How to create a Site of The Day

Merry Christmallax deconstructed – Screencast

You’ve asked for the code snippets of the Merry Christmallax and in this post I share with you a screencasts related to CodePen examples demonstrating how the site was put together.

The First section – The Sketched Tree

In the first set of the screencasts I am deconstructing the steps taken to build the sketched version of the tree.

You will learn:

  • How I did export the assets from Photoshop
  • How were the assets optimised
  • How I positioned them on the page
  • How to set the right skrollr data attributes
  • How to work out the right timing for scrolling animations.

See the Pen Merry Christmallax – Skrollr.js animation by Petr (@ihatetomatoes) on CodePen.4864

1. From PSD to HTML, CSS [13:37]

2. Skrollr data attributes explained [13:12]

3. Skrollr fade in/out animations [10:10]

Conclusion

If you have enjoyed this deconstruction, you will find other useful info in The Making of Merry Christmallax ebook.

I would also love to hear your feedback on my first screencast/CodePen combination. Have you find it useful? Or did I miss something?

Please leave a comment. That will help me to make even more useful content for you in my future posts.

    First time I worked with skrollr.js I ragequit because the data-attributes just didn’t make sense to me (beyond simple animations). This tutorial has been very helpful–especially in combination with CodePen. Thank you so much!
