Display Images with Shape Masking and Nifty Zoom Effect with jQuery

we are going to show you how to mask images with shapes plus some nifty zoom animation effects with just HTML & CSS. I have seen this kind of styling and effect in many portfolio websites and let me show you how it's made.
HTML
To make it easy to understand, I have made an image to illustrate what each layer does.
<div class="shape"> <a href="{URL}" class="overlay {round|hexagon|pentagon}"></a> <div class="details"> <span class="heading">{TITLE}</span> <hr /> <p>{DESCRIPTION}</p> <a href="{URL}" class="button">VIEW</a> </div> <div class="bg"></div> <div class="base"> <img src="{IMAGE URL}" alt="" /> </div> </div>
In case you need the fonts I used in this tutorial, here is it:
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Abel' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'> <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto+Slab' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'> <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto+Condensed:400,700' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
CSS
We don't have Javascript in this tutorial. We use :hover pseudo code and also CSS animation to do simple mouseover and zooming effects.
Here is the portion of code that does all these animation effects:
.shape .overlay { display:block; width: 310px; height: 310px; position: absolute; top:-5px; left:-5px; -webkit-transform: scale(1,1); -webkit-transition-timing-function: ease-out; -webkit-transition-duration: 0.6s; -moz-transform: scale(1,1); -moz-transition-timing-function: ease-out; -moz-transition-duration: 0.6s; transform: scale(1,1); transition-timing-function: ease-out; transition-duration: 0.6s; z-index:500; /* allow user to actually perform actions underneath this layer */ pointer-events:none; background-repeat: no-repeat; } ...... /* hover effect */ .shape:hover .overlay { -webkit-transform: scale(1.07,1.07); -webkit-transition-timing-function: ease-out; -webkit-transition-duration: 0.3s; -moz-transform: scale(1.07,1.07); -moz-transition-timing-function: ease-out; -moz-transition-duration: 0.3s; } .shape:hover .bg { -ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=80)"; filter: alpha(opacity=80); -moz-opacity: 0.8; -khtml-opacity: 0.8; opacity: 0.8; display:block; } .shape:hover .details { -ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=100)"; filter: alpha(opacity=100); -moz-opacity: 1; -khtml-opacity: 1; opacity: 1; z-index:450; display:block; } ......
