Big Picture by HTML5 UP html5up.net | @ajlkn Free for personal and commercial use under the CCA 3.0 license (html5up.net/license) This is Big Picture, a simple, single page responsive site template by HTML5 UP. So I've been on a single page kick as of late, partly because I'm lazy, but mostly because they kick ass for experimentation. In this case, Big Picture makes heavy use of my (tentatively named and soon to be released) "scrollgress" and "scrollwatch" jQuery plugins to pull off some interesting effects as you scroll around the page. In addition to said interesting effects, Big Picture also includes a nice lightbox-style gallery, styling for basic page elements, and thoroughly commented code for your editing pleasure (with instructions! -- see below). Many thanks to my good friends Felicia Simion (ineedchemicalx.deviantart.com) and Michael Domaradzki (md.photomerchant.net) for allowing me to use their amazing photos in Big Picture's demo*.

Instructions: Overview: Being a single pager, Big Picture should be way simpler to work with than some of the heavier stuff I've released in the past. In fact, aside from a main page <header> and <footer>, it's pretty much just a stack of "main" <section> elements that follow the same basic pattern: <section id="foobar" class="main"> <div class="content container"> <header> <h2>Foobar</h2> </header> ... </div> </section> The section can then be assigned a style class to determine its basic look (and, in some cases, its behavior): style1 Centered content with an oversized <h2>. Works best when paired with a background image or color. style2 left Content in a box, anchored to the left side of the window. Works best when paired with a background image or color. If you have "useSectionTransitions" turned on in your settings, the box will slide into view from the left. style2 right Content in a box, anchored to the right side of the window. Works best when paired with a background image or color. If you have "useSectionTransitions" turned on in your settings, the box will slide into view from the right. style3 primary Used for generic content. Set against the primary background color (default is white). style3 secondary Used for generic content. Set against the secondary background color (default is a light gray). Oh, and there are a few (well, two) optional modifier classes you can tack on for additional effects: dark Flips the content's color scheme so it shows up better against darker background images and colors. fullscreen Makes the section fill the entire window (only if "useFullScreen" is enabled in your settings). Lightbox Gallery: The actual gallery function is powered by my Poptrox plugin. For info on how that works, go here: github.com/ajlkn/jquery.poptrox Rows: The structure of the gallery is a skel grid. Each row looks like this: <div class="row flush images"> <div class="6u">...<div> <div class="6u">...<div> </div> The "Xu" class indicates the width of the cell (in this case, both are 6). You can use any number of cells and any combination of widths provided their combined widths add up to exactly 12. So, if you needed, say, three images in a row, you can do something like this: <div class="row flush images"> <div class="4u">...<div> <div class="4u">...<div> <div class="4u">...<div> </div> You can also use a "-Xu" class to "nudge" a cell over by that much, which comes in handy if you need to place just one image on a row and you want to center it: <div class="row flush images"> <div class="6u -3u">...<div> </div> Which translates to "make this 6 wide and nudge it over to the right by another 3". Images: Each image (the '...' bit in the above examples) should look like this: <a href="path/to/fullsize.jpg" class="image fit from-(direction)"> <img src="path/to/thumbnail.jpg" title="This is the image caption." alt="" /></a> </div> The "from-(direction)" class indicates the direction from which the image should slide into view, and can be any of the following: from-left from-right from-bottom from-left You can also just remove the "from-(direction)" class if you don't want that particular image to slide into view (in which case it'll simply fade in). Contact Form: To get this working, place a script on your server to receive the form data, then point the "action" attribute to it (eg. action="http://mydomain.tld/mail.php"). More on how it all works here: 1stwebdesigner.com/tutorials/custom-php-contact-forms Icons: Powered by Font Awesome. Go here for a full listing of all the icons you can use: fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/cheatsheet Other Stuff: - If you don't like the way images are tinted, either change "images/overlay.png" to something else, or remove all references to it from css/style.css. - If you plan to keep support for IE8 (what little there is), don't forget to update css/ie/ie8.css as you change other stuff.
