Portfolio

Contrast-O-Vision

A tool that highlights edges with sufficient contrast on a real web page. WCAG 2.0 AA compliant… eventually.

Writing

Inherently responsive SVGs

These SVG images have built-in responsive behavior that could be reproduced with CSS, but with an important difference: they work out-of-the-box with any CMS’s built-in uploader. The advantage of loose coupling, I think.

Icon Eyecatch
Equivalent to background-size and -position.
Billboard-backing
Slap it on a heading of any size; it can take it. The icon can be switched out on the fly and the border will automatically mask around.
Stretchy header
Distorts to fill container, but remains crisp at any aspect.
Masking patterns
Mask out arbitrary shapes from complex backgrounds, even in IE9.
Repeating sections
Who needs multiple backgrounds?

Putting the “Web” in Webcomics

Webcomics are published as monolithic <img> tags. We can do better.

Putting the “Web” in Webcomics Tech Demo The man is a simple, black-and-white depiction, with only eyes drawn on his face. His attire suggests a tuxedo to complement his top hat. He is also wearing a black bow tie. He takes off his hat by just bending his elbow. Between the two panels, his eyes change from a smiling squint to a respectful downturn.
