Motion Design

Motion design defines how things move on-screen, and is a critical part of an interactive experience. Motion design should never be gratuitous; animations always support the content and the experience as a whole. Transitions are used to provide critical clues and to make sense of application states. They also allow the user to understand where tools have gone when they are in a hidden state. (Fig. 9)

• None – Appear
• Slide from left (Fig. 10)
• Slide from right
• Slide from top
