It seems to be the rage now to have these spooky gradual popup pictures as on that page. I think it's Flash. I'm not sure I like them, what do you think? I think it takes control away from the visitor. I'm not sure what the advantage is, apart from if the site owner does not want the visitor to save the images.
Though I think they are used well on Laurie's site RadiantNude, where they include navigation features.
Actually, the image magnification effect is normally done in JavaScript alone. Personally, I like it.
ReplyDeleteThat RadiantNude site looks very nice. Congratulations Laurie.
I see this as a fad. Thanks to OSX and now Vista, a lot of people are discovering the wonders of alpha-channels, which allow transparency in graphics.
ReplyDeleteThis in turn has motivated the writing of many free java snippets, which are used by web designers all over.
I think Matt's site looks great!! I love that you can just click on the image after it opens for the next pic. www.matttorrens.com Click the gallery to see what I mean.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting, I love the art:)
