Hummm… This way to prototype transitions is great. I don't see frequently this kind of thing here inf my jobs, but I'll send this article for my partners and show to them the importance to make it.

We were just talking with a client today about how scope creep can happen so quickly because something is represented in a layout but not fully explained/approved by the devs. Using techniques like this allows the devs to go "oh, wait a minute, if we display like it will mean , so you might want to reconsider that design/interaction choice". I often find doing something like this is a good test for me too. Is what I am thinking really going to work?

I think this is an excellent way to prototype transitions/behaviours without needing to go to code (of course, it does kind of imply an understanding of the medium your design for – what events are available, etc.).
And your last paragraph, in my experience, is right on the money.

Thanks for sharing. Marcus
