Tick tick tick

The EMC 2013 E3 event site is a pretty cool example of a nice one-pager. Two features stand out here: the visually arresting scoreboard-style countdown ticker and the full-width google map with the overlaid text. Check them out on this archived version of the site:

The Ticker
The scoreboard ticker is powered by the jQuery Countdown widget by Keith Wood and a some carefully coded CSS3 custom built by yours truly. The ticker scales down seamlessly using largely percentage-based CSS rules. SASS was a big help here allowing me to use algebraic formulas to dynamically set sizing properties for each of the scoreboard digits.
..and More!
The site also features a dynamically sizing Google map, sticky top nav and animated scroll triggered by the nav links. All in all it was a fun site to code and turned out looking great.
Harmonic Northwest did the development on this one while Opus Events provided the design, copy, etc.
