Button Animation Tip for Interactive Documents

4

One of the best parts of my job is when folks send me their favorite InDesign tips and tricks. Even better is when they send me videos of tips and tricks! Recently Michela Di Stefano sent me a video showing a cool tip for directing the viewer’s attention to interactive elements in digital documents. It involves animating small buttons to move back and forth in a loop, either vertically or horizontally. Simple and effective. In the video below, Michela demonstrates the technique.

    Funny, I used this in a different way, but same technique to create a ‘bounce back’ effect, example here:
