Students learn how to import projects, create narrative structures, storyboard, output for various devices and problem solve moving image concerns.

CSS vs Jquery vs JS 

for Animations

CSS

  • More performant, but less feature rich
  • Separate state (click, hover, etc.) from animation
  • Good for common uses cases across platforms
    • show/hide
    • slide toggle
    • 2D effects
    • Basic 3D effects 
  • CSS also has animation libraries

javascript

Concept: States & Events

States

jQuery events

`click()` and `toggleClass()` methods
Use jQuery’s `click` event to-toggle-classes-on-off. 

* Pen: [`click` event]
* Pen: [`toggleClass` method]
* Pen: [Toggle Class on Click]

Concept: TRansitions

Pens

Transitions on Pseudo Classes
CSS `transition` properties can be applied to any property with a numerical value. 

 

* Do it manually first.
* What is the first frame? What is the last frame?

Future forward

...after Web Design 2 (and Web 3).

Modern animation libraries

  • Greensock
  • Velocity.js
  • Snap
  • SVG.js
  • Map SVG
  • ...and many many others. 
  • Search for:  "SVG Javascript"

PurE CSS. No Javascript.

CSS animation features are still being developed. Ideal situation is all animations in CSS and states/events in JavaScript.
