Crafting a Cutout Collage Layout with CSS Grid and clip-path
On Codrops there’s a tutorial on how to create a Cutout Collage Layout using CSS Grid and Clip Path. The result looks quite nice I must say: What I’m not too excited about in this implementation is the fact that it requires you to manually cut up the image into parts beforehand, even though clip-path […]
Chameleonic Header
Ever had a fixed header that had to work with both light and dark content shown underneath it? Keep an eye at the header in the video below to see what I’m talking about: As explained over at CodyHouse, here’s how it’s done: This effect uses the clip-path CSS property. The idea is to have […]
A JavaScript Typing Carousel

CSS-Only Direction Aware Hover

Internally it looks like this: Note […]
CSS Transparent and Outlined Text
For a recent project we did at work I needed outlined text. Using text-shadow you can achieve the desired effect, but one must admit: it’s ugly. Some browsers however (Webkit) support the text-stroke property which gets a much nicer result. Here’s a demo pen: See the Pen CSS Transparent and Outlined Text by Bramus! (@bramus) […]
Emoji Silhouettes and Emoji Outlines with CSS
From StackOverflow: It’s possible to include Emoji characters in modern browsers, but how can one make it a single color and choose that color? Using an (inset) text-shadow in combination with transparent text color this indeed is possible: With some more CSS – and an extra attribute – it’s possible to even achieve a (faux) […]
