SVG Essentials and Animation for Web Prototyping

Static layouts often fail to communicate how a digital product should actually feel. Designing with Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) allows you to build lightweight, responsive, and highly interactive prototypes directly in the browser. This text-based course guides you from the absolute basics of SVG structure to creating fluid, animated user interface prototypes. You will learn how to write clean SVG code, manipulate shapes, and apply modern CSS and JavaScript animation techniques to bring your web designs to life. What you'll learn: - Understand the core structure, syntax, and elements of SVG documents - Design responsive vector shapes and paths that scale perfectly across all screen sizes - Apply CSS transitions and keyframe animations directly to SVG elements - Implement basic JavaScript interaction to make your prototypes dynamic - Optimize SVG code for performance, fast loading times, and web accessibility - Practice building low-resolution interactive prototypes to quickly test user flows You will start with foundational vector concepts and basic XML syntax before moving into styling, layout, and modern animation workflows. Through step-by-step written explanations and practical code examples, you will build a solid toolkit for interactive web design. This course is designed for web designers, front-end beginners, and product creators who want to build interactive prototypes without heavy software. No prior SVG or animation experience is required.
