Pixel Perfect
- jhg 17y agoIt's clearly an overkill, but gotta admire the approach.
- DarkShikari 17y agoKind of loses its touch when it's downscaled badly, resulting in ugly aliasing along the diagonal line in the actual resulting layout.
- petercooper 17y agoAnyone fancy explaining? :-)
- cadwag 17y agoGranted, I'm not a PS/InDesign/etc pro, but I feel the same way: just not sure what I'm looking at here. Can someone please explain what this is?
- petercooper 17y agoSee, I am, and I'm still not getting what the story is here especially in relation to "pixel perfect." The guides demonstrate an attention to detail in getting a good corner, but that's nothing to do with the final pixel rendering as such.. really just good Illustrator path building.
- bozmac 17y agoThis is one of the great examples of the difference between a graphic designer that charges $200 per hour and your friend's cousin who can do the entire project for $20.
- waterlesscloud 17y agoWhat's the benefit to me as the user though? It's neat, but does it have any actual effect on anything?
- bozmac 17y agoThere might be none but that's not really the point now, is it? It's all about the quality of work.
- mieses 17y agothis is about design documentation, right? or is there something particularly interesting about the design itself?
- huhtenberg 17y agoI'm guessing it's about pouring a lot of work into 3 pixels worth of an end-user deliverable, i.e. not cutting corners and such.
- picasso81 17y agoI would be nice to have some more context on the company. I like to think this respect to detail is representative of how their service is run, but I don't know what the service is.
- huhtenberg 17y agoHomepage links to http://logopond.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=3578 http://logopond.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=3578 and it seems to be a time-stamping service for graphic designers. This too googles up http://typophile.com/node/63838 http://typophile.com/node/63838.
- ThomPete 17y agoI think it has to do with how to get perfect pixel in illustrator. If you just draw a line even if you have your rulers set to pixel you will get anti-aliasing once you render it in for instance photoshop. So what you do is that you offset it in points as far as I can remember by .5pt that way PS will render it nicely. Having said that I still don't know why someone thought of this to be HN worthy it's a rather old problem with a rather old solution.
- ThomPete 17y agothis could also just be some "clever" marketing trick I guess. Given that if you go to the front you can sign-up.
