Content slider with Zoom Effect for a predefined area in each slide


Content slider with Zoom Effect




Zoom Slider





Today’s Blueprint is a simple content slider with depth-like zoom functionality. Each slide has a predefined zoom area that will be used to calculate the appropriate scale value for a fullscreen fill. Once the icon for zooming is clicked, the zoom area as well as the page get scaled, creating the illusion that the viewer is approaching the item. Once the whole page is covered, we show some more details.



Navigating the slider will animate the inner parts of the slide, allowing for an independent control of the image area and the title. We are using CSS transitions and dymanic.js for moving the slide elements. Dymanic.js by Michaël Villar is a JavaScript library to create physics-based animations.







Please note that we are using a couple of modern CSS properties, so only contemporary browsers are supported.

Bouncy Content Filter for big Website

This space-saving content filter allows the users to switch from one category to the other in a fancy way! Each click fires the rotation of the gallery images, revealing the items belonging to the selected category. Content filters  are particularly useful for big websites, where each pixel counts. Lets say you are showing the “ last products ” of your e-commerce . How about giving the users the option to switch to the “most popular” products without a page refresh? A good solution could be to hide the “most popular” items right behind the “last products”, then use the power of CSS3 3D Transforms to rotate the items when the user switches from one option to the other. The bounce effect is optional, but you get the idea! The rotation won’t work on older browsers like IE9, but the experience won’t be broken – just a display on/off with no transitions.
