Using Text Shadow in HTML/CSS

Dec 4th 2009 by Teylor Feliz

In this post, I will discuss the topic of using text shadow in HTML/CSS. Text shadow is a property from CSS2, and what it does is simply apply shadow to the text. Moreover, text shadow allows you to create a somewhat moved or blurred copy of a piece of text, to do positioned or color shadows, to create the appearance of 3D effects, to create more than one shadow (which gives an interesting effect all its own), and to make many other interesting effects. It is an interesting variation to use in design, to shake things up and create a distinction on your design; however, I do not suggest overusing it. Below is some information about using text shadow in HTML/CSS that I hope you find useful. Please feel free to comment and leave your own ideas! Enjoy!

Exceptional Sports Logos Part 2: College Teams

Nov 22nd 2009 by Teylor Feliz


As I have written before in Part 1 of my Exceptional Sports Logo Post, logos are what represent your company, product, business, or even yourself to the world. They are the primary way to communicate to the world your business’s personality, identity, essence, and individuality. There are two types of logos: logomarks are symbol-based logos, and logotypes of logos that are made up of artist typography. The latter has become increasing more popular with the explosion of Web 2.0. But, no matter what type of logo it is, it must abide by certain essential elements that make a logo exceptional, and these elements should be considered in the planning and executing process of the logo design. continue reading
