Creative CSS3 Animation Menus

Creative CSS3 Animation Menus
Being in the mood for experimenting with CSS3, I'd like to show you some creative menu hover effects in today's tutorial. The idea is to have a simple composition of elements, an icon, a main title and a secondary title, that will be animated on hover using only CSS transitions and animations. We'll be exploring some different effects for the elements. View demo Download source Being in the mood for experimenting with CSS3, I’d like to show you some creative menu hover effects in today’s tutorial. The icons used in the demos are actually a Web Symbols typeface that we’ll include with @font-face. The Markup The HTML structure for the menu will be an unordered list where each item is a link element that consists of an icon span and a content div that will contain the main title and the secondary title: As we are using a symbol font for the icons, we write letters for the icons. The CSS The common style for all the examples will be the inclusion of the symbol typeface: Example 1 Example 2

HTML5 Boilerplate, un template puissant et complet HTML5 Boilerplate est un template (HTML+CSS+JS+...) lancé par Paul Irish (Modernizr) et Divya Manian. Il contient toutes les bonnes pratiques du moment en terme de performances, de compatibilité inter-navigateurs, de JavaScript, avec un soupçon d'accessibilité (si utilisé à bon escient), voire de Flash. Une version sur-mesure peut être générée via Initializr. Vous retrouverez donc dans un zip tous les fichiers et sous-répertoires organisés pour débuter votre intégration avec d'excellentes bases. Bien entendu, vous l'aurez deviné, le but est de favoriser l'adoption de HTML, d'où l'inclusion par défaut de la librairie Modernizr, ainsi que jQuery via GoogleAPI (avec fallback local). Voici une liste des fonctionnalités supportées : Bien entendu d'autres sont à découvrir dans le code source, comme par exemples les indications pour les icônes Apple touch + favicon par exemple.

Original Hover Effects with CSS3 The power of CSS3 is enormous and in this tutorial we will see how to exploit it in a very creative way. We are going to create some thumbnail hover effects with CSS3 transitions. On hover over a thumbnail, we will reveal some description of the thumbnail, using a different style in each example. View demo Download source Please note that this will only work properly in modern browsers that support the CSS3 properties in use. The Markup The structure of markup is very simple and intuitive. Inside the view insert an element with the class mask that will be responsible for our effects driven by CSS3 and inside it we will put a title, description and a link to the full image. <div class="view"><img src="image.gif" /><div class="mask"><h2>Title</h2><p>Your Text</p><a href="#" class="info">Read More</a></div></div> The CSS After creating our markup we’re going to set our style. And now we’ll look at the ten effects. Example 1 And now comes the heart of our effect. Example 2 Example 3 Example 4

Animated Buttons with CSS3 Still hyped by the possibilities of CSS3, I want to share some CSS3 button experiments with you. The idea is to create some animated link elements with different styles, hover effects and active states. View demo Download source The icons used in some of the examples are by webiconset.com and the symbol font is by Just Be Nice We’ll go through every example and see how the HTML structure looks and what the styles for the normal, the hover and the active states are. Please note that the animations/transitions will only work in browsers that support those CSS3 properties. In order not to bloat the tutorial, I will not be using any CSS vendor prefixes. Example 1 In this example we will create a big button with several details in it. Markup The structure is pretty straightforward: the icon will be an image and the other elements will be spans: In the style we will make sure that the right transitions are set on the element that we want to animate on hover. Example 2 Example 3 Example 4 Example 5

CSS 3D Meninas (versión en castellano abajo) I’ve took the classic paint The Maids of Honour (Las Meninas) and made this CSS pseudo-3D/parallax effect. It is pure CSS, so no javascript or flash involved: only CSS and HTML code. It has been tested and it is working on Internet Explorer 8, Firefox 3, Opera 9, Safari 3, Chrome 4 and Konqueror 3.5, and it validates. UPDATE: 3D Meninas Explained Castellano He tomado el cuadro Las Meninas y he creado este efecto pseudo-3D con CSS. Para la realización he usado tres imágenes: dos se corresponden al fondo (paredes) y otra de sprites (3 sprites: uno con el lienzo, niño y perro, otro con las meninas, y el último con la monja y acompañante). Hay algunos truquitos para que el hover funcione correctamente, podéis verlos en el código fuente. Funciona en las últimas versiones de los navegadores más usados y valida. UPDATE: Explicación del efecto

A lire - Design a clean sports web layout in magazine-style with Photoshop I spend my days developing websites, improving WeGraphics and playing football. Well, I’ve tried to mix these three activities designing a blog-magazine style layout, perfect for an on-line football/sport community. This kind of websites generally are focused on the content because they should provide a lot of information to the readers and in this case I’ve choosen to bring out all the contents (the articles) giving more relevance to images and headings. The reason behind the choice of using large images is the direct consequence of my love for this sport: browsing a football-related website I need images, pictures, figures, colors, videos… I want to see my favourite champions. From psd to html/css… In this first tutorial I’ll show you how to realize the layout in Photoshop. Below you can take a look to the final result of our efforts. The Final Result A grid-based magazine web layout with a clean design and a nice look to engage the visitors. Step 0 – The canvas Step 1 – The background

How To Create Depth And Nice 3D Ribbons Only Using CSS3 In this last period on PV.M Garage we have described many trends of the modern Web Design and many techniques for creating stunning and impressive web sites. In one of our tutorials we learned how to realize a nice 3D ribbon and how to play with the drop shadow in Photoshop to simulate depth in a web design layout. This is a widespread trends in recent web design: creating a 3D perception in a website and simulating a “world” in three dimensions are two great ways for the designers to play with their skills. Many beautiful web sites have a wonderful, balanced, three-dimensional perception and it’s clear that this kind of layouts use, in a clever way, images (generally in the background property), lines and some CSS techniques to create the illusion of depth (there is a brilliant post, by Henry Jones on Web Design Ledger, about the use of 1px line to simulate the depth).
