Thumbnail Proximity Effect with jQuery and CSS3

Today we want to show you how to create a neat thumbnail proximity effect with jQuery. The idea is to scale thumbnails when hovering over them and also scale their neighbouring thumbnails proportionally to their distance. We’ll also make a description appear.

This is based on a request we once got from a reader who asked if the effect on http://porscheeveryday.com/ could be achieved with jQuery. This is our attempt to recreate the basics of that effect.
