This piece is divided into two main parts: That’s why at the end of this piece you’ll start building your first SVG graphic, animate it, and possibly add it to your portfolio or other projects. This creates the fade-in effect of the fill.If you have never used SVG in your frontends, you are missing out, and you are missing even more if you don’t know how to animate it. All we need to do for the last keyframe is raise the alpha value of the fill colour. Fill in the shape to finish the SVG animationįor the last part of the animation, we will fill the shape in white. Both parts of our SVG will start as hidden when the page loads, so let's use CSS to set both element's opacity to 0. We use our classes to select those elements within the SVG. Selecting our SVG elements in CSS is the same as any other element.

This means you can animate different shapes of the image at different times, creating a more complex effect. Add classes to the SVGĪdding classes to the SVG allows CSS to select the individual shapes within the image. If using bootstrap, give the SVG the class img-fluid to make sure it scales on mobiles. Paste the optimised SVG code into the second column on the page. We're using our animation to make the introduction at the top of the page more interesting. To liven the page up, use a second, static, SVG as a background on the body tag. Add a header and two columns: one on the left for some text, and one on the right, which will hold the SVG that we'll be animating. Now, let's build the bones of our layout and make a space for our SVG.
