A presentation at Tilburg Tech Meetup in in Tilburg, Netherlands by Hidde de Vries
Veel van ‘s werelds mooiste drukwerk is ontworpen op vaste canvassen, met vaste content en enige zekerheid over kleur. Op het web is onze tooling flexibeler. Met media queries, flexibele units, Grid Layout en flexbox kunnen we geweldig grafisch ontwerp realiseren. In deze presentatie laat Hidde CSS zien die geweldig grafisch ontwerp in de praktijk brengt, op het web. Laat je inspireren door de iconen uit de geschiedenis van grafisch ontwerp, en leer over nieuwe CSS properties die je vandaag in projecten kunt toepassen.
