Design simple animations for use on your website.
Simply create the line drawing, preview it in a web preview page, and then export it as an email attachment that you send yourself.
Youll need to save the attachment along with a helper file that you obtain from gitHub. With both those files saved on your computer in the same folder you can open the HTML with your web browser and celebrate your new found animation skills.
1./ Draw the animation (there are a few simple settings you can use to alter how the animation will appear).
2./ Press "Preview" to see the animation (and the effect of your settings).
3./ Press "Export" which creates an email so you can send it to yourself.
4./ Save the email attachment, along with the Airbnb helper (instructions for how to obtain this and set it up will be included in your email).
5./ Open in your local browser to enjoys. When youre happy, send the HTML that (was automatically created) to your development team for deployment into your website.
Done.
