Targeting unique CSS styles is a simple process based around media queries. Web designers have been using these techniques for years to much success. Yet in just a short couple of years recently stylesheets have grown in tremendous popularity. Now more than ever it’s important to offer not only mobile but print layouts for your visitors.
I’ve put together this small guide for beginners to quickly craft a print-based design. There are standard concepts and layout techniques you should utilize for quicker loading speeds. You also need to be conscious of page length when the design is printed on paper.

The Winter is about to kick off with a bang! We’re well into December now and at this rate we’ll be looking at a cold white Christmas. And what a better way to capture this feeling than with illustration work? Many designers on Dribbble have already picked up the holiday cheer and posted some very seasonal shots.
Check out my recent gallery of snowy winter illustrations below. I hope these can inspire the designer within you to create your own works of Winter-time art. If you have other examples we’d love to check them out in the discussion area.

As the sun sets on another day we all begin to feel a sense of peace and tranquility. I can attest to this, especially coming from a small town which drops silent by nightfall. But it’s not just the calming sun energy, as even photography can express the emotion at this wonderful time of day.
I have collected a set of 36 beautiful moments in sunset photography which stand out from the rest. These are some of the most prominent shots which feature beautiful light displays in the sky and throughout the cityscape. We can all appreciate the allure of our sun considering it affects our global population as a whole.

I am a particular fan of the jQuery UI library and have been following the team since it’s release. It features dozens of examples of how to pull together the best animations from such a small library of code. However in a lot of websites these days we are seeking to limit dynamic JavaScript blocks. As such CSS3 has become an important staple with building dialog boxes.
In this short tutorial I’d like to go over the process of building a simple fade-in dialog box. This may contain a signup/login form, input buttons, or even just a message to your visitors. The technique is pristine and gaining adoption in the sphere of web developers everywhere.

The art of crafting pixel-perfect website layouts can take many years to develop as a professional. One such area to focus on is the photograph-based backgrounds you see throughout many portfolio and company websites. Full-page photos often work well in a wallpaper-type display ported onto the web.
There are many styles and variations of this technique, as it has been adapted through the years. But I have collected 23 of my favorite websites boasting fullscreen backgrounds for this gallery. The trends are still growing and have managed to hold onto their concepts for some time. If you know of websites we may have missed please share links and let us know your thoughts in the discussion area below.

These are websites rendered in mobile browsers which have specific templates in place for these devices. Check out my examples below if you’re in need of creative ideas for your own design.
