CSS-Round Corners Box

Having to create a round corner box isnt fun. It can be a picky and irratating procedure if not done right.

Doing it in CSS with the view to making the box smart, isnt brain surgery but its a long enough process that if you where to sit down and think about it, write about it, explain it and educate someone else as to the process would end up being a pretty complicated issue.

Fortunately someone has actually bothered to do it.

Check out:

CSS – Single Image Fluid/Fixed Rounded Bordered Corners walkthrough.

Remember, once its done its done. I might be doing an edit of this to loose the drop shadow so that the box can be replaced with a gradient or single tone colour background then package up the PSD, CSS and html page together for lucky beggars to download…

Will keep you posted.

Managing Clients while Designing a Stop Sign

How many of us have encountered this problem.

A brief is submitted, understood (even if its bureaucratically insane as in the example from this video) and the perfect solution is created… and then the “client” gets involved in the process and trys to become the designer.

Enjoy this video because if design is your profession then you will most certainly encounter occasions such as this. The hard part, I find, is convincing clients that less is more in most cases and that clutter and changes to what is a perfectly good concept or design take it away from what its ment to achieve or whatever message is to be conveyed.

Dont let clients walk over you as is the case here, the suggestions become petty and dont actually add up to achieveing any goal, put the foot down and tell them YOUR opinion as you are the professional at the end of the day.
