Great news! We finally got word from Clare at iShed that our Pervasive Media pitch has been accepted. So in the new year we’ll all be putting our heads together, brainstorming, exploring and canvassing the opinions of any one who’s interested, ready for the coming 3 months. Soon enough we might even be able to answer the most important question - what is Pervasive Media!?

During the final pitch session we were introduced to Gill from Plot and John from BDH who have also been commissioned to complete a Pervasive Media project. As it turns out both groups have chosen to explore Pervasive Media using the theme of ‘happiness’, so we look forward to the discussions we will have and to discovering the ways our projects will influence each other over the coming months.

What a great way to start the New Year!

For quite a while now we’ve all been struggling with browsers returning (by default) fonts that ’should’ be the same size across the board.

Obviously, when we design with a font-size of 12px, we need it to be 12px!

IE makes its margins and padding different from Firefox’s, Opera’s and Safari’s, meaning that certain graphical elements appear un-matched when we do our testing on various platforms.
Luckily Yahoo Developer Network has come up with an answer that must have taken them a while to figure.

“Yahoo Fonts CSS“ is a clever bit code that tells all the A-Grade browsers to display the fonts the same size and when coupled with “Yahoo Reset CSS” will reset all the XHTML elements to display the same.

That’s saved a bit of time!
