In this experience we wanted more control over the look and feel of the arrow icons, so we added our own. In this case, we search the icon library for an arrow and then applied an "On Click go to next page" interaction. Pro tip: the animation transition for "Go to next page" and "Go to page xx" are slightly different. Choose the one you like best!
We built this map asset in Photoshop and imported it as a bunch of different layers. This allows us to stagger the animations to make the map appear to build out. Additionally, we also included a image called "Dot Map02" and set the animation to flash to give the map a unique pulsing effect.
