Codrops has shared a tutorial: Responsive Retina-ready Menu that teach us how to create a colorful Retina-ready and responsive menu inspired by the colors of the Maliwan manufacturer of the Borderlands game.
The menu automatically changes to one of three different layouts depending on the browser window size: a “desktop†inline version, a two columns tablet-optimized version and a mobile version with a menu link to display and hide the navigation for smaller screens. To make the menu fully retina-ready, we use an icon font so that the icons of the menu won’t get pixelized on resize.

Codrops has shared a Simple Youtube Menu Effect Tutorial, which teach us how to recreate the little menu effect that you can see in the left side-menu on YouTube when watching a video (where it says “Guideâ€).
The menu is made of a little menu icon, a label and a list of menu items that appears when the label or menu icon is clicked. Once it’s clicked the menu icon slides to the right and the label moves up while the list items fade in sequentially. We’ll add some more style and effects to it in order to make it a bit more interesting.

Codrops has shared Fullscreen Layout with Page Transitions with us. Initially, the layout shows four flexible boxes. When clicking on a box, it will expand to fullscreen and the others will scale down and fade out. When closing the current view, it will move back to the intial position while the other boxes come back up again.
Another type of page transition can be seen on the works section where we will show a portfolio item by sliding in a panel from the bottom. The current view gets scaled down and disappears in the back. All effects are done with CSS transitions and controled by applying classes with JavaScript. The whole layout is flexible and some media queries are added to size down things for smaller screens.
