When asked to hold a training session on CSS3 at my place of work, I thought a great way of demonstrating its capabilities would be to create my actual animated presentation using, wait for it… CSS3! I’d already done a bit of experimenting on how we can trigger CSS3 transitions on click, rather than just […]
Read MoreIf you’ve seen any of my previous posts, you’ll probably know that I’ve been doing a lot of playing around and experimenting with CSS3, including transitions which I’m a huge fan of. This post will be furthering the experimentation and looking into more creative ways in which transitions could be used and hopefully providing some […]
Read MoreThere is a tremendous amount of experimentation with CSS3 around the Web at the moment, with exploration into new properties and some extremely creative thought processes producing a wealth of impressive outcomes. It’s exciting, eye-opening, mind-broadening and sometimes even a little intimidating to see the complexity of what some people have been producing with a […]
Read MoreFollowing on from last weeks article on CSS3 transitions, which described the ease of applying them, this week we’re going to focus our attention on the aspect of transitions that is the most difficult to understand and the least self-explanitory; the transition-timing-function property. Just to remind ourselves, here are the CSS3 transition properties: -moz-transition-property:border, opacity; […]
Read MoreCSS3 is rapidly expanding in terms of popularity and usage as browser support increases and front-end developers open up to graceful degredation. The properties receiving the most wide-spread usage at the moment seem to be border-radius, box-shadow and other such properties that achieve nice, aesthetic qualities without the use of images. Rather surprisingly, CSS3 transitions […]
Read MoreWe’re advancing things a little this week by tackling the Volkswagen logo. The logos we’ve re-created so far have focused on manipulating flat shapes, whereas the VW logo has much more depth, with several gradients and shadows. We’re going to be focusing on the CSS3 gradient property in this post, dissecting the code and explaining […]
Read MoreAs requested, I’ve decided to follow up last week’s post (within which we re-created the Batman logo with CSS3), with the Batman logo used in the new films. The shape is simpler and easier to achieve than the original Batman logo so in order to ensure further progression in this series I’ve added a couple […]
Read MoreThe second famous logo in the series we’ll be attempting to re-create with CSS3 is the Batman logo! Last week we looked at the Pepsi logo, which was relatively simple with only three blocks of colour to manipulate into the appropriate shapes and position. The Batman logo is a bit more tricky, occupying a much […]
Read MoreThis is the first in a new, experimental CSS3 series within which I will be attempting to re-create a famous brand logo each week without the aid of any images, using only CSS. I should probably start by saying there may be better or more efficient ways to achieve my outcomes than whatever methods I […]
