Contest Brief

I require a HTML5/SVG animation of people riding a motorbike with 4 different versions, for use as a hero image on a website. The end result should be 4 different HTML files including SVG vector graphics with minimal CSS animation.

1. A lightly animated illustration of a person sitting on a motorbike, stopped but revving his engine
2. The same bike but now it's riding along slowly and has 2 people on it
3. The same bike but now with 3 people and a box or crate strapped to the back, riding faster
4. The same bike but with 5 people, 2 boxes and some chickens, riding very fast

Your design should be minimalist, lightly coloured and with subtle animation. See the links below for an example of the style and implementation that I'm after, but with a bit more detail. Also, the animationist needs to have a sense of humor. The overloaded bike is a common (daily) sight in SE Asia and the idea is to bring at least a smirk to my visitor's face.

This is an example HTML5/SVG/CSS animation:

Here's some examples of overloaded motorbikes:

This is the sandpit page that these animations are for:
https://cambo.host/homepage/

Take special note of the space available and consider the balance of the page above. You have the usage of this area: https://jpg.dog/i/pA6JX
Also note the placement of the hero image in the 4 slides will be the same with a cross-fade effect on slide change. The idea is to demonstrate the speed/capacity/performance differences between the product categories.

WORKFLOW RECOMMENDATIONS
- Since images 2, 3 and 4 will be based on image 1 it would be best to start there. Focus on the design of the moto; a typical scooter or small cafe-racer style bike similar to a Honda Dream or Honda Win.
- The animation needs to indicate speed, so think about making those wheels spin and something else to indicate movement. This could be exhaust, a road in the background or even a rocket booster!
- The person(s) sitting on the bike should have some basic facial features and should be noticeably happy. Remember there's lots more people and things to get squeezed onto the bike in later slides!
- We're aiming for a typical overloaded motorbike, not daredevils or bad drivers so no texting while riding and everyone should be wearing a helmet :)
- The guide above is a guide. If you feel like adding a bag of vegetables, some rattan furniture or something else then go right ahead!

SUBMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS
Just work on image #1 to start with and impress us with your design skills and attention to detail. If you get a 5 star rating then go ahead and get creative with the rest of the images and the animation; you're on the right track!

    Can something more interactive be done? Something for example where the person clicks and another person gets on the bike. Another click and two boxes appear on the bike. can be done with svg and javascript. Something like that is welcome?

      We're pretty flexible. Check out the link to the page the animation will go on and note the "slide" controls along the bottom. There's a ~10 second timer that switches slides if the controls down the bottom aren't used.

    Pls provide the color code of the web page(blue color) so that the animation can blend into the webpage(looks better)

    I'm going to participate. but to make an svg animation I see it a little less functional. (the animation would be very limited) has not thought of a gif or a .mp4 video? It would give more freedom to the animators to make more humorous and quality ideas.

      Thanks for contributing! Although MP4 is possible, it's not as snappy or modern as we'd like. You're welcome to submit as an MP4 but for the end result we need an SVG graphic that can have parts of it animated (like a spinning wheel). The contest description has been updated with much more information.

    How long should the duration be between each scene?

      The scenes will cross-fade between each other as part of the web page transitions, so the end result should be 4 separate files

    Haha, I live in Phnom Penh and see this every day, this is a great contest. You might have trouble getting an SVG animation created here though, you might want to stick to a GIF or MP4.

      We sell servers which is rather boring, so we figured a bit of humor to break the ice will go a long way. I'm no expert, but I would have thought it wouldn't be too hard to export an illustration as SVG then give it motion with HTML5.
      GIF is a little last century, however we could get away with an MP4 in a pinch.
