Summary
In issue 61 of t3n magazine, our designer Vicky writes about how designers can create web animations without any code and quickly integrate them into websites.
Lottie is a plugin for creating vector-based illustrations and easily integrating them into websites—without designers needing to learn a new tool. The animations can be created using Adobe After Effects and then exported as lossless JSON files. Lottie also excites developers, as the performant code can be easily implemented with the Lottie Web Player. A win for both sides!
Lottie has become an incredibly useful animation tool for me. Not only can you create scalable animations with simple tools, but you can also easily implement them on the web. Sharing this know-how in print form with other designers was an exciting experience.

How to: SVG Animations
Small animations are like the fine spices of a dish - they add the finishing touch to a website and invite users to interact. But they often remain an unfulfilled nice-to-have, banished from the project scope. There are many reasons for this: the effort involved, the software skills required and the performance of the web project. But there is a solution that elegantly overcomes all these hurdles: SVG SMIL animations.
