Fundamentals of Animation and Motion Graphics
There are three main fundamentals of Animation and Motion Graphics in web design:
- Meaning: Meaning of animation means making sure that we are choosing the right animations based on the character of your the business. For example, If we are designing a kid’s toy website, we should have some fun quirky animations to go along with the the theme of the website rather than dark and sophisticated animations.
- Physics: Animation and Motion Graphics has its foundation in nature and real life. In order for our animations to feel natural they need to follow the physics of Real World objects. For example, if we are animating a slider, the best thing that we can do is to choose one direction for the movement and keep that direction for all of the elements.
- Choreography: Choreography is a coordinated sequence of motion in a particular animation that helps in maintaining user’s focus as the interface adapts. Choreography helps us establish hierarchy in our animations. These are the three rules of creating choreography:
- Element that doesn’t move has the lowest hierarchy.
- Element that animates first is secondary.
- Element that animates last is tertiary.
