A workshop on making the most of your standards-based transitions, animations and interactions.
A workshop with Val Head
Friday October 5th, 2012
9:30am to 4:30pm
It seems like there are a million ways to make things move on the web these days, which makes the why and how behind your animations even more important! In this workshop we’ll look at how to get the most out of your transitions and animations with CSS3. Then we’ll add JavaScript into the mix for even more powerful options.
Get a jumpstart on current standards in animating and adding motion on the web as well as a solid foundation for the design thinking behind them! We’ll get our hands dirty with some code (CSS and JavaScript) and some solid examples for you to take home. We’ll also spend time on the ‘why’ and ‘how’ behind our animation decisions and discuss what works and what doesn’t.
Some Things We'll Cover
- Evaluating animations and transitions from a design perspective
- Easing
- Animating with CSS animations and transitions
- Comibing CSS and JS animations - building more complex animations and handy tricks
