RESPONSIVE WEB DESIGN

Ivan Frantar - 2012

AN OVERVIEW OF

MEDIA QUERIES

• What is Responsive Design?• Mobile Influence• Fluid Design• Adapting to Context• Adapting to Typography• Adaptive Images• Media Queries• Tools for browser compatibility

WHAT IS RESPONSIVE WEB DESIGN?

“Rather than tailoring disconnected designs to each of an ever-increasing number of web devices, we can treat them as facets of the same experience. We can design for an optimal viewing experience, but embed standards-based technologies into our designs to make them not only more flexible, but more adaptive to the media that renders them. In short, we need to practice responsive web design.

FLUID DESIGN

• Good for different screen sizes• Good for accessibility• Good for keeping the content flexible

BUT WHAT ABOUT ALL THOSE GADGETS PEOPLE ARE CARRING WITH THEM?

ADAPTING TO CONTEXT

960px

698px 218px

Target % Context = Result

960px

ADAPTING TO CONTEXT

218px

USING EM'S

ADAPTING TYPOGRAPHY

body { font-size:100%; /* will condition the size across font */}

• Size of an em related to the size of its context• Most browsers use as default 16px font size• Therefore if we use ems by changing the size of the body tag We can change the size of all the types accordingly

218px

USING EM'S – example

ADAPTING TYPOGRAPHY

• Apply same formula: target % context = result

#header { display: block; padding-top: 75px; color: #333; text-transform: uppercase; font: Arial; font-size: 48px;}

#header { display: block; padding-top: 75px; color: #333; text-transform: uppercase; font: Arial; font-size: 3em; /* 48 % 16 = 3 */ }

218px

ADAPTING IMAGES

img { max-width:100%;}

• Automatically images will scale 100% of container• Remove 'height' and 'width' attributes on <img> tag• Applicable to <embed>, <object>, <video>

218px

ADAPTING IMAGES

• File size not suitable from one viewport to another• Connectivity hungry if large images for wrong device• No solid solution to retrieve images appropriatly to device

PROBLEMS

SOLUTIONS (NOT ENTIRELY RELIABLE AT PRESENT TIME)

• Responsive Images: Experimenting with Context-Aware Image Sizing (link)• Adaptive Images (link)
