Alzheimer’s Society picks up prize
The Microsoft-led DesignIT 2007 competition has been won by an innovative concept that will help people with dementia.
The winning design, submitted by The Alzheimer’s Society, is called ‘memories are made of this’ and comes in two parts. The first is a customisable screensaver. The user will be able to upload pictures, text and video to create a personalised scrapbook on a computer. The second part is a social networking element, which will provide an easy to use way for people with dementia to talk with each other. Full story from the BBC.
456 - Bulletproof shrinkwrapping buttons
This is a demo document for the technique described in the article Creating bulletproof graphic link buttons with CSS.
A successfull bulletproof image-based button should:
- Automatically grow horizontally to fit any amount of text
- Grow horizontally and vertically if text size is increased or if the text wraps to multiple lines
- Retain its appearance within reasonable limits
- Be able to have rounded (or other non-square) corners
- Have no unclickable areas
- Be readable when images are disabled
A bag-full of mark-up required but pretty neat.
