7 Sliding Backgrounds Tutorials to Catch a New Trend

Full photo backgrounds were claimed to be a trend for 2013 at the beginning of the year (the prophet’s article). The forecast was true, indeed. Nevertheless it wasn’t full enough.

Recently I met a lot of websites and templates with fashionable full or large photo backgrounds, and I noticed a certain tendency: they more often contain such remarkable feature as sliding backgrounds. Yes, the large image backgrounds are sliding the same way the pics in boring mainstream banner sliders do. Sometimes the sliding mechanism for backgrounds is influenced with parallax scrolling effect, giving more motion and depth to fashionable flat designs. I think that the best explanation is a practical one, so let me show you couple examples: one and two.

Sliding backgrounds definitely look cool, don’t you think? Well, if you agree with me, my efforts are fully renumerated, because in this post I gathered for you 7 clear sliding backgrounds tutorials. Enjoy.
