Piccalilli Newsletter - Issue #31

Welcome

नमस्ते! 👋

It’s a very dark day here in the U.K. so this issue is very needed. That’s because this issue is going to make your eyes smile, so get a cup of tea and settle into a collection of incredibly visually pleasing links.

If you’re enjoying reading this newsletter as much as I’m enjoying creating it, please share it with your pals. It’ll be really appreciated if you do.

Enjoy!

Featured Article

Re-creating the ‘His Dark Materials’ Logo in CSS

This is really cool by Michelle. Lots of clip-path and custom properties to get your teeth stuck into!

These sort of fun demos are a great way to nail down modern CSS techniques.

Fancy

The Deep Sea

This is bloody brilliant by Neal. It’s super fun and also features loads of cool stuff to learn about the sea 🌊

Pitch

The branding and illustrations of this site are outrageously good. I love the huge headings.

Masking GIFs with other GIFs

When Cassie first showed me this, my jaw nearly fell off. It’s a really smart trick but the whole composition of this demo is just outstanding.

Video

Animate Text on Scroll

This is great by my pal Stephen from The Keyframers.

A nice fast-paced tutorial with a very fancy, modern trick.

Resources

Happy Hues

This is both a really good resource and also a stunning website. I absolutely adore the look and feel of it.

Great work by, Mackenzie.
