jQuery Image Wall



View demo   Download source

Today we want to show you how to create a neat image wall with jQuery. The idea is to scatter some thumbnails with different sizes on the page and make a ribbon slide in when we click on the picture. The ribbon will show some description next to the picture and when clicking again on the thumbnail, the ribbon will close and open again with a large version of the image.

Today we want to share another jQuery menu with you. This menu will have several panels, each one corresponding to a different background image that will show on all panels when we hover over a panel label. Also, a submenu will slide out from the bottom. This menu comes with some configuration possibilities, such as the size of the image, the hover effect and custom default states.

Thumbnails Preview Slider with jQuery

View demo   Download source

In this tutorial we will show you how to create and use a thumbnails preview slider with jQuery. Since we got a lot of requests to show how to make the preview slider work separately from the full image view, we decided to make a tutorial on how to use the little thumbnails preview part only.

Check out the Sweet Thumbnails Preview Gallery where me make use of the thumbnails slider idea.

The images are by talented tibchris and you can find them on his Flickr photostream:

So, let’s start with the markup.

3D Wall Gallery

View demo   Download source

Today we want to share our latest experiment with you: the 3D Wall Gallery. Using the Safari browser the images of this gallery will be put into 3D perspective, when scrolling or sliding. When viewed with another browser, the gallery will be shown normally, retaining all the functionality.

For seeing the 3D effect, please try the demo in Safari.

Summarized, you can do the following things in this gallery:

  • Hover an image to see a description
  • Slide through the images using the jQuery UI Slider at the top
  • Use the mouse wheel to scroll through the images
  • Use the thumbnail previewer at the bottom to choose an image
  • Use the hash anchor for the image in the URL to get to it directly
  • Click on an image to slide it to the left (notice the hash anchor in the URL)
  • Turn it into a 3D wall when scrolling/sliding (Safari users)
  • Flipping the perspective when changing the slide/scroll direction (Safari users)

We are using the jQuery hash change plugin by Ben Alman:

And we are also using the jQuery Mousewheel Plugin by Brandon Aaron:

The beautiful photography is by Alan Antiporda from Illusive Photography and you can find his Flickr Photostream here: Illusive Photography Photostream



When viewed in the Safari browser, you will see the perspective happening while scrolling or sliding. When changing the direction of scrolling, you will notice that the perspective will tilt to the other side.



You can navigate through the images by either using the jQuery UI slider at the top or your mousewheel.



You can also use the thumbnails previewer to click on an image and get to it directly.



When hovering over an image you can see a little description at the top.

We hope that you enjoy our little experiment and find it useful!

Fullscreen Gallery with Thumbnail Flip





View demo   Download source

In this tutorial we will create a fullscreen gallery with jQuery. The idea is to have a thumbnail of the currently shown fullscreen image on the side that flips when navigating through the images. The big image will slide up or down depending where we are navigating to. We will add navigation controls for the mousewheel and for keys. The thumbnail will have a zoom and and a fullscreen option, making the image in the background appear in fullscreen mode or as a complete image, resized to fit in the page.

We will be using Flip!, a jQuery plugin by Lucca Manno that flips elements.

And we will also be using the jQuery Mousewheel Plugin by Brandon Aaron.

The beautiful images are by talented Polina Efremova. Visit her website and check out her profile on Behance.

Let’s get started with the markup!
