Web Design Trend Showcase: Big Video Headers

Following on from my recent showcase of websites featuring full screen videos, today’s post looks at the sub-trend of big video headers in web design. HTML5 and jQuery make it easy to add dynamic video content to your site without bogging down the browser with Flash. This means designers can start to play with video as part of a website design as well as its content. This post showcases some great examples of video background headers, followed by some links to help you create the effect yourself.
