The end of the month is coming closer and you know what it means: Part 2 of this months imagedump is there! Here's a small collection of the best, funniest or coolest images from May 2008.

Don't forget to check out part one in case you missed it. Enjoy!

A couple of days ago I placed an article about a parallax illusion with CSS: The Horse in Motion. Today I'll show you how I created such an image so you can do it yourself.

In this example, I'm going to use Photoshop for the actual image and Illustrator for the 3D effect. I wanted to try something else instead of the "frame by frame" (Like the Horse in Motion). Be creative! The final example (demo of the effect) looks pretty amazing and maybe even better than my previous one.

Time for some fun with CSS and optical illusions. For those people that are feed subscribers for a while, will know that I really love optical illusions. I already wrote several articles with optical illusions (15 cool word illusions, Illusion of a 3D dragon and more), and now it's time to create one myself with the help of CSS.

One of the optical illusion video's that I saw a while ago, was the example of the book called Magic Moving Images. The video clearly explains how this optical illusion works and I really liked it.

I wanted to recreate the effect of the illusion with the help of parallax and CSS. Chris Coyier wrote an article about Starry Night: Incredible 3D Background Effect with Parallax. This was the foundation of the effect of an optical illusion.

Check out the demo page with can be created by combining those two awesome techniques.

I guess you've seen them all. Articles like 25 MORE Reasons You Might Be A Hardcore Graphic/Web Designer, You Know You're Addicted To Photoshop If... and 24 Checkpoint Signs You're Obsessed With Web/Graphic Design. All are great (and somewhat funny and true) articles, but how do you know you're not addicted to design?

So you think you're not addicted to (web)design? Here's a check-list in random order.

Using forms in a website to let the user register is pretty common these days. But what happens when you want several input values of the same subject? It's pretty ugly to make 20 fields with "I can speak the following languages:". Those users that can only speak one or two languages would leave a big empty space and would have to scroll down a lot. Those users that can speak more than 20 languages can't input everything they want.

In this example, what you want is that the user can give an input and dynamically expand the form. This can be achieved with the help of JavaScript and here I'll show you how.

This isn't going to be a long article, since I don't have much to tell about this technique. Just check out the demo, look at the code and learn for yourself. I added comments to make it a bit more easier.
