Personally, I am a huge fan of negative space in design. This got me thinking while I was trying to accomplish something different. Normally a textual caption would be positioned above a background, but I wanted to do it the other way around: place the background in the letters.
I also wanted to add some nice dynamic effects to enhance the effect. This was amazingly easy to accomplish in jQuery with the use of a little creativity.

This article will explain what you need to do create an effect like this yourself.

Cycle is a script that supports image presentations to easily display multiple images. This script supports a lot of effects and the cycling of html elements.

Presentation Cycle is a variation on the functionality of Cycle. Instead of generating a list of numbers that are clickable Presentation Cycle generates a progress bar that shows when the new slide will appear.

In this article I’ll explain how to implement this on your web page and give you some tips on how to adjust the looks of the cycle elements and progress bar.

There is always a minor problem when it comes to preloading image on a website. Nobody really has a full solution for it. There are a lot of preloaders available, but most of the time they only display the words: “Loading page” or have an animated image that spins. Why can’t there be a nice loading bar of some kind?
I’ve gotten a few request on how to make a preloader, or people asking me how to get all the images of a web page and preload them (even the images in CSS).

This preloader has it all. Loading bar, custom animations and getting all images included in the web page.

It’s time for another jQuery script from Gaya Design. This time I created an interactive menu, which can be used in CMSes, applications or just on your own website.
This post will show you how this script works and how to apply it in your own environment.

There hasn’t been a jQuery tutorial / script on Gaya Design for a while. This is because I’ve been working on this particular script for a while and have a lot of other scripts in development.

sNotify is a script which is particularly handy for people who are developing web applications. sNotify allows the developer to display notifications in a fast and easy way.
