Tried creating a realistic page-flipping animation for a digital booklet in Jitter.
I’ve been experimenting with 3D Orbit, pivot positioning, front-and-back page setups, and different rotation techniques to get the page to flip naturally from one side to the other.
Still refining the details, but I’m enjoying the process of exploring motion design and bringing my editorial/print design work into a more interactive format.
A small experiment, but a great learning experience. 🚀

The pivot work gives the page flip convincing weight.
Excellent work

I just joined Contra and I’m still figuring out how things work around here, so I thought I’d introduce myself instead of quietly lurking.
I’m Mariya, founder, strategist and lead designer behind Mariya Design. I’ve worked internationally since 2015, and today I run a boutique branding studio focused on brand identity systems for premium and luxury-led brands.
Most of my work sits somewhere between identity, packaging and the wider system around them. I’m particularly interested in what happens after the logo: how typography, color, packaging, digital applications and brand rules actually hold together as the business grows.
One project I’ve been revisiting recently is SAE-REN, a premium beauty and wellness identity system. I’m currently rebuilding some of my case-study presentation system, so it felt like a good one to share here first.
And since I’m genuinely new to Contra, I’d love to hear from people who have been active here for a while:
What actually helped you become part of the community here?
Was it sharing work regularly, joining conversations, applying to opportunities, or something else entirely?
Any early mistakes worth avoiding are welcome too.
great designs..
@LottieFiles hit me up to create five animations using their new Lottie Creator - an SVG animation tool with state machine capabilities, giving you the ability to make your animations interactive.
First one's a gradient stress test 🌈 I wanted to create a glass sphere that actually feels dimensional, with color shifting inside and outside as it rolls 🔮
Vector-based gradients are usually where things get messy - flat colors, harsh transitions, zero depth. So I layered multiple blurred color fields with varying transparencies to fake that soft, glowing quality you'd normally only get from raster work.
More from this series coming soon!

The glow feels spot on.
