Custom Animation Showcase | Website + Dashboard + Mobile Apps

Overview

This case study showcases a series of custom animation projects created using Jitter, custom JS to enhance user engagement, support brand messaging, and optimize visual storytelling across various platforms.

In each animation project, the goal was to create dynamic visuals that effectively conveyed the client’s message while maintaining brand consistency. Jitter provided the ideal platform for delivering efficient, high-quality motion graphics. Each animation contributed to improving user engagement, storytelling, and overall brand presence.

Process for Custom Animation Work

a. Client Discovery & Briefing

Understanding Client Needs:

For each project, the initial step involved gathering detailed requirements about the client’s goals, target audience, and intended platforms for the animation.

Discussions centered around the desired animation style (e.g., smooth motion, illustrative elements, kinetic typography) and any specific branding elements (logos, colors, fonts).

b. Asset Collection & Creation

Assets Sourcing:

For each animation, the necessary assets (logos, illustrations, icons, etc.) were gathered or created.

In some cases, custom illustrations were designed in tools like Illustrator or Figma before importing them into animation software.

c. Animation Concept Development

Storyboard & Motion Planning:

Each animation began with storyboarding or visual planning to map out key scenes, transitions, and motion sequences.

I collaborated with the client to refine the visual narrative, ensuring it aligned with their brand tone and objectives.

d. Animation Execution

Setting Up Projects in Jitter:

All assets were imported into the animation platform, organized into layers, and prepared for animation.

For each project, motion was applied to elements (e.g., scaling, fades, bounces, or text animations).

The timeline and keyframes were adjusted for precise control over timing, easing, and transitions to ensure smooth animation flow.

e. Iteration & Client Feedback

Review Process:

After creating an initial animation draft, I shared the project with the client for feedback.

Based on client input, any necessary revisions were made—adjusting timing, transitions, or adding new elements to better align with the brand’s message or style.

f. Final Delivery & Optimization

Exporting Animations:

Upon approval, the final animation was exported in multiple formats based on the client’s needs (e.g., MP4, GIF, Lottie for web use).

File sizes were optimized for different platforms to ensure fast loading and smooth playback.

Deliverables were provided in a ready-to-use format along with guidelines for embedding or sharing across digital channels.

g. Post-Delivery Support

Implementation Assistance:

In almost all cases, I assisted with embedding animations onto websites or social media platforms.

Offered support for future updates or revisions based on evolving needs.

Project - 8 Interactive Button Animations across different websites :

Overview

In the digital age, the subtle nuances of user interface design can significantly impact the user experience. Buttons, as primary interactive elements on websites, play a critical role in guiding user actions. This case study explores various interaction animations for buttons, aimed at enhancing user engagement and providing intuitive feedback.

Hover Effects :

1. Colour Change:

- Implementation: The button changes color when hovered over.

- Impact: Provides immediate visual feedback, indicating the button is interactive. This simple change can significantly enhance the user’s understanding of clickable elements.

2. Scale Up:

- Implementation: The button slightly enlarges on hover.

- Impact: By increasing in size, the button draws attention and clearly indicates its interactivity, leading to higher click-through rates.

3. Shadow:

- Implementation: A drop shadow appears on hover.

- Impact: Creates a 3D effect, making the button appear elevated and more prominent, which improves visibility and user engagement.

4. Border:

- Implementation: A border appears or changes color when hovered over.

- Impact: Provides a clear visual cue that the button is active, enhancing the overall user interface’s visual hierarchy.

Click Effects

1. Press In:

- Implementation: The button appears to be pressed inwards when clicked.

- Impact: Simulates a physical button press, providing tactile feedback that reassures users their action has been registered.

2. Fade Out and In:

- Implementation: The button briefly fades out and back in on click.

- Impact: This transient effect indicates that the button has been successfully pressed, enhancing user feedback without disrupting the visual flow.

Transformations

1. Flip:

- Implementation: The button flips to reveal additional information or options.

- Impact: Adds an element of surprise and interactivity, which can make the user experience more engaging and informative.

2. Morph:

- Implementation: The button changes shape, such as from a rectangle to a circle.

- Impact: Indicates a change in state, providing visual feedback that can signal different actions or modes, making the interface more dynamic.

Text Effects

1. Slide In:

- Implementation: The button text slides in from the side on hover.

- Impact: Adds movement to the button, making it more engaging and drawing attention to the text, which can improve readability and user interaction.

2. Underline:

- Implementation: An underline animation sweeps in from the side or center.

- Impact: Emphasizes the button text, making it clear that the button is interactive and enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal.

Icon Animations

1. Spin:

- Implementation: An icon within the button spins on hover or click.

- Impact: Adds a playful element to the button, making the interaction more enjoyable and attracting user attention.

2. Pulse:

- Implementation: The icon pulses or grows slightly.

- Impact: Draws attention to the button and signifies its importance, encouraging users to interact with it.

3. Swap:

- Implementation: The icon changes to another icon.

- Impact: Indicates a change in state or action, providing clear visual feedback and enhancing the user experience.

Microinteractions

1. Shake:

- Implementation: The button shakes slightly to indicate an error.

- Impact: Clearly signals to users that an action is invalid, helping to prevent errors and improve usability.

2. Glow:

- Implementation: The button glows softly when hovered over or focused.

- Impact: Draws subtle attention to the button, making it stand out without being overly intrusive, thus enhancing the overall user experience.
