29m	comment	What does “Ratio Of Headline to Body Font Size” mean "Tim brown says that we should multiply the body text by the golden ratio" = gag
20h	comment	How to create a transparent stroke or outline around a vector shape? I think Photoshop is the wrong tool for what you are doing here. I think a vector illustration tools is perhaps going to be easier for this.
May 17	comment	What hardware do I need to work with very large 300dpi illustrator files? also, if you're not manipulating the JPGs in illustrator, you should be able to just place low-res previews in AI while you are working and then have them swap in the high res at prepress.
May 17	comment	What hardware do I need to work with very large 300dpi illustrator files? 1GB? That seems excessively large for even that large dimension of an image. That said, are you sure you need them at that dpi?
May 16	comment	When I create an arrow in Sketch and enlarge it, the tail bursts out of the arrow @Matt_2.0 it's not autodesk: bohemiancoding.com/sketch
May 16	comment	When I create an arrow in Sketch and enlarge it, the tail bursts out of the arrow @joonas your point is valid (Sketch is not widely used), that said, I've seen plenty of Inkscape and Gimp answers here.
May 16	comment	Is ampersand allowed at the beginning of line? This is all true, though in the context of the web, we often have to let flexibility (ie, responsiveness) trump exact typographic rules of thumbs.
May 15	comment	What real advantages do web templates such as Bootstrap or HTML5 boilerplate have for a designer? See my answer. :)
May 15	comment	What license do I need for a font, which is used as a base for commercial icon font? Are you saying that you want to modify an existing font, but then add your own custom ligatures to it and re-release?
May 13	comment	Never use white? I suppose you'd have to ask Ian Taylor given that it seems to be his theory.
May 13	answered	What is the exact role/relationship of photoshop in web design?
May 13	comment	What is the exact role/relationship of photoshop in web design? "Plus interactivity, and adaption to more devices". Right. But these are not small parts of the web. They are arguably the major parts. And there's plenty of other reasons we don't just upload PSDs as wsb pages as well - site maintenance, theming, content authoring, accessibility, increased flexibility, etc.
May 12	comment	What is the exact role/relationship of photoshop in web design? Assuming people use HTML and CSS is only for search engines and file download speeds is to grossly misunderstood the medium of the web.
May 10	comment	Typesetting acceptance of spacing slashes? Kerning is the correct answer in print, where I'm the one typesetting. Alas, this is web, where I, for better or worse, rarely am the one actually formatting the HTML content. In fact, being able to kern a particular character is likely impossible in the corporate web dev workflow :(
May 10	comment	Typesetting acceptance of spacing slashes? Interesting point about file path and/or URLs. Perhaps that is an argument TO add the space when working in the context of web sites, where you are going to also see a lot of URLs and not want spaces there.
May 10	comment	Typesetting acceptance of spacing slashes? Good point on the slight variance in potential meaning. It's subtle, and sometimes not that important, but good to know. I do like the thinspace. Alas, getting content authors and developers to adhere to that kind of detail has been proven hard to police in my experience, so am trying to keep the 'rule' simple as possible.

May 10	comment	What is the roundabout file size of a 1m x 2m pdf? There is no 'ballpark' file size for a pdf based on its printed dimensions. Is that file too big? Only the printer creating the poster can tell you that.
May 10	comment	Is there a visual web editor based on bootstrap? No one has yet invented the magical WYSIWYG visual editor that makes usable HTML yet.
May 9	comment	Why do some logos look.. old? How does design age? @IlmariKaronen I like that phrase. "sufficient brand presence can overcome the fashion effect." Well stated!
