The boss of this dungeon
Three suppliers, three screens, three different ideas of 'arriving'.
One way to arrive
We wrote down what every animation means before drawing any of them. Arriving slides in from the direction of travel. Delays pulse once, never twice.
Shipping it to three suppliers
The motion library ships as timing tokens and Lottie files, so each supplier builds the same movement in their own tools.
The first boards went live on the Leith line in March, and the rest of the city followed by summer.
