Process
Working within these constraints, I built a two-part sequence. On the home screen, the book cover scales and rotates open, ending just as the reader application loads. From there, the text fades in, creating the impression of one continuous flow across two systems.
By relying only on scale, rotation, and opacity, the animation stayed performant without losing impact. Approaching animation with these constraints was an eye-opening experience, as it pushed me to think more strategically about sequencing and continuity.
