Workflow & Solutions
Why is this useful?
These are some time saving tricks I use almost daily to speed up the process of animating and creating events for certain builds.
Unit Applications
Great for any animated units, as well as hotspots, carousels, or anything with a lot of hover effects.
Custom Events & Manual Animation

Workflow & Solutions
Why is this useful?
This is useful for quickly copying animations onto other elements or combining elements in an already animated element. Can also be used to convert SVGs into images.
Unit Applications
Great for any animation-heavy build like dynamic feeds, manual carousels, etc.
Converting HTML Elements to Other Elements

Workflow & Solutions
Why is this useful?
Motion paths facilitate creativivity through non-linear animations. They allow animations to look a lot more organic and dynamic. Especially when used in conjuction with masking, scaling effects.
Achieving this without the GWD motion-path feature is otherwise quite difficult and time consuming.
Unit Applications
Great for any animated units that use real world objects such as cars, animals, environments, cityscapes, especially if they are illustrated.

Best Practices for Designing Politically Themed Ads
Clear and Compelling Messaging
-
Simplicity is Key: Ensure the message is clear, concise, and easily understood.
-
Strong Call-to-Action: Encourage immediate action with a prominent and persuasive CTA
- e.g. "Vote Now" "Support Today"
- e.g. "Vote Now" "Support Today"
- Emotionally Resonant: Tap into the emotions of the audience, whether it's hope, urgency, or patriotism.
Visual Appeal and Consistency
-
Branding: Use consistent colors, fonts, and imagery that align with the political campaign's branding.
-
High-Quality Images: Utilize high-resolution images and avoid clutter.
- Contrast and Readability: Ensure text is easily readable against the background with good contrast.

Best Practices for Designing Politically Themed Ads
Creative Best Practices
- Advertisements are free of explicit language
- Advertisements are free of any violence or explosions
- Advertisement is free of any personal attacks against an opposing candidate or political party
- Audio advertisements also require appropriate audible disclaimers/disclosures
Disclaimer
- Advertising contains appropriate disclaimers and advertiser disclosures
- Ex. “Ad Paid for by [CANDIDATE]”
- Ex. "Ad Paid for by [ORG] and authorized by [CANDIDATE]"
- Ex. “Ad Paid for by [ORG] and not authorized by any candidate or candidate’s committee"
- Ex. “Ad Paid for by [CANDIDATE]”
