With the ability to change elements in form and over time, in such to be able to create animations, a lot is added to what a page can be. For any of the properties to be mentioned here, it is important to include vendor prefixes to maximize browser support. This means for each transform, transition, and animation property created, a copy for each vendor with its appropriate prefix attached should be created.
Prefixes:
-webkit- -moz- -o-
Example:
-webkit-transition-property: background;
-moz-transition-property: background;
-o-transition-property: background;
transition-property: background;
The transform property has two major settings, 2D and 3D. Among these, there are different values.
2D Values:
Scale, Translate, and Skew can be X-axis, Y-axis, or combined comma-separated notation.
3D Values - All axes can be changed:
Another property for consideration when rotating on a 3D plane is backface-visibility. This property allows us to hide an object if it becomes fully turned around away from the screen.
The variations offer a lot of capabilities. The various forms could allow for responsive tabs, links, and other navigations within a page, giving a page an interesting style.
To activate CSS styles for an element, the easiest way is to use pseudo-class elements, :hover, :focus, :active, and :target. Transitions are a morph, from one state to another. The great advantage of CSS transitions on websites is how they increase engagement. Certainly, they are dazzling. This has a positive impression on visitors.
Types of transitions:
Using transition as shorthand, all of these can be combined into one, in the aforementioned order, each separated by a space.
Here is a popular list of alterable properties which can be used in transition-property:
Note, when listing multiple properties to alter, understand that the order is significant for other such properties, such as having multiple transition-duration entries.
Unlike transitions, animations allow for multiple changes, in keyframes.
To set an animation, the @keyframes selector can be used. Follow “@keyframes” with a unique name upon creation. Herein, the different keyframes can be set, at different percentages of animation. To call the animation property in another element, use the animation-name property, with the animation style name as the value.
Example:
.stage:hover .ball {
animation-name: slide;
animation-duration: 2s;
animation-timing-function: ease-in-out;
animation-delay: .5s;
animation-iteration-count: infinite;
animation-direction: alternate;
}
Here, “animation-iteration-count” sets if it is a loop, and “animation-direction” determines if it is a forwards and backwards loop.
Building a team that works together is important to maximize the team’s effectiveness and ultimately, success. Knowing how to organize a team, conduct meetings, and generally steer team dynamics is what leads to such success. The important factor discovered by Artistotle in their research at Google illustrated that team psychological safety is what leads to success or failure.
What are three key factors that contribute to psychologically safe teams?
The three factors that I saw were creating a culture of dependability, allowing freedom to explore, and the ability for people to express themselves openly. With these factors, the group can have flowing discussions.
Evaluate, with details, a previous professional setting (or team) you were in with regards to psychological safety.
The last professional team I was on was limited in this factor. There was some ability for the leader to accept ideas and expression privately, but once in a group setting, he would shut anyone down. It seemed he was more interested in keeping norms or indicating to everyone that he is the leader. As team members, I feel dependability was good among some, poor among others.
What impact do teams that operate with a high degree of psychological safety have on their company and the team members?
The result of operating with psychological safety is a team that is creative and productive. A team that shares ideas, knowledge, and experience is one that works as a mastermind. By fully engaging all neurons on a team, a true mastermind is created.
I. What kind of tools are out there which can make creating these transitions and animations easier and less manual? I can see these being very useful for any creation that I might come up with, offering some great effects to content.
II. I would like to know how many places earnestly implement the idea of psychological safety in a group. I feel it is a critical piece of good leadership. However, many leaders in my experience are lacking in leadership skills.
