It is way too late

March 26th, 2008

So, I’ve decided that if I don’t some where I’m never going to do this so why not start in the middle of the night when your eyes feel like they are going to burst into flames any time soon and everything in you screams to turn the monitor off. Right?

Well, I was checking some RSS feeds that a good buddy of mine, Josh Brewer, decided to share with me via Google Reader and happened to notice the PSDTuts Tutorial on creating a 3D Shelf design like the one on Dragon Interactive’s website.

So naturally being the Web nerd that I am went and checked out DI. It is beautiful. It is definitely far from perfect considering that the CSS definitely does not validate, but it looks like the whole thing was done with Flash but it is strongly supported by some Gnarly AJAX. They have developed their own method of applying gradients and shadows to different elements like text. I really liked the idea of having selectable, searchable and scalable text that you can spruce up with this process.
