Why Take This Course?
Next time pay close attention when you smash the “Like” button on a YouTube video. Note how it literally moves up before releasing some positive red energy vibes. Or pull out your Google App and give it a voice command. Those pulsating color bars, like the YouTube thumb, are both examples of micro-interactions or animations that give users valuable feedback while making the digital experience more of a joy. You may be new to the world of animation, but we’ll show you what’s involved and have you creating your own in micro-interactions in Figma.
