‘The Egg’ Animated Web Comic

Personal Project

May 28

I adapted the short story “The Egg” by Andy Weir into a fully responsive web comic using HTML, CSS, JS, and Procreate.

For my senior creative project in college, I decided to combine my two interests, web development and illustration, into one ambitious project. My goal was to explore how interactive animation can enhance storytelling. I was inspired by this website → https://www.sbs.com.au/theboat/ and its use of scroll-triggered elements to create an immersive reading experience.

Using my elementary coding knowledge and the wonderful GSAP JS library, I was able to create simple animations triggered by the user’s scroll.
