Designer's Notes
The creation process for this interactive web experience involved drafting the icons and arrangements in a notepad, followed by designing the buttons in Adobe Illustrator. A HTML webpage was then developed and styled using CSS. JavaScript was utilized to enable the animations and transformations of the buttons, bringing the interactive elements to life. The seamless integration of these components resulted in a captivating and educational web experience that effectively showcases the different design principles.
