GRAPHIC DESIGN, 742b, Networks & Transactions 1

How can graphic design influence and be influenced by the unpredictable encounters between one group and another? Or between quantities of unknown users on one side, and vast webs of fluctuating information on the other? In this first course of the Networks and Transactions sequence, we develop a typography appropriate for these pervasive conditions of the modern world. In addition to typographic concerns, fundamentals of programming—and the PHP language in specific—are learned through hands-on work. No previous programming experience necessary. Open to preliminary and first-year graphic design students, or by permission of the instructor. Dan Michaelson

COLOR CONVERSION IN PHP

Examples showing how to use PHP to convert HSV to RGB, RGB to hexadecimal, and just about any other color-related operation you’d want to perform.

Also, here’s my solution to assignment 1 in case it’d be helpful to see it in use: look at the code here, test it here.

CSS 3

Here’s an example of experimental CSS 3 commands, currently only supported in Safari 3.1 (WebKit). See also the code comments within : http://stewdio.org/css3

CITY CODE LOOKUP

This is the URL to use for city code lookup for the weather project (replace the “new%20haven” with another city, zip, or city code to get different results): http://xoap.weather.com/search/search?where=new%20haven

Here’s how I used it (these are links to code, the link to the functional site is above with the weather projects):

Thanks to Stewart and Stina for their help with this.
