Anthony Zinni shows you how to give warmth and dimension to your web design projects by creatively layering textures

Learning CSS and how to use it effectively can be a reasonably easy thing to do for a beginning web developer. In the hands of a seasoned professional, CSS can be stretched and pushed it to its limits where it can seem complicated and yet perfect at the same time.
Being able to adapt to new ideas and different techniques, as well as seeking new solutions to old problems is part and parcel of being a web designer.
