![]() You can start from the desktop or from the smartphone, Sparkle will produce optimal code in any case. There is no need to follow a specific path when designing a Sparkle website. I think that’s what was referring to, and it’s mostly about how the output website will be coded and will perform. Hi a specific meaning to “mobile first”, which I discussed in my reply above. That’s how this idea started … and I was wondering if building the mobile version first would be easier for me. So I guess I have to re-imagine everything without loosing the original feel of the website. Right now I have no idea how to make a mobile version out of this website without altering the design completely. But the website also clearly shows its (iWeb)-age. ![]() ![]() It’s the website for a stage actor, so it’s kind of fitting. Most people like the playful, theatrical look of the website. The design of one of these websites is rather complex with many images and elements, kind of playfully “scattered all over the place”. “Very old” meaning: built with iWeb and no mobile layout. I have some very old websites that I have to transfer to Sparkle in the coming months. I am so used to the workflow “desktop to smartphone”: designing for desktop, having all that space available – so I was wondering if the design process and the result would be different the other way around, and if that would trigger a new kind of creative “thinking”. So yes, I agree, the desktop version and the mobile version of a website have to have the same content and the same look and feel, so visitors know that they are on the same page, no matter the device they use.Įach version (desktop or mobile) of a website should have the same attention to detail and be the best possible, optimised version for that screen size. English is not my first language and sometimes I struggle to find the “right” words.ĭesigning a website for smartphones first should not mean that the desktop version is neglected or treated as subordinate. I feel that my remarks may not have been clear enough. ![]() This is really terrible and should be avoided at all you all for your answers. Some sites offer completely different content, or have major omissions in one layout or the other. It’s about treating a viewer with any device in the same way. Responsiveness means adapting the layout but providing the same content. If you think that smartphone->desktop is a more effective workflow to adaptation than desktop->smartphone, that’s perfectly reasonable. In Sparkle you can start from the desktop or the smartphone layout, the site will still be optimized. develop broadband-sized assets, like non-responsive imagesĪ lazy developer is lazy, so at some point in the 2010s, “mobile first” became an excuse to ignore the desktop side of things, or to provide a lame desktop experience with a scaled up mobile site or little more.develop desktop-based interactions, for example mouse hover, or download and re-uploading a file.create a desktop layout that was really hard/annoying to adapt to mobile, leading to a substandard or nonexistent mobile experience.Not thinking of mobile first would lead a web coder to: “Mobile first” was an important framing of how to develop a website in the mind of web coders, circa 2011? I wonder, how do other Sparkle users handle this? Do you mostly start with the desktop version? Providing a good mobile version of a website is crucial, I think most of us will agree on that. I think mobile websites are the future, because there are clearly more phones in use than desktop computers and tablets. Since I’m so used to designing for large desktop sizes, I guess it would be an inspiring challenge to do it differently and to start “small”. Meaning: First I design the mobile version of the website and then scale it up … and thereby shifting the main focus of the design from desktop to mobile. So I’m wondering if I should try it the other way around, when I start working on new website projects this year. Up until now I’ve always designed websites for the desktop first and then scaled them down for mobile screens and rearranged the content accordingly. Whenever I do research about web design and trends, I read more and more about mobile-first web design and that this is the way to go for web design.

![]() "The Clown" would often slip from Max's eye and go on an adventure, pull a prank on his creator. Aside from the novelty of the Rotoscoped animation, this series combined live-action and animation centered on Max Fleischer as the creative cartoonist and "Master" of "The Clown". ![]() Bray Studios, and in 1918 they began Out of the Inkwell as an entry in the Bray Pictograph Screen Magazine released through Paramount (1918), and later Goldwyn (1919-1921). Bray, he was hired as production manager for John R. īecause of the realistic effects displayed in his sample films, the result of Fleischer's Rotoscope, and a past relationship with John R. A 1922 sheet music drawing makes the connection more explicit, saying "Out of the Inkwell, the New Yama Yama Clown", with a picture of Koko. Both costumes have white gloves with long fingers, white foot coverings, and a hat with the same white pom-pom as in front. The white face with slit eyes was a design common among German circus clowns. Dave's clown costume was clearly inspired by one worn by Bessie McCoy, with the additions of a black ruffled collar replacing the big white bow, three pom-pom front buttons, and a prominent cone-shaped cap also with three pom-poms. "The Clown"'s appearance owes much to The Yama Yama Man. After tracing the film footage amounting to some 2,500 drawings and a year's work, the character that would eventually become Koko the Clown was born, although he did not have a name until 1924. Fleischer filmed his brother Dave in a clown costume. The use of the clown character came after two previous tests and a search for an original character. The character originated when Max Fleischer invented the rotoscope, a device that allowed for animation to be more lifelike by tracing motion picture footage of human movement. Throughout the series, he goes on many adventures with his canine companion "Fitz the Dog", who would later evolve into Bimbo in the Betty Boop cartoons. He first appeared as the main protagonist in Out of the Inkwell (1918–1929), a major animated series of the silent era.

In this article, we’ll show you 5 different ways to use NordVPN with Roku. Also, check out our article about the best VPNs for Roku if you’re curious to see what other VPNs can be used to unblock Roku.

Put a creature in the grave *and* draw cards. One card that kind of fits everything you really want is ]. Make sure you have plenty of ways to increase your resources, and get plain card draw to make sure you still have card advantage when you're looting. Be careful however to not treat this always as card draw, as your essentially tossing 4 cards for 1. Teferi, Master of Time is pretty great for this, and someone else mentioned Tortured Existence, that card is incredible. You're going to want any cards that will let you loot. Pretty much every other venture card, though, I wouldn't worry about keeping your deck. Acererak is not bad to just have as a pay 3 and venture, but I've opted to not include him. Midnight Pathlighter is great, as well as Radiant Solar. ![]() Barrowin of Clan Undurr kind of makes sense. I've been working on a Sefris list for a while, and I haven't gotten it down to exactly where I want quite yet, but I can share some insights.Ī lot of the adventure cards can help, but from what I can tell, you don't need most of them. I find decks have a lot more staying-power for my interest if they have weird deck building stipulations, and Sefris hit that on the head. The most enjoyable thing I found with building Sefris was finding creature-based alternatives to various needs (like ] in place of ]). The lessons I’ve learned with her have been to make sure any noncreature spell is valuable enough to really be worth running over another creature to loot or reanimate (mostly just things that can get multiple triggers efficiently, like ] or ]), and to avoid big splashy creatures that are just removal lightning rods with no immediate value, because there are better commanders for just reanimating Praetors and Angels. Sefris, in my experience, is all about outlasting and outvaluing over time with consistent dungeon and reanimation value, so you value trigger consistency rather than explosiveness. Things like Strionic Resonator are, in my opinion, inferior to just running more cards that can trigger her at instant speed, because they don’t do anything on their own, are open to removal, and aren’t usually creatures. I also do run a half dozen or so actual venture cards, because they’re the better way to accelerate Sefris’s timetable and get reanimation a little faster while still being creatures that play into her other strategies-things like ] and ] work as both enablers and good reanimation targets. ![]() Finally, I do also run some sacrifice cards, mostly either very powerful ones like ] or ones that can sacrifice themselves on others’ turns like ] or ]. I also run cycling creatures that do something when cycled, or that benefit from looting like ]. I’d say overall I focus on looting, and as a consequence my deck has an outrageous number of creatures (56 atm) to make triggering Sefris with looting as consistent as possible. We often seen 2+ boardwipes per game, and games mostly end around turns 10-12. We disallow infinite combos, and our threat assessment meta consistently gangs up on decks that win early or explosively, leading to something of a battlecruiser meta but while still running lots of efficient removal. If you want to see the full deck list, check out the Moxfield page.As a disclaimer, I’d rate my group’s power level at around a 5. I think this deck takes elements of the red/white artifact 'Voltron' decks and the green/white Populate decks and combines them to make something interesting and new to go with the new Venture mechanic! Outside of decks focused on heavy rule-setting ('staxx') or lifegain, white does struggle on its own. Mono-white is infamously Commander's trickiest color identity. ![]() Swap out Swords to Plowshares and Path to Exile for something like an Angelic Ascension, Dispatch or Chained to the Rocks – they get the job done, but aren't as flexible as the go-to choices. You could also reduce the quality of the removal (after all, white is allegedly the color of removal). It powers two different infinite blink combos, so removing it means you'll have to find ways to manually blink Nadaar each time for a slower win. If your table plays slower games, the best way to bring this deck down a touch is to remove Felidar Guardian. Akroma's Will is perfect for this, as you'll either have a lot of tokens ready to take out the whole table, or at least have enough buffs on your original Nadaar from your token copies that it can potentially deal lethal Commander damage in one attack. Focus on making as many copies of Nadaar as you can, and then go wild with the attacking. Assuming you're not wanting to win with infinite Ventures, the other way to win is pretty simply Nadaars Go Smash. ![]() Photoshop alternatives Are there any good alternatives to Photoshop? It offers a variety of brushes and tools for creating different strokes and artistic effects. Photoshop is popularly used by artists and illustrators to create paintings, drawings and concept art, in both 2D and 3D. It's also commonly used to create and lay out print materials, such as magazines, brochures, and posters. ![]() Photoshop is commonly used to create a range of graphics for the web, such as logos, icons and website backgrounds. These include everything from basic tasks such as cropping, resizing, and adjusting brightness, contrast, and colour, through to the creation of artistic and sophisticated effects by combining and altering different elements within an image. But most creative people will mainly use it for three broad tasks. Photoshop has so many features that it's difficult to sum up in one sentence. (Image credit: Adobe) What can you do with Photoshop? Hobbyists will find a lot to like in its powerful toolset, especially the latest AI features, which allow you to make big changes to your photos, such as removing people and objects, at the press of a button. That said, you don't have to be a professional, or even an aspiring one, to use Photoshop. These include graphic designers, photographers, illustrators, motion designers, UX/UI designers, animators, film-makers, digital artists, architects, fashion designers, product designers, 3D artists, social media managers and marketing professionals. We recommend Photoshop for anyone seeking to edit images, create graphics or produce designs on a computer or iPad. For more details, check out our latest Photoshop review. In short, there really is something for every kind of creative here, and every kind of digital creative task. In 2023, Photoshop has even added its generative AI tool Firefly into the mix, so you can create full-blown illustrations just by typing a text prompt. Our reviewer of the latest version also liked the support that Photoshop offers, with text prompts and very short videos to walk you through the workflows. And that means that complicated tasks that used to take hours, such as removing objects from images, can now be done in a single click. But at the same time, Adobe is continually adding new AI features. The sophistication of some of its features might put off beginners, as it means there's a learning curve involved.
