The following demo was made using a variety of CSS techniques. Rounded corners, shadows, gradients, rgba, pseudo-elements, and transforms are just some of them. A lot of these were generated by helpful tools, such as westciv's tools and Border Radius. By combining these techniques, you can create rich graphics with just a few lines of code. Here are a few examples. In the contacts icon, I used 5 different shapes for the silhouette icon. The head is a rectangle with rounded corners, followed by another rectangle for the neck and a distorted semi-circle for the body. In order to get the curve of the shoulders to the neck, I placed two circles on top of the shapes. The weather icon has several rays of light shooting from behind the sun. Each one of these rays is actually a long rectangle with a gradient that fades to transparent on either end. I used -webkit-transform:rotate to rotate each rectangle to a different angle. The same effect was used for the iTunes icon. To get the cloud icon on the iDisk icon, I used two circles layered on top of each other, above a rounded rectangle. The larger circle has a gradient that cuts off just before the rectangle.

Since tables were co-opted for layout purposes, columns have become key to many Web design layouts, and this thinking continued when CSS took over from tables (at least in the minds of savvy designers) for Web-page presentation. However, other fields of layout design don't think in arbitrary columns, they work with grids, and these form the basis for the structure of page designs. This article will provide the lowdown on grid design for Web pages. Thinking modular Grids are a template, a framework within which creativity can flourish. Too many designers spend time looking at a blank canvas, trying to figure out where elements should be positioned, but, if you have a flexible underlying grid, many such problems are already solved for you. It becomes obvious where and how elements should and can be positioned, thereby leaving you, the designer, with more time to work on graphic design and other page components.

Ever wanted to take an image and convert it, pixel by pixel, into CSS, HTML, or xHTML? Well, now you can, thanks to my handy conversion tool! Just give it the URL of the image to convert, select a pixel resampling ratio, a mode, and off you go. You can also save the html. Just right click on the permalink and "save target as" to your favorite location.

    * Example: Cambridge, England [via]

Note: If you give a very large image, with a very small pixel ratio, the image could take a long time to load, or eventually overload your browser with multiple megabytes of web information. These "images" are very large!
