Every Friday, except for those Fridays when we’re particularly busy or can’t be bothered, we’re going to be giving away something useful and/or interesting and/or something we just found lying around the house. This week, we’re going to be wetting the pants of all our loyal Web designers by giving away your very own Pixel Ruler! Here’s what it looks like:
And this is how you use it:
- Download the Pixel Ruler. If you don’t know how to do this, leave a comment and we will go over this in another tutorial. We’ll probably make it a premium tutorial because that way, we will know that there is a demand for it and we can make a bit of money out of you.
- Once you have downloaded the Pixel Ruler. Print it out. IMPORTANT: It MUST be printed in color else it won’t work. If you print it in black and white, you can color it with an orangey-brown Crayola crayon and it will be okay.
- Hold the ruler up to the image, photo or Web design on your monitor you want to measure.
- Use the top row of the ruler to measure in pixels, and use the bottom row of the ruler to measure in megapixels.
- Once you have established the length of the graphic or photo or Web template you are measuring, you can either write it down, remember it, or post it on Twitter. If you post the number on Twitter, it cannot be above 140 pixels or megapixels.
- Please note that you can only use the ruler horizontally. We hope to work on and release a vertical version at some point in the future.
TIP: Not sure what the difference is between pixels and megapixels? Megapixels, as the name suggest are just better. They are bigger and better and they are PACKED with omega fatty acids which are really good for fat Web designers.
Enjoy!
