2009 Semi-Permanent Canadian Club Open Brief

// February 9th, 2009 // No Comments » // General

canadian-club1Canadian Club in conjunction with Semi-Permanent is inviting up-and-coming designers to invent – and reinvent – clever promotional items. The sort of stuff you get given in the pub for free or things you can win in a competition. Check out the Gallery for a general idea of what we are looking for.

The competition is simple and without hidden agenda. Instead of asking a great big promotional agency to come up with ideas, we are challenging new designers to let their imaginations run wild. The Open Brief is about designers receiving credit for items that will be taken to the production level.

.htaccess tricks

// January 21st, 2009 // No Comments » // General

Tips and tricks for using a .htaccess file on a Unix or Linux server running Apache.

What is the .htaccess file?

It’s a text file which normally resides in your main site directory and/or in any subdirectory of your main directory. There can be just one, there can be a separate one in each directory or you may find or create one just in a specific directory.

Any commands in a .htaccess file will affect both the directory it is in and any subdirectories of that directory. Thus if you have just one, in your main directory, it will affect your whole site. If you place one in a subdirectory it will affect all the contents of that directory.

A loading ImageOk, so you’ve seen it all before, this tutorial is nothing new, but it does bring a new way of making your site look dynamic, whilst still being accessible.

Whilst working on a recent job, I was stuck with the dilemma of needing header images to replace the < h1> tag, which were still accessible. No probs i thought, there’s plenty of tutorials online.

This is a very neat solution, that overcomes this problem, very simply.
