Don't worry about the delay :)

As far as I can remember I didn't created responsive versions of the IPFire Website. It makes sense that these are at least almost done before Sven starts with coding. I don't want that Sven has to guess the font sizes, paddings, margins, line-height and so on. That's not his job :) So please stay tuned for a proper handover. I'm sure that will help Sven a lot.

@Sven
Hey Sven, nice to meet you :)

I just want to give some information beforehand. You may already know that but I just want to get sure that we are both on the same level.

My designs and layouts are based on a 8x8px grid (4x4px fallback) and are Atomic Design driven. Touch Targets are at least 48x48px. In some edge cases there might be less. Means that you will never see a "margin: 50px" because 50 is not dividable by 8 or 4. I would very appreciate if you could consider that within your code. That method provides a great support to follow a consistent line. I'm pretty sure that I'll provide all designs via zeplin.io. From that tool you will get (almost) every information you need. Margins, paddings, colors, font size, etc.

Also I'm a big fan of Pattern Libraries. At least when it comes to the IPFire WUI there will be a lot of pattern usage to save time on your side.

My strong guess is that it would make sense to have different Pattern Libraries for the Website/FireInfo and WUI. But that is totally up to you how to deal with that :) I think you already saw the first designs for the WUI?

Hope that doesn't sound like an arrogant Designer. Believe me that one of my most important goals is to make the DEVs life as comfortable as possible by providing well prepared handovers. My experience with that is that we will get a great output and a professional looking UI/Website.


Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Best, M

I can only apologise that everything took so long. I would have liked to see
this realised quicker but time just didn't allow me to work on it. Luckily Sven
is now on board to help out and together we will get this done now!

So where have we stopped? As far as I can see the designs for the index and
features page are done. Is there anything I forgot?

I think what Sven mainly needs is the background images that you used and so on.
I am quite sure this doesn't need to be PSD in particular.

If required we can have a conference call with everyone, but I am not sure if
there are any big questions that we cannot discuss on the list.

Best,
-Michael
