I have always loved optical illusions, they reveal interesting things about how our brain pieces visual input together to make sense of what we are looking at. I also like HTML CSS and front end web development in general and I have always wanted to create a project where I put these two things together. In today's CSS animation tutorial for beginners we will build our own optical illusion and make it into interactive animated background effect. We will learn how to animate gradients with CSS and how to use 2 uncommon CSS3 selectors - adjacent sibling combinator (+) and general sibling combinator (~). Have fun :D
