Question

I’d like to be able to add a class to images that adds a border that makes them look like a stack of photos. Anyone know how to do this?

Clarifications: Ideally something like the stack shown here but it doesn’t need to be interactive and only needs to work for a single photo. I also don’t mind using javascript if needed (jQuery would be preferred though).

Answer 1

The ‘depth’ affect is probably going to be some type of drop shadow. Do you need to rotate the photos as well for the ‘messy photo pile’ effect or are you looking for a ‘neatly stacked’ look?

The ‘messy photo pile’ effect seems to me to break down into three components:

1. Put a background behind the image for the ‘polaroid’ look (explained in other comments
2. Put a drop shadow behind the image for the ‘depth’ effect (explained above and in other comments
3. Rotating images. I’ve never done this myself but it looks like someone has coded the Jquery plugin you are looking for.
