iPhone Gift Ribbon
I recently spotted an iPhone ad which inspired me to write this tutorial. It is a gift ribbon, consisting of various app icons, wrapped around an iPhone. This effect can be easily achieved with Photoshop Warp transform tool.

You may probably notice that I haven’t been updating Brand X Creative for a while. I’ve been working very hard on a new project called Themify , a premium WordPress theme shop. It is a collaboration with Darcy Clarke , who is an amazing developer. Each theme is packed a framework and bunch of custom widgets . With the framework, you can apply theme settings, style everything, apply skins, and import/export the setting data. Let me know what your thoughts. Also, don’t forget to follow us on Twitter @themify .

For those of you who been reading my blog should be familiar with ZURB . They are the guys who created those fantastic web apps — Bounce , Notable , and Verify . If you read online tutorials a lot, you may have probably stumbled upon their Playground before where they post various CSS and Javascript tutorials. Today, I’m happy to have ZURB here at Brand X Creative to talk about their team and work.

I’m talking about Flash of course. Take the comic strip below as an example. It was animated with BannerSnack and output as a SWF file. Click to play it.

The other day I was trying to style CSS3 border-radius to image element and I realized that Firefox doesn’t display border-radius on images. Then I figured a way to work around it — wrap a span tag around with the original image as a background-image. Thanks to Darcy Clarke for the jQuery code which does the magic tag wrapping automatically. View Demo Rounded Images (more…)

Inspired by the CargoCollective and David DeSandro’s site, I asked my Twitter followers ( @nickla ) on how to do the scrollto posts with jQuery.

The script finds your current view position and scroll to the next or previous post accordingly. Check out the demo to see what I’m talking about. View Demo Scrollto Posts (more…)
