Overview
This talk will dissect a few web animation failures and the lessons learned from using a mash-up of techniques. It also places emphasis on a designer-mentality to animation resulting in an inseparable relationship between motion and layout… the sweet spot where badassness happens.
Web animation has dominated conferences for the last few years. It is no surprise given Google’s push with Material Design and the amazing strides the industry has made in animation-rich mobile apps. Front-end developers are hungry to provide more value than just arranging boxes and text on screen. Users have come to expect UI animation as a standard.
