Chapter 1
When doing some digging on animation I found out that animation has a similar definition when defined but depending on what type of animation for specific projects. The frist definition found is from Alyssa Maio's article, What is Animation? Definition and Types of Animation, which states, "Animation is a method of photographing successive drawings, models, or even puppets, to create an illusion of movement in a sequence" (Maio, 2020). This definition is a very generalized version of how everyone would see as classic animation. The second definition is from Science Daily, which states, "Computer animation is the art of creating images via the use of computers, which is a subfield of computer graphics and animation" (2021). These two definitions have on thing in common which is that animation involves movements of an objects. Animation is movement of objects that creates art forms whether it relates to being used via computers, for films, etc.
In the above video and picture they showcases the use of web Animation of the website of American Eagle (2021). The animation is mainly used with text and images that fade in and stay in one place when once the user has moved onto another section of the website. Also, the picture above has pictures within the website are in a slideshow format that move to the left. The contrast and alignment of the text is repetitive throughout the website and the proximity is between each section. There are more pros for the animation chosen then cons but the pros are that the text is within each section and is consistent throughout the page and that it is accessible for people to use.
