If you’re willing, even your fingers can be transformed into famous people of your choice, and that’s what the Italian artist Dito Von Tease did for his Ditology project. He photographed his own index ‘dito’, (aka finger) and magically manipulates it into public figures like Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg with astounding accuracy.

There’s one disadvantage though: the portrait will look either too cute or too cool! Check out our 10 favorite picks below and if you feel like making one for fun, there’s an app for that.

Dito Avatar. With this level of accuracy and detail, it’s hard to tell if this really comes from a regular index finger. Dito Von Tease is not (just) another photo manipulator.

Dito Mario Bros. I love how vector designs are created to suit this Mario character. The artist truly cares about every single element that adds to the accuracy.

Dito Mona Lisa. Masterpiece remastered, but how the heck did he re-create the cloth in renaissance style?

Dito Mozart. If you haven’t noticed the similarity yet, here is the photo for you to compare with.

Dito Ronald McDonald. Ronald McDonald’s look always freaks me out, but this one scared me with its seamless, realistic combination between background and portrait.

Dito Mark Zuckerberg. If you use Facebook every day, will your finger start looking like Mark Zuckerberg? Nailed the hair.

Dito Obama. Love him or hate him, you can’t hate Dito Obama.

Steve Jobs. Forget Kutcher, put Dito Steve Jobs in the biography instead.

Dito Tattoo. Quick note: every master work like this takes between 8 and 16 hours.

Dito Wrestling. All these convincing designs and textures makes me wonder if finger people actually exists in real life!

One of the best advantage of print media, like a magazine or a newspaper, over the website is the full flexibility on arranging the pages and the paragraph layout. For example, print media has been able to gracefully flow the content in more than one columns, and even rather complex ones as shown in the following screenshot.

However, due to the way content on the Web is structured, trying to mimic a similar layout in Web content is very tricky.

In order to make the Web layout more flexible like in print media, a new CSS3 Module was introduced – CSS3 Regions. Rather than placing the content within multiple elements, this module allows the content to flow in the specified areas (regions) on the page.

Let’s see how this module works by example.

Enable Experimental Feature

This module is still in its experimental stages, and it is currently only supported in Google Chrome and Internet Explorer with prefix. If you are using Google Chrome you need to first enable the experimental feature. To do so, go to chrome://flags/ and set the Enable experimental WebKit features to Enabled.

Basic Usage Example

In this example, we will have two types of content: main content and complementary. We will place the main content in Region 1, 2 and 4, while the complementary will be displayed in Region 3, as illustrated in the following figure.

HTML

Let’s start off with the HTML markup.

The CSS3 Regions module is not restricted to the content structure, thus we can simply add the complementary outside the main content, like so – though, as we mentioned above, we actually will display it in the middle of the main content.

 <header class="cf"> <h1><span>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,</span> consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut.</h1> <h2>labore et dolore magna aliqua</h2> </header> <article class="cf"> <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.</p> </article> <aside> <p><img src="img/stat.jpg" width="500" height="300"></p> <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.</p> </aside> 

Then, we need to add the regions markup where the content should flow. It does not matter whether we add the markup above or below the actual content.

 <div class="regions cf"> <div id="region-1" class="region cf"></div> <div id="region-2" class="region"></div> <div id="region-3" class="region"></div> <div id="region-4" class="region cf"></div> </div> 

CSS

In the stylesheet, we specify the width and height of the regions. The height is necessary to specify the content breakpoint, otherwise the content will not flow to the other regions.

 .demo-wrapper #region-1, .demo-wrapper #region-4 { width: 100%; height: 250px; } .demo-wrapper #region-4 { height: 400px; } .demo-wrapper #region-2, .demo-wrapper #region-3 { width: 50%; height: 700px; margin-bottom: 25px; } 

To add the content in the regions, we use the new CSS properties flow-into and flow-from. These properties are used to bridge the content and the regions. To flow the content across the regions, we can write the style rules this way.

 article { -webkit-flow-into: article; flow-into: article; } .demo-wrapper aside { -webkit-flow-into: aside; flow-into: aside; } #region-1, #region-2, #region-4 { -webkit-flow-from: article; flow-from: article; } #region-3 { -webkit-flow-from: aside; flow-from: aside; } 

With some additional decorative styles, we will get the following nice result in the browser.
