Creating sliding composite images
Create the appearance of a single image by layering multiple images on top of each other. The pieces can slide around the page as its width is changed, making it a perfect technique for liquid layouts.
Hiding and revealing portions of images
It’s possible to dynamically “crop” both background and foreground images as the layout changes in width, solving the problem of overflowing fixed-width images in a flexible page.
Foreground images that scale with the layout
Simple CSS techniques can make the content images inside your liquid or elastic pages scale with the layout.
Updated flexible design inspiration
I’ve updated my original post on sites to explore for flexible web design inspiration.
Living, breathing design comps
Presenting static image comps to clients can be especially problematic if you create flexible layouts. Try building an (X)HTML/CSS version of the design to show to your client instead in order to make designing and creating flexible layouts easier.
