Exploring how to use ::before and ::after to create some fun design elements without any extra markup.
The before and after pseudo elements are great, since they let us add in content without any extra markup. This makes them perfect for adding in design flourishes, since we can do it without creating empty divs.
In this video, I first I look at using them to make a fun thing that can be used on headlines, and the second one a very fun hover effect that was inspired from this codrops article: tympanus.net/codrops/2014/06/...

Very awesome, so glad I could help, and thanks for subbing!

@konraddariuszwoloszyn9206 6 лет назад

As always, Your videos are the top level of professionalism combined with great explanation and a healthy dose of humor. Great job!

@KevinPowell 6 лет назад

Thanks so much for the kind words Konrad, really glad you're enjoying my content!

@fersahahmet9597 5 лет назад

At last I found someone who really knows css and what he is doing. Not mimics some code learnt from some where else. Mr. Powell you ARE a pro. And thank you so much for all the effort putting these video series together

@MrTanguero 3 года назад

Loved all three parts of the series and that link you shared also has some amazing ideas! Thanks a lot, Kevin!

@justinpayne6845 5 лет назад

Thank you so much! After watching this series I now know how to make those little notification bubbles RU-vid has telling how many new videos you have and like facebook uses for new posts and such.

@amysheeter877 2 года назад

You're the best. Just finished this series, and I was trying to do something similar to this on a website I am currently working on but could NOT figure out how to make it look good. This answered all my questions. Thank you for your amazing work!

@octavian3033 4 года назад

Wow!! Watching these videos is like having your mind opened to a new CSS multiverse where anything is possible.

@MVIVN Год назад

I'm still very, very early in my front-end journey but watching stuff like this blows my mind! I can't wait until I get to a point where I am implementing stuff like this into my sites!

@wiecek00 3 года назад

You are providing really great content Kevin. I started watching your channel and learned a lot of new things as well as solidified my knowledge. Thanks for your help and keep up the good work! I already subscribed :)

@adityads1339 4 года назад

Watched all 3 videos that were part of the series. Great content! I can confidently say that I understand ::before and ::after, so much better than before. Thank you so much!!!

@nerozone84 3 года назад

Your videos are great. I just watch any video you have randomly and find a solution to a problem I have in a design. Like in this video, I didn't realise I had to go set box-sizing on before and after psuedo elements. I was wondering why a psuedo element I had wasn't quite lining up the way I expected. Thanks!

@tontonsan3534 5 лет назад

As a beginner, no online course was really explaining what you could do with ::before and ::after and I always thought "I'll get back to it later". Well, I finally took the plunge after your video appeared in my recommended autoplay after watching another tutorial, and I just had to leave a comment because you explain so well, and it is now so easy for me and I feel like you taught me in 1hour what several days of school would have. Thank you and you got a new subscriber :)!

@KevinPowell 5 лет назад

Thanks for the sub Tontonsan, and I'm really glad you like my approach!

@seemsas 6 лет назад

I am more of the backend guy but your videos makes me more and more interested in frontend coding. Thank you!

@KevinPowell 6 лет назад

That's awesome. Backend scares me, lol.

@CliveStephensonCoUkDesigner 5 лет назад

Fabulous Kevin, you have a real skill for explaining things

@joeldcanfield_spinhead 5 лет назад

Another excellent explanation. I think the reason this isn't used much is because it's all a bit abstract until you see examples. I suspect that as we all get more familiar and see more examples, there'll be ongoing creative use of pseudo elements like this.

@KevinPowell 5 лет назад

I almost exclusively use them for design elements. It's actually good from an accessiblity point of view too, rather than adding extra markup that doesn't actually have a purpose other than looking pretty :)

@dyllanmccreary688 5 лет назад

Wow. Watching this series i expected to only learn about ::before and ::after pseudo elements. not only did i learn that but you helped me fix a few issues i was stuck on. thanks guy, great videos.

@KevinPowell 5 лет назад

Very awesome, glad it helped Dyllan!

@philkewley 2 года назад

I had an idea replace a blocky looking footer section with a simple text based section, but that meant finding a way to separate content without using background colours or images - I've watched this video so many times over the years without fully understanding how I could use it. And now today when I needed inspiration and direction I remembered it! So I follow everything on the video and place a 50% height before & after behind h3 text, set the after color to transparent, reduce the height to 50%, give it a 3px border-top and push it down using vh, until I've basically got a horizontal rule with the brand name nicely centred. I even managed to place it all in a centred container so it only takes up 90% width. It looks a lot better than that messy description - Honestly I can't thank you enough for sharing so much knowledge, your teaching keeps me going forwards. Thank you

@marikabasagoitia6828 2 года назад

Thank you so much for this! This really cleared up before and after pseudo elements for me and helped create a really cool effect on a page I’ve been working on.

@aminedrouche5465 2 года назад

You got my brain working 😂 i was thinking with you along the video to find out how to do it. Awesomeness is a fact 😍😍 thank you

@jeffjarvis222 4 года назад

I enjoy your videos. A super-easy way to style the .intro class "Generic Heading" is with grid using grid-template-columns: 1fr auto 1fr. (I learned this by watching your videos about grid, heh). Add a small grid-gap for white space around the text. Now the ::before and ::after elements just need background color and you're done! Keep up the excellent work, Kevin.

@jimdart8219 6 лет назад

Kevin, once again thank-you for the details on how all this works and why. Just had a thought (it happens now and then). Have you ever considered explaining the planning stages for building a website. What goes on before we hit exclamation tab.Thanks again Kevin, you have raised my ability 10 fold.

@KevinPowell 6 лет назад

I sort of talked about it once very briefly in one of my other videos, but I am about to start redesigning my personal site. I'm pretty much in the ideation phase at the moment. I should totally make some videos of what I'm doing and how I'm approaching it.

One of the most overlooked selectors to overcome glitches when working will rollovers. In this presentation (referring to the codepen) its .card:hover .card__text {opacity: 1;} This will target Any element with a class name of 'card_text' that descends from an element that is hovered on with a class name 'card' .
