IMAGE CUTOUT, PARALLAX EFFECT: CSS + SVG
This works on desktop/laptop, but not on mobile. Make an SVG cutout of the same background color as your background. Make a parallax background with CSS. Use the same proportions as your SVG. Place an img
of your SVG inside the HTML for your parallax div
. Align and size parallax background as you like. Don’t forget to make things responsive!. Made with HTML / CSS by Alex O’Neal.
