About

Jen Simmons, host and executive producer

As a full-stack designer since 1996, with expertise in HTML & CSS, my projects include front-end development work for CERN, design work for Google and the W3C, and clients from Mark Boulton Design to the Annenberg Foundation. My career has been an eclectic blend of award-winning short films, print design, theatre, audio-mixing for live shows, and speaking. I'm deeply interested in content structure and innovating page layout. The Web Ahead was born of a desire for us to empower and challenge one another as we make the web.

Episode 117 Transforming the Shapes with Eva Ferreira

Web pages are visually and technically a pile of boxes. By default, all those boxes are rectangles and squares. But they don't have to be any longer. With CSS we can now transform those rectangles into parallelograms, rhombuses, skewed boxes, circles, and elephants — or any shape we want. Eva Ferreira joins Jen Simmons to talk about what's possible and how to do it.
