Layout with Reveal Animations and Content Preview

Some experimental reveal animations on typographic elements as repeating pattern for a website design.

Today I’d like to share a little experiment with you that has some fancy animations for a menu and a content preview. I love to play with the overflow-hidden trick that we can use to make elements disappear and show again (by being cut off). We call this form of hiding an element reveal effect on Codrops and we’ve played with it here, for example.

The idea is to show/hide lines of text fluidly and repeat this animation pattern throughout the design:

Note that this is just an animation proof-of-concept and not a properly made template!

I really hope you like this little experiment and find it inspiring!
