Day 013 : HTML5

Leave a comment

So! A lot has happened since starting this project… Flash version 10.1+ was released (on all platforms including mobile), JQuery became the industry standard and Html5 was brought to the limelight by Steve jobs who is touting it as the "future of the internet".

Day 004 : Vertical Rythmn and Typography

Leave a comment

Now that we have a basic layout, with boxes for all the relevent sections, it is time to start laying in content and styling it.
