Ambient animations in web design: Practical applications (Part 2)

Yours truly over at the Smashing Magazine: “Ambient animations are subtle, slow-moving details that add atmosphere without stealing the show. In part two of his series, web design pioneer Andy Clarke shows how ambient animations can add personality to any website design.”

Ambient Animations In Web Design: Principles And Implementation (Part 1)

Yours truly over at the Smashing Magazine: “Creating motion can be tricky. Too much and it’s distracting. Too little and a design feels flat. Ambient animations are the middle ground — subtle, slow-moving details that add atmosphere without stealing the show.”

Smashing Animations Part 4: Optimising SVGs

Yours truly over at the Smashing Magazine: “What’s the best way to make your SVGs faster, simpler, and more manageable? Andy Clarke explains the process he relies on to prepare, optimise, and structure SVGs for animation and beyond.”

Smashing Animations Part 3: SMIL’s Not Dead Baby, SMIL’s Not Dead

Yours truly over at the Smashing Magazine: “Now, you might’ve heard that SMIL is dead. However, it’s alive and well since Google reversed a decision to deprecate the technology almost a decade ago. It remains a terrific choice for designers and developers who want simple, semantic ways to add animations to their designs.”
