>From an accessibility and convenience* standpoint, I have an issue whenever we use pictures of text over actual text. (Alt tags aren't enough) The CSS rotation may not quite be ready for prime time, but if USED CAREFULLY, it can still be better than text out of Photoshop.
*Can't even begin to count the number of sites that had some snippet of useful text just begging to be copied into my research notes only to discover the text is a graphic. <grumble> -----Original Message----- From: css-d-boun...@lists.css-discuss.org [mailto:css-d-boun...@lists.css-discuss.org] On Behalf Of Tomasz Kisielewski Sent: Thursday, April 07, 2011 1:55 PM To: Chris F.A. Johnson Cc: Gabriele Romanato; css-discuss Subject: Re: [css-d] Experiment: CSS post it note Hi Guys. I can't agree that visual effects are good in this example. When manipulate any image, or create composition always beware of shadows.In this example it doesn't make sense, still photoshop,or gimp do better job than box rotation ( browsers support as well). CSS3 is great, but....some things are pretty useless, especially if you think about production environment. Thats my opinion. Tom On Thu, Apr 7, 2011 at 9:37 PM, Chris F.A.
