Species In Pieces won the “Website Of The Month” award from CSS Design Awards website in March 2015. Its Web designer Bryan James explains how he put together this demonstration of the power of CSS Masking in the browser:
In Pieces is an interactive exhibition of 30 of the world’s most distinct but, sadly, endangered species. [...]
In Pieces started as experimentation and tinkering in code, not a grand plan for an interactive piece to help conservation, as romantic as that notion sounds. I remember reading about the
polygonproperty of CSS’clip-pathin mid-2014 and learning of its amazing potential. A few months went by and I was surprised not to see it used much on the web, probably eclipsed by the attention given to SVG, canvas and WebGL. I felt thatclip-pathprovided an opportunity to dive into something untouched and explore what could be made from it. At the same time, creating a project in pure CSS felt (rather ironically) cutting-edge.
