You can find a lot of advice regarding color schemes, layouts, and other suggestons from "web design gurus" - they are about design. Naturally, we should follow basic design criteria, but the fact is, nobody but us, can make our sites very individual, very personal, and very different. Visual or special effects can be good, bad, or ugly. Interesting visuals, or special effects that don't override content but complement it, are good. A very elegant "Image Reflection" effect caught my eye today when I was browsing around the Internet, and I would like to share my findings with you. The script that is used to make this "reflection" effect is freely distributable under the MIT-style license.

Just don't drop the copyright notice from the script. reflection.js - reflection.js is a cross platform script which allows you to add reflections to images on your web pages. I found this script at cow.neondragon.net |
