darrenshaw_org

Jekyll based site for darrenshaw.org

Design

The design directory contains

• inprogress site visual designs
• artwork for posts
• fonts
• photoshop processors for image resizing

Images

All images should be in avif format. Images for the photography homepage images/gallery should be 800px wide. Images for an individual photography gallery (e.g. images/photo/2024-june-emily) should have their long edge as 2400px. Images for an article should be 1400px wide

Filenames cannot start with _.

Images can be converted to avif format using ImageMagick. The following commands will convert all .tif files in the current directory to .avif.

magick mogrify -format avif *.tif
