| "text": "The key to a good looking motion design is really all about timing. If it's too slow, the user will have to wait and if it's too fast, he won't be able to see the changes and what's happening. The same animation with different speeds will be perceived very differently. and all the steps of the animation are blended together and we lose the smooth and clear transition that we had. So timing is really important here. You need to adjust the duration of an animation based on its complexity and the area to cover. If your motion is just one big color that slides over the screen, it can be pretty fast, maybe around one second. But if you have many elements moving around and different steps, then you should probably take more time. That way everything doesn't just blend together. So there isn't a recommended amount of time for a transition. It really depends on the animation and how complex it is. You also have to take into consideration the area that is covered. If your animation is on a small area like a button, then it can be pretty quick, like half a second. But if it's a full screen transition, you have a much bigger area to cover, and therefore it should take longer. There are four types of easing that you can use depending when the animation starts slow then accelerates to finish fast at the end. This is usually used on elements leaving the screen. As for ease in and out, you've guessed it, it's when we have both an acceleration and a deceleration. This is used for elements that are moving but staying on the screen. Finally, you could go with no easing. This is usually for objects that are moving at a constant speed, like clouds in the sky passing through the screen. When you have many elements to animate at once, they shouldn't all start and finish at the same time. You should start them one after the other. This is what we call offset. And you don't have to wait for the first animation to be completed before starting the second one. They can all be overlapping with just a few milliseconds between the beginning of each one. Finally, you should adjust the speed and easing of your animation depending on the project. It should be really fast and direct if it's for a website where people go often to get information, like a website for a bank or to get your news. But if it's for more of an experiential website, then you can most definitely have longer transitions and longer animations.", | |
