Useful List of Responsive Web Design Tutorials

30 Responsive Web Design tutorials for kick-starting your RWD game.

The concept of responsive web design, started by Ethan Marcotte, is that our web layouts should respond to the user’s device, and that our page must load adapting best suitable layout and design to fit any end-device. He outlines three parts in his book Responsive Web Design for a responsive website:

A fluid grid
Fluid images
Media queries

These tutorials I’m sharing here today should give you a good hands-on experience on these three factors.

Creating a Designer’s Resume in Photoshop

Tutorial for designing a single-color creative resume for designers.

Designers have a hard time creating a resume (also called CV), that’s because a designer is supposed to design something outrageous for his introducer… I mean resume is the thing that’s gonna makes a designer’s first impression, not the designer himself!

I was coping with the same problem a some time ago, so I designed this thing.
The aspects which make this resume design superior than some others is that it is a single color design, it can be xeroxed/photocopy-ed but more importantly, it doesn’t take much time to be studied. Bosses usually don’t like it when they have to study a lot.

Love Fonts? Love Adobe’s free Edge Web Fonts!

If you’re a web designer who loves fonts, and what designer doesn’t, then the world of online fonts just keeps getting better. And now in addition to paid services like Typekit, Webtype, and Fontdeck , Adobe has launched its free Edge Web Font service to “compete” with the also free Google’s Web Fonts.

Actually Adobe partnered with Google to compile a library of more than 500 families of open source fonts for its Edge Web Fonts, including Google Web Fonts and a sampling from the Adobe library. Fonts are served using the same web-based engine that powers Adobe’s paid Typekit service. Incorporating them into a website is a matter of cutting and pasting a few lines of code.
