Common adjustment layers include Levels, Curves, Hue & Saturation, and Gradient Mapping. While adjustments can be done directly on images, I choose to use layers because they can be moved, copied, and adjusted.

Smart objects can store the layers and image data from a Photoshop project as its own composite layer. Double-clicking a smart object layer will open that layer as its own Photoshop project. Saving that project updates the smart object layer in the parent file.

Display settings for layers can be set with Layer Comps. In this way, Layer Comps can conditionally display multiple images per single file. Photoshop layers can also be individually turned on and off.

Illustrator objects may have only their top-level layers toggled. In the same way with Photoshop Layer Comps, top-level layers can be used to display multiple images or layered combinations.

Character style span lengths of text and they can do anything from setting strong or emphasized text, to correctly formatting acronyms, or highlighting text. They can also be referenced when styling bullets and drop caps.

I tend to use paragraph styles for all text. This way, modifications can be made easily and text can be added quickly. I usually set base styles and stem others off of them, so that if I need to set spacing and sizing globally, I can do that from centralized node points.

I am familiar with the majority of paragraph attributes and case uses for certain settings.

I can format tables to make information easier to read or to be better representative of their values.

I am familiar with the concept of keyframe animation in PowerPoint. I can synchronize animation fairly precisely according to given timeframes, audio queues, or narration. I am also familiar with intro and outro animation and their practical applications.

Objects are easy for me to animate. I tend to use non-obtrusive animation like fades, or more grandiose animations that fit the particular application or scenario. If an animation can be laid out or diagramed, I can usually animate it to set specifications.

Transitioning to different slides is pretty simple. I am familiar with the practical applications for most of the animation options.

Using sums, current time, and slope equations, I have managed form an asymmetric time management document where a weekly total can be set for whatever activity, and time spans can be entered with Clock In and Clock Out times. Multiple activities can be summated separately and conditional formatting coupled with slope equations can form percentile totals per task and per grand total.

Time is derived from the range of Clock In and Clock Out times being subtracted from a total value to determine what amount of time is remaining. If-then statements can error correct for displaying zero values as blank statements and for correcting clocked totals exceeding the goal value.

With the TODAY() function, an expiry value can be created that indicates how many days a date has before being reached. Those values can also be sorted to see when tasks are about to be elapsed.

I created an equation to loop between a set of two numbers (positive or negative) if the input number is out of the range between those numbers. I created several calculations in several cells which eventually created the desired number at the bottom. Then, I replaced the cell references with their equations until I was left with an equation that only referenced the targeted input cells. Then I replaced the cells with JavaScript variables and turned it into a function.

Given my graphic design background, I can use grid systems, color schemes, composition, and spacing to create ideal graphic layouts for various situations.

I can create nearly any layout I can see or think of. There are some dynamic layouts that are impossible in HTML, but most I can create from a planned diagram or sketch.

Using Photoshop, I can manage the best balance of image quality and file size. I also understand some aspects of compression such as loss, signals, noise, and like patterns.

I generally style components that change independently of each other according to screen width queries. I can snap to common screen sizes, or adjust more intricately.

I use CSS flexbox to design more dynamic, complex, and fluid layouts. I tend to use flexbox to more accurately follow storyboard concepts that have complicated alignment and spacing.

In CSS, a programmer can set the same property for multiple classes or tags at once. I use this for common or repeated padding, margins, width, and height in elements.

Queries can be used for screen size and device type to conditionally style a page. I generally use queries to design pages for public view.

These are used to set page styles according to screen size. I usually test in Goole Chrome, which can display changes in screen size in Developer Mode.

This concept is when CSS screen size queries default to mobile phone size, and then they gradually ascend device sizes to desktop monitors and beyond. I favor coding for mobile-first, but starting at desktop size, then channeling styles to different minimum sizes. This page was programmed with the “Mobile First” technique.

My ability with “nth” selection in CSS ranges from simple to incredibly complex. I am able to plan schematics with “nth-child”, “nth-of-type”, “nth-last-of-type”, and “nth-last-child” selectors such as tables with rounded edges, table cells with variant backgrounds, and conditional margins.

I use a variety of selector types to target specific elements in specific instances. I can focus selection through associations in the Document Object Model and Node Object associations. I can also target by property or custom datasets.

“Prototypes” can attach variables or functions to objects with the dot operator.
