1. Image Splitting Effect with CSS and JQuery


In this tutorial we are going to make an image splitting effect. What’s that? It’s similar to a sliding door effect where the image slides to left or right side and reveals the text behind it, but the thing that makes this different is that the effect looks like the image is split into half and one goes left and the other one goes right.

3. Polaroid Photo Viewer with CSS3 and jQuery

Placing images on simple Polaroid’s on a webpage simply did not do it for me. I wanted to drag them around, rotate them and still have a fun time. That is where CSS and jQuery come in play. By combining the CSS3 Box Shadow and Rotate properties, this effect is relatively easy to create.
