https://hacks.mozilla.org – One of the best new features of HTML5 when it comes to visual effects is the canvas element and its API. On the surface, it doesn’t look like much – just a rectangle in the page you can paint on and wipe. Much like an etch-a-sketch. However, the ability to transform, rotate and scale its coordinate system is very powerful indeed once you master it. Today I want to quickly show how you can do (well simulate) something rather complex with it, like a calculated drop shadow on an element. To see what I mean with this, check out the following demo which is also available on the Demo Studio:

From skills-based products to online consulting, the world of design goes far beyond the field of Design itself; it extends into disciplines such as online retailing and marketing — two of the most lucrative forces on the web. Many designers have moved from working for clients and employers (often at a pay grade that isn’t quite as high as it deserves to be) to working for themselves. In the process, they’ve also created a range of enduring online properties, major e-commerce stores, and worthwhile online products.

http://sixrevisions.com – If you’re building a website for a client or yourself that requires a number of images to be presented in a gallery format — for example, if you’re a web designer, photographer, sculptor, painter or graphic designer — Drupal has some out-of-the-box solutions to help you organize and present your information. Professionals who work on a visual medium often need help presenting (and possibly monetizing) their work, and an online gallery is a great way to do this. Perhaps you could also make the images available as physical products or digital downloads in an online store as an added option. This guide will show you how to develop a portfolio/image gallery website using the popular content management system, Drupal.

http://wordpress.org – If you’ve ever heard Matt Mullenweg talk about the early days of WordPress, the South by Southwest (SxSW) Interactive festival that takes place each spring in Austin, TX usually crops up in the story. South by Southwest is in full swing right now, and WordPress has been all over the place. On Friday the 11th, Matt was interviewed by John Battelle of Federated Media in front of a packed ballroom, talking about the future of WordPress. That night, the annual SxSW WordPress BBQ party played host to hundreds of WordPress users, developers, and businesspeople, and attendees got an extra treat this year in the form of a t-shirt made especially to commemorate WordPress and its Texas roots.
