Animation Using CSS Transforms < CSS Tweet363 Shares Share0 Tweets37 Comments The examples on this page will work now in Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Opera and Internet Explorer 10. In older browsers you will see either no effects, or the transforms taking place without any animation. The animations presented below involve setting up a transformation to take place in response to a mouseover or other event. There are also other kinds of animation available, including @keyframes for perpetual motion, and requestAnimationFrame which gives complete control over the timing and path. Firefox and Opera now support these transforms with an almost identical syntax - just replace -webkit- with -moz- or -o- in the examples below. Internet Explorer 10 supports transitions with no prefix. To support all modern browsers, the following styles should be used for transitions: -webkit-transition -moz-transition transition and for transforms: -webkit-transform -moz-transform -ms-transform transform 1. box 1 box 2 box 3 box 4 2. 3. 4. and the HTML: 5. 6.
3D Transforms and Animations < CSS 3D Transforms were first implemented by the Safari/WebKit team ages ago. Support in other browsers is still variable, but getting better. CSS3 animation and 2D transforms have been implemented in Safari, Firefox, Opera and even Internet Explorer 10, but in this article we're taking it a step further using keyframes to set up perpetual animation effects in 3D space. These effects will work in WebKit (Safari/iPhone/iPad and Chrome) and Mozilla (Firefox) browsers. Some simpler effects will work in Internet Explorer 10, but they don's support the preserve-3d setting needed for proper 3D layouts. 1. What are keyframes? A @-webkit-keyframes block contains rule sets called keyframes. While this may sound complicated, and can be, we're starting with one of the most simple examples. In this example the keyframe has been assigned the name 'spinner' for later reference. 2. The 'stage' is the element in which our animation takes place. The next element is the one to which the animation is applied. 3.
Controlling CSS Animations < JavaScript This page presents a simple game of Concentration using JavaScript events and CSS transforms to provide real-time effects. The mechanics of the game are not so important, the aim is mainly to show how we can trigger animations using JavaScript events instead of just using the :hover event or keyframes. The example below is working in WebKit browsers (Safari, Chrome, iPhone/iPad), Mozilla browsers (Firefox) and Opera. It may also work in Internet Explorer 10 though that has yet to be confirmed. 1. Here you can see the final product. The goal of the game, as you probably already know, is to turn over two cards with the same value to make a pair. You can find an upgraded version further down the page, including a standalone demo. 2. The HTML code for this is actually very simple: These elements are styled using the following CSS: This creates the layout you see above. 3. The following additional CSS style is all we need to define our transitions: 4. expand code box 5. 6. expand code box 7. 10.

How To Design An Abstract Wallpaper In Photoshop (and Illustrator) Combining Illustrator and Photoshop can produce some dramatic and intense effects. Illustrator has the powers (and tools) to easily create abstract shapes, whereas in Photoshop, although possible, this can take up a lot more of your time. In this tutorial we will be creating abstract shapes using the Pen Tool and Shape Tools in Illustrator and then using those shapes to produce an abstract wallpaper in Photoshop using various color blending techniques, textures and transformation tools. Let’s get going! Step 1 As always with these step-by-step tutorials, we need to start by opening up a new document. Unless you’re planning on sending your final design to press, you can just open up a Web Preset document – I’m going to use a 1920×1200 pixel document, the size of my iMac 24″ monitor, for both the Photoshop and Illustrator document. Save your files immediately with a suitable name. Step 2 Step 3 Using the same technique, create some more abstract shapes. Step 4 Step 5 Repeat the step again…twice.

Though officially launched in 2010, growth in usership has exploded over the last few months. According to recent estimates , Pinterest rocketed from 1.2 million members to more than 4 million in just five months. So, is it time for you and your brand to jump on the bandwagon? Let’s put on our best pair of Jerry Seinfeld jeans and ask, “Pinterest: What’s the deal with that?” What? What does it do? How do I join? Is it mobile? What kind of content is shared on Pinterest?

Dan Ptak, Account Manager: “I joined last year after my fiancee and her roommate started using it and urged me to sign-up. Jacqueline Zenn, Digital Strategist: “Pinterest allows me to discover new things I didn’t even know I needed.
Set Your Website on Fire with Red Themes, Photos, and Palettes There are some things that you wouldn’t have thought of when using red, such as symbols or effects on our mood. After all, it’s just a colour, right? Red has quite a few qualities and associations; fiery, passionate and overall dynamic are just a few descriptive words that barely scratch the surface. Prepare to go deeper into the subject and see just how it works! Basics Like its predecessor from the previous article, red is part of the primary triad, but it is also on the opposite side in a few senses. Characteristics Being a warm colour, it tends to be more invasive and will make a room appear to be smaller than it actually is, but when used well and in darker forms, it can lend itself to a cozier environment. As mentioned, red is somewhat more difficult to perceive and this is because it has the highest of wavelengths. Colour therapy suggests that exposure to red raises the blood pressure, thus having an invigorating effect. Symbolism photo by Martin Lougas Combinations Palettes 01. 02. 03.
