I’m not a web designer, yet Chris’ video about “a modern web designer’s
workflow” is still interesting and…actually entertaining. He’s a great
presenter.
More and more is expected from today’s web designers. Visual design is just
one small part of the job. Those designs also need interaction. They need
to work across loads of devices of varying shapes and sizes. They need to
be fast and easy to use. As a designer, you need to be able to communicate
and share code across a team. You need to be familiar with lots of
differnet technologies.
I would recommend not starting the design with Photoshop but with
low-fidelity prototypes. When you do low-fidelity prototypes, you get to
ignore the things that you will spend hours “finicking” with like colours,
shapes, appearance; it allows you to focus on layout. Even more important
is understanding the content; your content should dictate the layout, so
content first. Sure, skip to the browser soon, but that’s during the stages
of the high-fidelity prototypes. Just my two cents.
Chris Coyier is one heck of a web designer and i’m not just saying that
because i’m a “HUGE” Coyier fan-girl. ANYWHO …….. I thought I would
share a talk on Chris Coyiers “A Modern Web Designer’s Workflow” with nerdy
aspects. Enjoy!
Very very helpful. Its so nice to hear other web designers say wireframes
are not that important, and start off with a design in PS but don’t get too
fussy and jump in to building the code… I’ve been watching all this new
stuff coming along and thinking I don’t have time for this, working out
which preprocessor to learn and testing for… validating for… yada yada
yada. Just get on with it and get the best tools for the job. I’m
downloading CodeKit right now 🙂 Thanks Chris, if we ever meet the beer’s
on me!
Awesome talk. I learned a couple of things, and I really enjoy Chris
Coyier’s enthusiasm. Just a tip for people who ran into problems with
color variables: I use them like this.
Now, it’s easy to keep your theme consistent. It will be easy to change
your theme later, and it is easy to keep track of the colors you use. Hope
that helps someone out there.

That’s a lot of cocaine.

Thank you very much.
Web Designer’s Workflow with manish shrimal
Annoying way of talking. My attention span isn’t that short that I need him
dancing around yelling.
Awesome talk. I learned a couple of things, and I really enjoy Chris
Coyier’s enthusiasm. Just a tip for people who ran into problems with
color variables: I use them like this.
$blue: #03D;
but later, I will do something like this
$main-color: $blue;
$main-color-light: lighten($blue, 10%);
Now, it’s easy to keep your theme consistent. It will be easy to change
your theme later, and it is easy to keep track of the colors you use. Hope

this guy is amazing!
this is a great talk, but now i’m even more pleasantly surprised that even
at 2x speed everything is clear ^^
