Animation for Beginners with After Effects Since Disney’s hand-drawn animation, nothing has changed when it comes to the basic principles of animation. The success of Disney was not just in the design of Mickey and friends but in the way the characters were put into motion. At Saturday’s Ycademy Seminar we will explain the 12 Principles of Animation and see, how to apply them with After Effects. 1. Slow in — slow out Acceleration and deceleration is created with Easy Ease in and out functions is AE. The effect creates fluid motion. 2. Anticipation Anticipation designs the action leading to the actual movement, like the backwards swing before hitting a ball with a golf club. Anticipation prepares the viewer for the action which will occur. Surprise actions can be more effective without anticipation. 3. Squash and Stretch Squashing and stretching blows life into a volume. The rule is, not to change the volume while designing the effect: a vertical squash goes with a horizontal stretch. 4. Arc Objects tend to move along an arc, rather than along straight lines. In After Effects we animate along a path. 5. Straight Ahead Action vs. Pose to Pose Straight Ahead Action refers to [...]

Original Article at How to Style the WordPress Menu.WP Custom Menu with Rollover Effect This tutorial is based on a recent Custom Photo Blog Theme Development for WordPress on the base of Semiomantics XO. The Solutions apply to most any clean WordPress theme whereas some of the style sheet syntax may vary from theme to theme. The WP Photo Theme — XO Photo The Goal of the exercise was to build a site which will display on mobile platforms as well without the use of WPTouch Pro for example and which offers the possibility to navigate without zooming on mobile phones. This gave us the opportunity to style the Main Navigation (horizontal menu on top of the site. As we are on a photo site we thought about using Menu tabs with images and rollover effects which can be achieved either with sprites or as individual images. We opted for a solution without sprites in this case considering that the difference will not be material on this site. The screenshot shows the rollover effect as it has been taken while the mouse was hovering over the CONTACT tab. The Menu Normal View and the Hover View show the same picture, whereas we put a transparent black layer (85% [...]

I wanted to test excessive visualization on Semiomantics XO for WordPress. Visual Features on Semiomantics XO For the purpose of the exercise we have loaded a java based large image slider (980 x 278 pixels) in addition to the featured default slider. Then we have added a flash driven Cubing 3D slide show, slicing images up to 50 times. To round up the picture, we just added a YouTube clip. Above the top of the page and below the next section just underneath the menu: Surprise, surprise, the page opens and loads smoothly (a fast line is an advantage of course) and best of all: YSlow returns an A 91 score in spite of the visual exuberance. Conclusion Properly configured and coded, Visual Elements hardly harm the performance of XO 2011 by Semiomantics.
