Crafting Unique CSS Shapes with Reverse Curved Corners

Hello fellow designers and developers! Today, I'm excited to share an intriguing CSS technique that allows you to create eye-catching shapes with reverse curved corners. These shapes can add a touch of elegance and creativity to your web designs. Let's dive into the tutorial:

HTML Structure:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>CSS Shapes with Reverse Curved Corners</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
</head>
<body>
    <div class="shape-container">
        <!-- Add your content here -->
    </div>
</body>
</html>

Now, let's create the mesmerizing CSS shapes:

/* styles.css */
body {
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: center;
    height: 100vh;
    margin: 0;
    background-color: #f0f0f0;
}

.shape-container {
    width: 200px;
    height: 200px;
    background-color: #3498db;
    position: relative;
    border-radius: 50%;

    /* Add the reverse curved corners using pseudo-elements */
    overflow: hidden;
}

.shape-container::before,
.shape-container::after {
    content: "";
    position: absolute;
    width: 100px;
    height: 100px;
    background-color: #fff;
    border-radius: 50%;
    transform: translateY(-50%);
}

/* Reverse curved corner on the top-left side */
.shape-container::before {
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
}

/* Reverse curved corner on the bottom-right side */
.shape-container::after {
    bottom: 0;
    right: 0;
}

In this example, we create a container with class .shape-container, which serves as the canvas for our CSS shapes. By setting border-radius: 50%, we create a circular shape.

The two reverse curved corners are achieved using pseudo-elements ::before and ::after, styled with circular backgrounds and absolute positioning. By using transform: translateY(-50%), we move each pseudo-element to its appropriate position while maintaining the circular shape.

You can further customize the size, colors, and positions of the reverse curved corners to fit your design aesthetics.

Now you have a stunning CSS shape with reverse curved corners, ready to elevate the visual appeal of your website or project. Feel free to experiment and combine these shapes creatively to design unique and captivating layouts!

Have fun crafting and designing! 🎨✨
