Caption Hover Effects
A tutorial on how to create some subtle and modern caption hover effects. View demo Download source Today we want to show you how to create some simple, yet stylish hover effects for image captions. The idea is to have a grid of figures and apply a hover effect to the items which will reveal a caption with the title, author and a link button. For some of the effects we will use 3D transforms. The aim is to keep the effects subtle and provide inspiration for many different variations. Please note: this only works as intended in browsers that support the respective CSS properties. The images used in the demos are Dribbble shots by talented Jacob Cummings. Let’s get started. The Markup The structure of our grid and the figures will be made of an unordered list and each item will contain a figure element. This is the default structure for all the grid examples. But first let’s define the common styles for all effects. The CSS The common styles for all the figures is the following. Effect 1 Effect 2 Related:  design

jQuery CollagePlus - an image gallery plugin by Ed Lea HTML5, CSS3, JS Demos, Creations and Experiments | CSSDeck jQuery Unveil - A very lightweight plugin to lazy load images Most of us are familiar with the Lazy Load plugin by Mika Tuupola. This plugin is very useful and it boosts performance delaying loading of images in long web pages because images outside of viewport (visible part of web page) won't be loaded until the user scrolls to them. Lazy Load has some cool options such as custom effects, container, events or data attribute. If you're not gonna use any of them you can reduce the file size by leaving just the essential code to show the images. That's what I did and this is my lightweight version of Lazy Load with support for serving high-resolution images to devices with retina displays - less than 1k. Usage Use a placeholder image in the src attribute - something to be displayed while the original image loads - and include the actual image source in a "data-src" attribute. If you want to serve high-resolution images to devices with retina displays, you just have to include the source for those images in a "data-src-retina" attribute. Threshold Callback

jQuery-Fakecrop: Cropping Images with jQuery - Vuong Nguyen Once in a while, you just want to display a collection (or more) of images with different dimensions. The problem seems easy enough. The task of manually creating thumbnail for each image is quite tedious and it’s definitely not worth the trouble to write a script to generate the thumbnails either. Let’s face it, this starts to feel… annoying. Now, being a problem solver and a big proponent of DRY, I created jQuery-Fakecrop, a jQuery plugin. jQuery-Fakecrop takes a collection of images and automatically scale them to fit a custom-defined bounding box. Below is the demo as well as the links to download & fork this plugin. Quick Start Normal NOTE: Since every image in this collection has extremely different dimensions, I restricted the height of the images to 100 pixel in CSS so this part of the page doesn’t look so… terrible. With Fakecrop (default) $('#fakecrop-fill img').fakecrop(); Public domain photographs courtesy of United State Department of Agriculture
