CSS3 is one of the coolest new web technologies available to web developers right now. Using some of its many features, it is possible to reproduce the effects that you might have previously done in Photoshop, with CSS code that is more maintainable, faster to load, and hip with the latest trends. Read on to learn about the power tools available to you and how to combine them to produce the ultimate graphical effects.
CSS3 has many features, but some of them are imperative to learn if you are going to be reproducing Photoshop-like effects. I call these my “power tools.” They include the following:
- Border Radii
- Box Shadows
- Text Shadows
- Gradients
- Multiple Backgrounds
Each of these features can help replace some of the images that you might have created in Photostop in the past. By doing this, you are making your website more maintainable since you can change a property just by changing your CSS file rather than editing an image in Photoshop. You are also making your website load faster since images use a lot of bandwidth. Let’s explore these features one by one.
