Intant .js Polarid effect

2008-04-07T03:00:22Z

instant-ly adds a Polaroid-like effect to your webpage’s images with the specified Class attribute (it tilts it and adds a border with a drop shadow), simulating this popular image technique without having to use a digital-image editing application such as Photoshop.

This can be utilized for when you’re applying this popular visual technique on multiple images and you don’t want to manually edit the pictures yourself (you can probably batch process, but that’s really only effective for simple actions such as resizing images, cropping uniformly, etc.).

2008-04-05T03:43:38Z

Social bookmarkers (digg, del.icio.us, furl….) are one of the basic web2.0 applications and services helping the communities and bloggers to expand and develop.

“[…]Enough of having to submit interesting articles by hand to your favorite social networks and newsgroups? Then this is for you!”–artviper.net

Yes i had enough ! i was thinking of making buttons of social book markers to this blog, but the problem is they are ALOT, and you can never exclude someone because they are all well known.

i thought about Ajax, and i was about to start coding something that groups every book marker button in some side menu for each post, this will affect the design however it will do the job, and how surprised was i when i was looking for this exact topic on google , to find this genuis release from Artviper.net

its name is mooSocialize, it is based on mootools ( the great framework ), it work as an image button inside your website and “By clicking the mooSocialize button, a window will appear, which lets you choose your favorite network. Having a thumbnail of each service beside the link, it’s easy to see and find the one of your liking[…]”

and the cool thing, there is a WordPress Plugin Version !!!

2008-04-04T17:32:55Z

I was ALL the time looking for somthing to realise a showroom-like environment for my web designing company’s website, I was looking for something like Apple’s CoverFlow (iTunes).

i found several ones, but i was looking for somthing that works on MooTools, the great js framework, and after a bit of googling yes i found it, MooFlow (pretty easy to figure out huh ?)

A few days ago, Outcut.de launched the 0.2dev version of this great script, i downloaded and played around with the script, and made some great result: www.Ar-InDesign.com

these kind of effects and methods is a great way to present your works, collections, and/or pictures in general, in a great stylish Web2.0 way (thanx apple.)

i will be making a full tutorial about this script once the final release comes out, and another tutorial about how to make these effects in Photoshop CS2.

the newer version includes lot of features as:

full screen option
scrolling with mouse wheel
scrolling with key input (left and right cursor)
reflections via javascript (WOW !!!! lol)
load images via json (with event or on startup)
load images from a html-source with filter
creates the UI automatically
UI skinable via CSS
