EMOTION
MEANING
Motion adds meaning. It allows
users to acquaint themselves
better with the interface and find
their way around. Motion can help
direct focus, as well.

EXPERIENCE
Together, these new techniques unlock the emotion and persuasive power
of animation.

Natural movements
Together, storyboard animation and
prototyping animation techniques
allow designers to mock-up and then
actually create animations with emotional and persuasive impact.

Anticipation: Motion prepares the audience for the action about to occur
On this hypothetical retail example, when the user taps on a tile, the tile flips
around to reveal more information. The successive progression of the tile from
point A to point B directs the users attention and hints at what is about to happen.

Conclusion
Motion design is becoming a valuable digital asset for both experience
creators and users. As designers
and developers incorporate animation into user interfaces, they unlock
its immense potential to push the
boundaries of digital storytelling and
interactive experiences. And, while they
are redefining what is possible in user
experiences, motion and animation are
reshaping the digital expectations for
better marketing.
