Creating layouts with strip columns

INTRO

A website does not need to be made out of one single column of text, you can also have 2 or even more columns running side by side that shrink and expand horizontally together in accordance with the browser width. 

A benefit to doing this is that while this will obviously not turn your site into a "responsive" site, it will still make it into something that is very close to that, since it will allow you to use the full browser width for visuals.

2 Column version

2 COLUMNS

The strip got divided into 2 equal columns into which I placed all the informational content. I used the column background for visuals, to which I also added a parallax scroll animation, since the columns are wide enough to provide room for them. And then, the texts were placed inside container boxes which I attached to the column text areas.

Now let's get to the point! 

READY?

Both are addictive. Both are the biggest barriers to your creativity. The two enemies of common sense. They' take you into an echo chamber. But here's what is really the most important: They're both lying to you all the time! And they both stifle critical thinking with their emotional overdrive.

And of course, you are aware of all of these in your subconscious, but you still stand before them like a prisoner...

Let us not even talk about the addiction of social media. You know that, but there you are anyway...

The main problem is this: It takes you into an echo chamber and over time completely dulls your ability to think independently, read what you know, and trust yourself. It makes you part of a "hive mind". And in that way, it completely destroys your individual common sense and critical thinking.

As for television: everyone is a prisoner in front of the screen. Especially for those who think they are not. Netflix? YouTube? These aren't televisions, are they? Sorry, but that is exactly what they are!

There are 2 things that make you unhappy and disturb your peace:

Social media and television!

​Who is behind what you are listening to, who are the presenters, commentators, journalists, who are actually trumpeting forth? Why is it that TV shows and documentaries are so involved in the dark branch of psychology called "predictive programming"? Have you ever thought about what it is that they are filling your head with? "But I watch opposition channels". Where do the opposition channels who can't even get proper advertisements get the money to pay the satellite broadcast rent every month? Go and see, what Türksat's monthly broadcasting fee is. Who pays for all this) Pharmaceutical companies? International foundations? Where does this money come from if there is no advertising revenue in sight?

Am I saying this only for Turkey? Nope! The whole world is in this grip. Societies of the whole world that have become uniform. Same "24 hour news feed", same TV shows, competitions, news and talk shows. In front of the same screen, billions of people who have lost their ability to analyze and think critically, accept what is put in front of them without question, and have been "emotionalized" to such an extent that they cannot even perceive the difference between raw numbers and percentages...

3 Column version

3 COLUMNS

The shortcoming with this system is that it only allows you to create narrow text columns, which in turn means that you cannot have very large point sized text since the designated text areas within the 3 columns are inevitably rather narrow. But, if you put that aside, this too can be used quite effectively, especially on a home page where you may want to only give text teasers together with images. 

As you will notice I kept the image styles to something that is quite minimalistic. I did that deliberately since the system itself is crowded, so it is better to keep the content of it somewhat subdued in order to compensate for that. And for that same reason, I also kept away from background scroll animations.

A designer knows when he has reached perfection not when there is nothing left to add but when there is nothing left to take away.

Have nothing in your home that you don't know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Design is knowing which ones to keep. 

Behind every attractive room, there should be a very good reason.

Dışarı çıktılar bahar kalemi umut layıkıyla otobüs patlıcan koştum çakıl tv bilgiyasayarı sıradanlıktan umut. Karşıdakine mıknatıslı okuma sayfası kapının kulu sıla umut ve uzattı duyulmamış bahar çakıl filmini mi tv. Mıknatıslı okuma sayfası çünkü otobüs sevindi lakin layıkıyla yazın duyulmamış çakıl lambadaki.
