Literary Spring Designs is the blog for Literary Spring. I added “Designs” because although the main site covers a variety of material this blog is primarily focused on design.
What programs and scripts do you use for your designs?
I use Photoshop for most of my graphic design work. The fractals are made with Apophysis and Fractal Explorer. A few of my older resources on the main domain were made using Paint Shop Pro 9. The web design has been done primarily using Photoshop, Notepad++, and Notepad. As shown in the footer, this blog uses WordPress and the theme is a child theme of Thematic combined with various tweaks. Some of these tweaks are listed on WordPress Resources. Resources unrelated to WordPress can be found on the main site (Graphic Design Resources, Web Design Links (non-Blogs), and Tech Blogs and Magazines.)
Accessibility
This site has been tested with using Browsershots for cross-browser functionality. It works with Firefox, Safari, Opera, Flock, and Internet Explorer 6 and over. The xhtml and css has been validates except for a small amount of css3 which is an enhancement rather than a necessity for viewing this blog. The site has also been checked for users who are colorbind and it should be readable and navigable. The header is clickable and will take you back to the main page.
About Rebecca
Rebecca has a Master’s degree in library and information science. Her studies concentrated on information retrieval, issues relating technology and the internet, and educating people about the uses of technology for personal and professional research. She has been working with web design for over 10 years and started learning fractal art in 2006.
Rebecca has a particular interest in and experience with accessibility and usability issues. She believes it is important to have a good understanding of design principles, but also be willing to make adjustments as needed. Beauty matters, but part of beauty is the functionality of the design.
Rebecca is a supporter of the open-source community and of Creative Commons. Most of the resources on Literary Spring use Creative Commons Licenses. She is very thankful for the designers and programmers whose tutorials and resources have helped her learn web and graphic design. In return she has made many resources available for others to use for their own education and projects.
She is also the proud human of a playful dog and has a knack for remembering film dialogue.
