No sense going back and forth and no ill will was intended. I hope it helps people that are still making their way up the totem pole :) Note - we may be working with different screen resolutions, so if you print it out, please scale up (or down) the ruler to have it make sense with your screen resolution. I’ve attached it below for those who feel they can benefit from internalizing these general dimensions. I can look at that and have a sense that I may want margins of 20 or 50 or whatever. I broke down and made a ruler that I printed out based on my screen resolution.
#Pixelstick dimensions trial#
This is funny / timely as the other day, while working on a website I was getting tired of the trial and error of not having much of a sense of what my margin dimensions actually looked like - I don’t have much of a frame of reference for pixel size the way I can estimate in inches or mm. Some of will measure, in a way that we understand, until we find we don’t need to anymore. I have tendency to do the same thing - I’ve been a design professor for 27 years hearing myself, semester after semester, year after year, saying the same thing, over and over… at a certain point it seems like the simplest thing in the world and there was a period where I started to think that students were just getting dumber and dumber (we can use another post to discuss millennials and post-millennials, lol) but it was me turning into the crotchety, angry, un-empathetic teachers that I sometimes had. I’m also working under the assumption that you came to this first as a developer / coder than a graphic designer. I think the real issue is that with all of your expertise and experience, you may have forgotten what it’s like to be a beginner.
That was the initial attraction to RapidWeaver for many if not most of us - wysiwyg / drag and drop / templates etc.
#Pixelstick dimensions software#
I’m also new enough that I’m concentrating on the ins and outs of the software and web design in general it doesn’t make sense to burden myself with code while trying to get a handle on these other other things. Well that’s fine - although I’m new enough that I looked at your screenshot and had no idea how you got to where you did. It never ceases to amaze me when this question is asked how people use extra apps or complex workflows when the browser has it all built in with just 2 clicks.
