CSS3 Patterns Gallery Browser support The patterns themselves should work on Firefox 3.6+, Chrome, Safari 5.1, Opera 11.10+ and IE10+. However, implementation limitations might cause some of them to not be displayed correctly even on those browsers (for example at the time of writing, Gecko is quite buggy with radial gradients). Also, this gallery won’t work in Firefox 3.6 and IE10, even though they support gradients, due to a JavaScript limitation.

Magnifying glass for image zoom using Jquery and CSS3 View codePlay Walkthrough Description Learn to make a realistic magnifying glass using Jquery and CSS3. Hover above the image to see the action.

Hack Your Maps Web maps have come a long way. Improved data, cleaner design, better performance, and more intuitive controls have made web maps a ubiquitous and critical component of many apps. They’ve also become one of the mobile space’s most successful transplants as more and more apps are powered by location-aware devices. The core web map UI paradigm itself—a continuous, pannable, zoomable surface—has even spread beyond mapping to interfaces everywhere. Article Continues Below Despite all this, we’ve barely begun to work web maps into our design practice. Have you ever taken apart a map? This article is a long overdue companion to Paul’s piece.

Frugal for Life What is it about being frugal, why do it? Actually, some people don’t do it at all, they have decided that what they want and desire is what they are going to get and they feel they deserve that lifestyle. I have no trouble with that; more power to ya, live long and prosper and may you die with the most toys. However, for me, I find little value in the things around me. When I was a teenager, things were my identity, I had a little saying that I stole from a Queen song, "I want it all, and I want it now." Quite a few years ago I was given a leather jacket, I always wanted one because I thought they were cool and thus, I would be cool. As the years passed and I was in some hard times, I needed money for necessities and didn’t know what to do, until I saw the jacket in the closet in all it’s shiny newness and cleanliness. It killed me to take that jacket in, but I had to and to do it, I had to distance myself from the experience so I could get it done. Frugality is also about moderation.
Using the Rule of Thirds as a Grid Outline Designers talk about grid structures all the time. It’s not surprising. Grids are the backbone of just about any design project. But what about the rule of thirds – a mathematically-based grid that can be traced to design projects that are hundreds of years old? The answer should be yes. The rule of thirds is an important grid concept that explains how people look at images, websites and other visual information. What is the Rule of Thirds? The rule of thirds is a three-frame wide by three-frame deep grid that can rest over an image and tell designers a lot about how eyes will follow the image or design. Each of the blocks in the rule of thirds grid I the same size (nine total blocks) but those blocks can change shape and size with each project. The grid helps designers with a few key points that may come as somewhat of a surprise. The common path of the eye on a design is from top to bottom and then left to right.The best design is not always symmetrical. Website Design Photos
