Animation

For this project, I was tasked with creating an animated hero section using Figma components and prototyping. I decided to go with an Arctic theme because it was the middle of winter and the images were from a set I found on Freepik.

After downloading the set and extracting it, I brought the file into Illustrator, where I separated each character and element, placing them on their own artboard. I did this not only for organization but also in case I didn’t want to use all of them. From there, I exported each one as an SVG and brought them into Figma to create my design.

Once I was happy with the design, I started duplicating characters that I wanted to animate. I did this to ensure I knew where everything would go once I finished prototyping. Three major animations I created were the whale jumping, the walrus moving to and from the seal, and the narwhal popping out and then waving.
