Paths of Design

We’re seeing a very large push on the acceptance of technologies such as HTML5 and CSS3, and rightfully so, they offer things that are leaps and bounds above what we’ve settled with for so many years now. Pioneering companies like Apple, are throwing their weight  around and marketing this stuff like hot cakes, hoping the mainstream user as a whole will see the benefits, and upgrade their browsers.

I thought this was a really good illustration on not only the power of CSS3, but the practicality of it. This demonstration attempts to recreate 3 popular Flash ads using only CSS3. You must have a newer WebKit browser for this to work (Safari 4+, Chrome 5, Mobile Safari), but degrades very nicely.
