I&#8217;d love to dive into them more and create sites specifically designed with CSS animations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From what I learned, it seems there are endless ways to make objects on your page move without JS. Of the properties that I learned, keyframes was the easiest to understand. I&#8217;ve worked with animations on my digital portfolio in Webflow so could see the similarities in how to accomplish the same thing in CSS. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Parallax<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Parallax is one of those things that seem to be on every webpage nowadays, and with good reason\u2014it looks great! I enjoyed learning about parallax because I know I will be using it in future designs. It&#8217;s modern and adds extra flair to your site. I learned to be careful in how often it&#8217;s used, as it can take away from content if you&#8217;re not careful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Parallax would be perfect for a photographer or someone who wants to showcase a lot of images. The caveat is you would need to also understand how to properly optimize images so that they don&#8217;t take too long to load. Prof. Mead also mentioned that you are essentially forcing people to download images, so be cautious of how many you are using if they don&#8217;t add value to your site. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Project<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For my final project, I&#8217;ve decided to go with Option 1, which was part of our midterm project. We created four one-page designs for desktop, tablet portrait, tablet landscape, and mobile in Figma. I&#8217;m curious how I can make what I created come to life in HTML &amp; CSS. I want to follow the project all the way through. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My  midterm project is a spa site, and is already created in Figma. I am happy with what I came up with, but excited that I have another opportunity to create something entirely different with the second site I need to build. I&#8217;ve chosen to do a catering business because food brings me joy and I can envision the site being totally different from the original spa page, giving me some more creative license to do as I please. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CSS Animations This week was tough as the CSS animations could easily take up an entire semester on their own.
