How the LIFT animations were done

Uncategorized 1 Minute

I love this! Much more fun than the last post.

In between the talks at LIFT there were some really great animations up on screen. I asked the graphic designer, cristiana bolli-freitas of the Bread and Butter mixed media agency, to explain how she did it. This video is what results.

I love that they started with a little smilie face on my blog (only shows up in some browsers) above that is put there by WordPress.com to help track traffic.

Look at what Cristiana did with that smile, though!

  7. It’s easy to find out why the smily is used for stats – just right-click it, select “Properties” and see that the location of the image is “http://stats.wordpress.com/…”

  13. The smiley is our image tracker for the WordPress.com stats system. When we wrote it we decided it’d be nice to have something that spread a little joy tracking the stats than just a transparent gif.
