Blog au Roux

Great Creole cuisine comes from the blending of cultural influences — French, Spanish, Caribbean and African — to create a truly distinctive and memorable taste. Our varied backgrounds allow us to share our collective expertise. As for Creole cooking, we start with one core piece of advice, “First you make a roux…”

A Very Merry Mudbug Holiday Blog

Here at Mudbug Media, the office is filled with creative minds of every sort. Towards the end of each year, the Design and Front End Development Department gets to let a few of these creative minds loose to design and create our yearly holiday card.

This year, our card began as a collaborative effort among the entire design team and one member from each department at Mudbug. This mega Mudbug team of designers and department representatives brainstormed together to come up with a holiday card idea. Scott, our president, suggested along with other department representatives that the card be something practical, something the recipient would find useful. With this goal in mind, we set out to develop a holiday card that was not only beautiful and full of holiday cheer, but also useful enough to not get thrown away at the end of the season with the rest of the holiday decorations and cards. We wanted recipients to remember Mudbug Media and keep us on their desk all year round.

CSS3 Keyframe Animation

What is CSS3 Keyframe Animation?

Keyframe Animation is a technique of animating that transitions objects smoothly between two states (i.e. keyframes). CSS3 Keyframe Animation uses CSS code to enable a browser to natively animate without having to enable a proprietary third-party plug-in like Flash. Modern browsers have the ability to hardware accelerate much of the rendering process, and because CSS3 Keyframe Animations are rendered by the browser instead of Flash, much of the visual heavy lifting can be passed off to the much more efficient video card. CSS3 Keyframe Animations are currently the only way to view animations on mobile devices; modern mobile devices do not officially support Flash. Like many new CSS3 features, CSS3 Animation works in modern browsers but is not supported in older browsers such as IE9 or lower.

A typical week in the office involves scheduling and working on multiple projects, meetings with clients,  internal training (to stay current with best practices, techniques, and technologies), “Afternoon Tea” (where everyone at Mudbug Media dedicates an hour to creative thinking while snacking on sweets), and hours of research, analysis, design, development, testing, and project management.

Learning from the Master: Josh Clark (Part 2)

In this episode, I’ll provide some examples of both good and poor mobile design, and provide some starting points for “teaching touch” or how to guide users through your awesome interface.

For those of you interested in tips on ergonomic mobile design, or some insights into mobile device usage behavior, I covered that in Part 1.

Learning from the Master: Josh Clark

We’ve been with the keyboard and mouse for nearly 30 years now, and in the early days of that computing paradigm, things were fairly simple. Screen sizes were all pretty common, resolution was low, everything you could do on the screen was, well, on the screen and things were even black and white. The tools and techniques available to Designers and Developers back then were fairly limited, but then again, so was the machine.
