NEW GENERATION OF GREETING CARDS
Hi Contra Riverinos!
For my challenge submission I present you the new generation of greeting cards!
Instead of sending a typical e-card, you can now send an animated, fully interactive greeting card.
We used Data Binding across the file structure to allow change based on user input and preferences, to unite artboards with shared properties, to bind text changed at runtime, image binding for a photo uploader!
View Models were a game changer, making it easy to bring external animations into a base file. Layouts feature ensured every card looks great on any device.
All cards were animated in Rive and I illustrated some myself.
Rather than explain more, I’ll let the video do the talking.
So what are you waiting for? Watch the demo and visit Giftly for the full experience.
Thank you! It is funny because before I started messing with Data Binding I saw your comment on the ambassador chat saying how much easy Data binding made things in Rive and I thought "yeah yeah, sure" and with this project I realised it was really true XD
Hahaha, I can totally relate to that because I had my own journey with Data Binding too. It feels like you invest time upfront to get everything set up technically, but in the end, it's worth it because you get the rewards of that time multiplied.
Oh don't stress over it, I didn't notice any issues. Of course if you think it could be a little slower, next time you can slow down a little as you know ;)
