The website parallax effect is a computer graphics technique in which the website background moves slower than the foreground. What Is the Parallax Effect in Web Design?

Contrary to reports elsewhere, Flash's latest update easily brings the traditional power of flash to the somewhat plugin free HTML universe. The project will next be assembled in Flash CC. This project will be assembled first in Google Web Designer, which is a new application designed to create motion for interactive banner ads. Some text will slide across the screen and a clickable button appears. The animation starts with the ground slowing moving in one direction, the clouds moving a little quicker in another direction, and an airliner flying into the scene. So what's the plan? The first project will involve a banner ad for a mythical airline. This will be accomplished by using blurs in Edge Animate. To really seal the deal, you can add the illusion of depth to feel by applying subtle blurs to objects as they seem to go out of focus and the objects behind them come into focus. We will be exploring this technique as we create an animated banner ad using Google Web Designer and Flash CC. Put those three together and you have simulated depth. And the foreground image, the log, moves even faster. The mid-ground, the abandoned mill, moves a little quicker. The background layer in this example here, the rock facing the sky, moves rather slowly. Typically the technique requires three images or layers that are in motion. But as you saw during our short drive along the Trans-Canada Highway, you need to pay attention the world around you. Creating parallax motion is not terribly difficult. This is the technique we will be exploring. As the camera would seemingly move into and out of an image. Though scrolling can be regarded as motion it is not exactly in the same league as the technique Ken Burns used to bring grainy Civil War movies to life in his PBS series, The Civil War. As you scroll one page seems to slide over the other.

In this example, a site for the movie Life of Pi, all you need to do is rotate the scroll wheel of the mouse to navigate through the various pages of the site. On the web parallax scrolling is all the rage. If you look at the sky and the hill in the background their movement is even slower still.

The foreground seems to zip along while the trees on the other side of the pond don't move as fast.

Pay close attention to this video that was shot along the Trans-Canada Highway. If you've ever driven in a car you have experienced parallax.

Parallax is an optical illusion that gives an otherwise flat 2D image the illusion of depth.
