Still, the world of web design is not only for the artistically talented. There are in fact quite a lot of programmer-like rules for web design. Rules that are structured, scientific, much like coding conventions. Rules that you as a programmer can apply universally, rules that make your design look good.In this article, I will point out a few of these rules. Welcome to the scientific approach of web design.

On the Web, vertical rhythm – the spacing and arrangement of text as the reader descends the page – is contributed to by three factors: font size, line height and margin or padding. All of these factors must calculated with care in order that the rhythm is maintained.
We can apply the same principles of proportion and balance to the type within those columns by borrowing another technique from our print brethren: the baseline grid.

How do you make a gradient in InDesign (cs2 or 3) that (for example), goes from black to transparent? I know it's really easy in Photoshop, but I can't for the life of me how to do it in InDesign!
Blue Velvet, that does work...but it is touch and go on different presses. But, here is the cool thing...this is a new feature of CS3. Go to Object > Effects > Gradient Feather. Boom! you've got a gradient that will go from one color to transparent, crazy huh? Just fill the object the color you want it to be, and the effect tell is where to be transparent at. and best of all, you can change it at any time.

Photography lost its innocence not long after it was born. As early as the 1860s photos were already being manipulated—only a few decades after Joseph Nicéphore Niépce created the first photograph in 1826. With the advent of high-resolution digital cameras, powerful personal computers and sophisticated photo-editing software, the manipulation of digital images has proliferated. Here, I have collected some examples of tampering throughout photography's over 180-year history.
Although a field that is often overlooked by bibliophiles and historians of printing and typography, several of the most important contributors to twentieth century book and letter arts have made significant contributions to the design of the seemingly modest postage stamp. All of the celebrated designers listed to the left have considered the specific concerns of philatelic design. Eric Gill, although only responsible for one design marking the reign of George VI, had (as one might expect) exacting and pointed opinions about stamp design, and carried out a lengthy public debate on the matter in the pages of the Times. Jan van Krimpen and his Enschedé colleague S.L. Hartz, designed hundreds of stamps for the Netherlands and her colonies. These, and the hundreds of examples by the above designers, are an unexplored resource of tremendous lettering and calligraphy which also provide exceptional insights into how these designers worked and solved problems.
