Media Queries Genius Marketing: Artsy Animated GIFs Show Beer-Making Process You all went gaga when we featured the animated-GIF stylings of Jamie Beck and Kevin Burg earlier this year, so we're pleased to see that the duo is expanding their horizons with a new project. Yes, it's marketing beer. And yes, it's still pretty freaking cool. Beck and Burg used their "cinemagraph" technique to document the process of making Dogfish Head's new strawberry-and-honey-flavored Tweason'ale in a series of what they describe as "journalistic" visual vignettes. [The process of selecting then pressing the strawberries for juice, to be added to the brew] Let's call a spade a spade: This is marketing, pure and simple. [Adding the sorghum and the strawberry] It's worth noting that Burg and Beck contacted Dogfish to collaborate, rather than the other way around.

Creating Non-Rectangular Layouts with CSS Shapes Today we can create all kinds of shapes with CSS using CSS transforms, but all these shapes do not affect the flow of the content inside or around them. That is, if you create a triangle or a trapezoid with CSS, for example, the shape created does not define or affect the way the text inside it flows, or the way inline text around it does. With the introduction of CSS Shapes into the web, wrapping content in custom non-rectangular shapes, and recreating print designs and layouts on the web becomes a piece of cake! In this article we're going to go over the basics of declaring shapes, and creating some simple layouts using these new CSS technologies. The CSS technologies we’ll be covering in this article may not work in your browser. Most of this article's demos use the shape-inside property, which has been temporarily removed from Webkit and Blink. All HTML elements have a rectangular box model which governs the flow of content inside and around it. How, exactly? And that’s it!
