Where Would You Like to Live Today? (ELC #356 - Animated Masking and Cutout Effects in E-Learning Design)

Aug 31

In this e-learning challenge, I used a cutout/masking technique to transform a simple background into an interactive experience. By cutting out the “window” of a house background, I created the illusion of looking outside at different global locations. Learners can click on one of the framed pictures on the wall to instantly change the view outside the window, making it feel like they’ve been transported to Paris, London, Sydney, or Toronto.
