Exploring the next FFL prototype.

Inspiration

Steve Jobs wanted Mr. Macintosh to randomly appear in the original Mac OS. I love that this was considered.

Building a small web app to allow FFL people to more easily add "We're reading" links to the blog. Trying out Vue.js as a framework with it.


Standardizing the reports and putting them within the client portal. Taking the opportunity to try and clean up the mobile styling.


Figuring the layout for a wall in my room. With wall pegs (and hoodie) and a shelf.

Working on standardizing the report HTML inside of our new client portal. Asciidoc templating is very interesting to work with.


This was kind of a glitch but now it is pointing in an exciting direction.


New layout for the clients page. Still thinking.


Exploring an alternate layout for the report and prototype display on the client page. I never was quite happy with the other one.


A GIF of all the reports. Tedious photoshop placement finally bearing some fruit.


Working on putting all the book previews into the new mock book format.


A GIF of the FF05 report. I made a photoshop mock for the book.


Working on a mock for FFL report product photos.


Tidying up, feeling decent about the look of this now. I also have autoplay going, though I think I am going to alter that so it only goes when they hit the middle of the viewport.


Finished version (for now) of the report and prototype links.


Working on carrying over the blog post preview link style to the client portal site links.


In the midst of switching stylesheets.

I like the portrait aesthetic on this twitter bot's weird posts.

Chambers Sans proved just a little too rectilinear for long passages. So I spent some time figuring out a complementary body font for the blog. I settled on Seravek which has enough angular elements (I really like the lowercase b) to complement Chambers but also has enough curves to be friendlier to long text.
