At first it looked like the usual blog by a designer. And then I began scrolling.</p> <p>Somehow, each post is a central floating image each with its own fixed bacground which reveals itself as it scrolls. it’s almost like each post is its own site within one page of the blog. And the outcome? INCREDIBLE. I have no idea how it’s done and the mystery itself is as satisfying as the look. I’m in awe, go look.</p>http://heatherellis.co.uk/post/667984638http://heatherellis.co.uk/post/667984638Sun, 06 Jun 2010 01:38:20 +0100webcodedesign<p><img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l3fs2lzM9D1qzhnw2o1_400.png" alt="Typefaces by Moustache" width="368" height="521"/></p> <p><strong><span> </span></strong></p> <p>Really cute little poster I stumbled across today.
