The Web Designers Lounge Vol. 4

******************************
Here on dA we have so many web designers but little did i know that we had so many big names here that design stuff for like NBA stars and whatnot! My god i'm new to dA!

Apart from the traditional design schemes, this week has seen some new attempts at creating a new scheme. I am also glad to see that people are actually starting to submit stuff for the showcase although till now i did not find stuff worth featuring. What i look for in a design are not fancy graphics or flashy colors or effects but how different that design is from the rest that i've seen till now, when i find a design i have'nt seen before, i go ahead and feature it and this process takes place every 5 minutes on dA!! So its virtually impossible to feature all of them so go ahead and make my day, submit some designs!

Tips/Tricks/Hacks

Dissolving Image Rollovers

I just fell in love with them the first time i saw them! When done with the right timing and the right buttons, they create magic!

If you dont know what i'm talking about then take a look at this page:

The Inspiration Gallery

Hover over the buttons on that site and you'll know what i mean.. Not only does that site has that cool effect but also its a really nice site for finding resources for your web pages so have a look at it for things other than the rollover effect

Ok back to the topic! So i spent nearly a day trying to figure out how that was done, this was about a year back when i was really new to web design and did not know that i could just take a look at the source.. lol..

But to make work easier for my fellow designers, i'm helping you by providing you with everything you need to integrate that effect in your webpages.

The script is written in javascript but you dont need to know javascript in order to understand it. Its as easy as copy and paste.

Have a look at the script by following the link below:

Javascript Dissolving Rollovers

So with these two resources for you people, i hope to see some new inspirations next week and its an order!
