Vancouver Web Workshop - Designing Motion for the Web
FEBRUARY 8, 2012 from 8:00AM–4:00PM
Designing Motion for the Web
with VAL HEAD
There’s a million ways to make things move for the web these days and an overwhelming amount of new techniques and possibilities. We’ll look at how to get the most out of your transitions and animations by going beyond just start and end points and applying our design eye to those ever important in-between parts. That’s where the real power of animation lies.
What can we borrow from traditional animation? What can we learn from past web mistakes? And what makes animating UI elements a special case that we need our own rules for? We’ll be answering these questions and more! This workshop aims to give you a jump start in current standards for animating for 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 solid examples for you to take home. And we’ll also spend time on the why and how behind our animation decisions too.
Requirements: A laptop is strongly encouraged, general working knowledge of HTML and CSS, Javascript shouldn’t freak you out.
