45 Degrees of Awesomeness: The Ultimate Guide

Rule #1: The 45-Degree Mandate

Everything must be tilted at precisely 45 degrees. Use CSS transforms on ALL elements.

• Headers should lean like a drunken sailor
• Images must be rotated to face the viewer at 45 degrees
• Even your text shadows should be at 45 degrees

Rule #2: The Gradient Gambit

Gradients are your friends. Use 45-degree gradients everywhere. Double gradients for extra flair.

Try this on your background: background: repeating-linear-gradient(45deg, #800080, #800080 10px, #0080FF 10px, #0080FF 20px);

Rule #3: The Comic Sans Conspiracy

Never use Arial. Always use Comic Sans MS. Even for corporate websites.

Text effects must be over-the-top: text shadows, outlines, and glowing text.

Rule #4: The Marquee Menace

Marquees aren't dead! Use them to scroll your most important message across the screen.

Try this: <div class="marquee">... scrolling text ...

Rule #5: The Animation Anarchy

Try this on your button: animation: pulse 2s infinite;

Rule #6: The Easter Egg Enigma

...adding this to your markup: <div class="easter-egg" id="easter-egg">YOU FOUND THE 45-DEGREE GOLDEN FOOL'S GOLD!</div>
