Transcending CSS

Transcending CSS
Packages from Amazon are regular occurrence here at the Third North studio. My latest selection was an inspiring paperback by Andy Clarke, the UK based designer responsible for the always stimulating commentary of And all that Malarkey.

Transcending CSS: The Fine Art of Web Design is not just a book about code, nor is it just a book about design theory; instead it is a conceptual hybrid of the two. Andy Clarke fuses code with concept, and then illustrates their fusion with beautiful, real world, examples and screen shots.

As Andy mentions early on, this book is not for CSS beginners, and web designers not familiar with CSS selectors and properties will probably find themselves a bit lost during many of the examples. However, for those of you comfortable with the language and syntax of CSS, this book should be a permanent addition to your web design bookshelf.

Introducing Team Sport Technologies

Things have been pretty quiet on Evolution since September.

But we’re back! And although it may have seemed as if we dropped off the face of the earth during November, December and January- we were in fact, hiding out at the studio for days on end, putting the finishing touches on a suite of sports specific web applications that we are ecstatic to introduce today! These applications can be found at the new Team Sport Technologies website.

As previous posts have pointed out, development and design of Version 2 of our Puck Systems web application product was our primary focus for a majority of 2006. As the Puck Systems Version 2 project progressed, our clients made it remarkably clear that the tools we were developing for hockey organizations were needed for other sports organizations as well.

We took this to heart and took the Version 2 project one step further… creating a multi-sport organization management and communication platform unparalleled in the industry. From that day forward “V2″ became “Team Sport Technologies”. It may have taken us a bit longer, but the result is well worth it.

Take a look at what we’ve been up to, and drop us a line if you get a chance.
