On the old Flash page, there may have been a valuable idea for movement or presentation of the offer. It can be redeveloped, separating the sense of animation from outdated playback technology.
Describe what animation was meant to explain
Did it show the process stages, transition between products, device construction or just entry into the page? Save its role and the most important moments. Do not start by playing every second if some of the effects no longer serve the current content.
Flash Player's end context describes guide for upgrading the old siteThe starting point of the new project should be today's terms of use, also on the phone and without intense traffic.
Prepare a simple script
Set the initial state, change and result. In each phase, indicate the text, image and action of the recipient. This allows you to evaluate the idea even before selecting the execution technique. A short sequence of illustrations can explain the process better than a long presentation preceding the offer.
For example, the installation animation can show three important stages, with a description also available outside the movement. The user should be able to view an interesting part without waiting repeatedly at the end of the entire sequence.
Select how to execute to function
A simple change in the position of the item, vector illustration, film and interactive model have different applications. The choice should take into account focus, amount of data, editing ability and necessary interaction. Not every long-term scene requires a full three-dimensional model or film.
Prior to implementation, the answer:
- whether the content is understood without animation;
- whether the recipient has an impact on the course;
- whether movement does not move the read text;
- what the version on a small screen looks like;
- what happens when the animation is limited;
- who will later update the descriptions and materials.
Test in a ready environment
The effect viewed separately may look good, and in conjunction with the banner, menu and other animations overload the page. Check the entire section and the way to the offer. Remove the move that draws attention from the user's task.
Behaviour of character does not require copying of the old structure. It is important to consciously recreate meaning and aesthetics. Related topics: Old page style after modernization and readability and hierarchy.
