I believe we should do the same.
Why break things?
So that we know limitations 1

Make things 3 Better
Breaking Limitations 1 ...or How far can we push web
type?
As web typography improves, web designers want the same level
of control print designers have.
But what does that mean?
I want to use all these...
Not just these.
And put all this...
Into this.
So how did I get started? Pushing CSS(3) as far
as I could

<div class="itried">I tried to...</div> <div class="css">CSS Three</div> <span class="line-left"></span> <div
class="itworked">& it worked</div> <span class="line-right"></span> <div class="hoo">hooray!</div> For shame.
Break rules for the sake of progress.

Injects <spans> around letters, words, or lines
For example...
Gets you this. <h1 id="txt_onward"> <span class="char1">O</span> <span class="char2">n</span> <span
class="char3">w</span> <span class="char4">a</span> <span class="char5">r</span> <span class="char6">d</span> <span class="char7"></span> <span class="char8">&</span> <span class="char9"></span> <span class="char10">U</span> <span class="char11">p</span> </h1>

Breaking takes gumption.

This isn’t ideal. <h1 id="txt_onward"> <span class="char1">O</span> <span class="char2">n</span> <span
class="char3">w</span> <span class="char4">a</span> <span class="char5">r</span> <span class="char6">d</span> <span class="char7"></span> <span class="char8">&</span> <span class="char9"></span> <span class="char10">U</span> <span class="char11">p</span> </h1>
But imagine this h1::nth-letter(4); or h1::nth-char(4); targeting the 4th letter
within an <h1> tag h1::nth-word(3); targeting the 3rd word within an <h1> tag

What would the web look like if no one ventured

Responsive Web Design
Responsive Web Design isn’t bolt-on.
I’ve always seen the web in pixels
Complete Control at 3200%
ARCHY IER H
What is this dark magic?!
The only way to understand RWD was to get my
hands dirty.
We’d like a responsive video site for the new dolectures.co.uk.
Jon Heslop January 2011
None
To think about the web responsively is to think in
proportions, not pixels.
None
None
Hierarchy can be maintained.
A New Kind of Control
Use flexible grids, fluid images, and media queries to build
not a page, but a network of content that can be rearranged at any screen size to best convey a message.
Break things to make them better. ...or Responsivizing My Broke-Ass
Blog 3
I wanted to make my blog responsive.
Every.
Single.
Post.
But I couldn’t see from point A to B.
• Flexible Grids • Fluid Images • Media Queries
None
Can fine control of web type coexist with RWD?
Dave Rupert solves all my problems with javascript!

Teamwork makes dreams work!
The web community is our greatest asset. Camaraderie is everything.
“It’s fun to talk about design and to work on
my career, but that’s not going to last… the relationships in my life are where I really want to make the biggest impact.” Phil Coffman November 2011—The Great Discontent
