PostScript Language Tutorial & Cookbook (“Blue Book”), but I remembered that Adobe used to have it on their developer website for free. With a bit of digging on the Wayback machine, I found the original PDF from 1994, so it's now up on Internet Archive: https://archive.org/details/PSBlueBook
#PostScript is a programming language like no other, and its graphics primitives formed the model for #SVG.
Go back and skip borders in Sketch, instead using "offset" on the font outline path to create a new shape which can be put behind the font outline to visually produce a border
(For good measure, "Layer > Combine > Merge" on new border path)
📘 EPUB 3.3 is a distribution and interchange format for digital publications and documents. It enables the representation, packaging, and encoding of structured and semantically enhanced web content, including #HTML, #CSS, #SVG, and more, in a single-file container
