Today I made up my mind to prepare a nice CSS3 experiment. I wanted to create a nice looking environment with a lot of moving elements. As background, I selected a DJ music console. In this demo everything is moved only with CSS3 (without any javascript). I used various css3techniques  like keyframes, animation, transformation (rotation and scale). You're welcome to test it.

So, let's start!

Step 1. HTML

Everything is very easy, isn’t it? As you can see – it contains a lot of different images.

index.html

<div class="vdj">
    <img src="images/back.jpg">
    <img class="v1" src="images/v1.png">
    <img class="v2" src="images/v2.png">
    <img class="v3" src="images/v3.png">
    <img class="v4" src="images/v4.png">
    <img class="s1" src="images/speaker.png">
    <img class="si1" src="images/speaker-in.png">
    <img class="s2" src="images/speaker.png">
    <img class="si2" src="images/speaker-in.png">
    <img class="s3" src="images/speaker.png">
    <img class="si3" src="images/speaker-in.png">
    <img class="s4" src="images/speaker.png">
    <img class="si4" src="images/speaker-in.png">
    <img class="slid1" src="images/slid1.png">
    <img class="slid2" src="images/slid1.png">
    <img class="b1" src="images/but1.png">
    <img class="b2" src="images/but2.png">
    <img class="b3" src="images/but3.png">
    <img class="b4" src="images/but1.png">
    <img class="b5" src="images/but2.png">
    <img class="b6" src="images/but3.png">

    <img class="eq" src="images/space.gif">
    <img class="eq2" src="images/space.gif">
</div>

Step 2. CSS

Now, it's time to style our musical demo. Don’t forget to include our CSS file in the head section of the page.

}

I think that everything should be very easy for you. I used -moz and -webkit prefixes in order to make sure it works in FF and Webkit-based browsers (Chrome and Safari).
