An HTML5 Slideshow w/ Canvas & jQuery
You’ve probably heard a lot about the new HTML5 canvas element. As the name implies, this is a special element that allows us to create and modify graphics. In addition, we can also use it like any other element on the page – apply jQuery animations on it, listen for events and integrate it deeply into our layouts. All uses of canvas you’ve come so far are probably limited to games and other proof of concept demos. Today, however, we are doing something practical – we are making a progressively enhanced slideshow with a fancy transitioning effect, which is perfectly functional in older browsers as well.
Follow this step by step walkthrough of the making of a sleek website design for an eyewear brand in HTML5 and CSS3. We’ll build the HTML structure with the latest elements then style up the appearance of the site with CSS3 affects to match the original Photoshop concept with minimal use of background images. The design we’ll be coding up is for a fictional eyewear brand named OPTIK. If you’re interested in seeing how the design concept was created in Photoshop, head over to Blog.SpoonGraphics so see part one of the tutorial. Essentially the page is based on an underlying grid and features a few key focal elements to direct the user towards the various ranges of eyewear.
