shadow redesign from orangebutton, a weblog by George Girton

shadow redesign . . . . . apr 15 2003 — ob44.dat

We have nearly finished our least-noticed website redesign: the appearance has hardly changed. By changing a line in a RubyJournal template and adding a line of Ruby, each permanent link in the weblog now has its own file, its own title, and its own new location.

Sensing your high level of interest, let me push onward. The whole thing reminds me of Ben Willmore's exhortations in chapter 11 of his great book, Photoshop 7.0 Studio Techniques [buy at amazon] . (by Ben Willmore).

Chapter 11 is about shadows: how to create them, how to separate them, how to enhance them. How do you know if you have done a great job with the shadow portion of your photograph? One clue is that no one notices. It's so sad, but the shadow masters are never recognized; with shadows, no one ever says "Hey, bub! Nice shadows in that photo!"

Please say nothing.
