Design tools I love to use. And by "love" I mean I choose these over the alternatives every time.
Calculators
- PX to EM converts pixels to Ems
CSS
See Category: Cascading Style Sheets
Color
Favorites
- Hex-to-RGB and RGB-to-Hex are quick color converters
- Paletton makes building a color palette easier, especially since it includes colorblindness tools
- WebAIM Color Contrast Checker is there to make sure your colors have accessible levels of contrast.
See Colorblindness for additional color tools and Category: Cascading Style Sheets for CSS tools that make gradients and stripes and the like easier.
Other tools
- Pictaculous generates color palettes based on a photograph you upload.
- Color Combo Tester lets you put a few columns of colors next to each other while fiddling with a palette
Code
- CanIUse tells you which browsers support the HTML/CSS/JS capabilities you want to use, so you can plan accordingly.
Converters
- Pandoc is a command-line tool for converting from one file format (such as HTML) to another (such as MediaWiki)
Deliverables
- Sketch is my preferred wireframing tool. That's a big deal, because I thought I'd probably wireframe in Photoshop or Visio (!!) for my whole career.
- Omnigraffle is my preferred every-other-diagram too. I do process flows, site maps, and everything else under the sun in it for work. For home I do everything from timelines (it's kind of hard for timelines) to sketches of the new deck, to family trees or "what is that neighbor's name?" maps.
Stock Photography
=Diversity-aware stock photography
Time Management
- Asana is my preferred to-do / agile / kanban board. (It does both multi-column boards *and* plain lists.) It also will timeline things that have dates on them. I currently use it to track both my work responsibilities (through work boards that are funded) and my writing/fiction responsibilities (through a free board). When my Asana boards are up to date I feel like I have some bit of control over my life.
UX Thinking
- Category:Design Principles is an ongoing and growing list of design principles and heuristics I use to validate my work
Wiki
- EmbedVideo Extension lets me embed videos in this here wiki.
