Week 05
Motion with a reason
Easing, duration, and restraint. Animation as a way to explain what changed, not a way to prove you can animate.
TWO LIVE SESSIONS
ONE WRITTEN CRITIQUE
ABOUT SIX HOURS
Week 05
If the motion does not explain something, it is decoration.
(What you make)
One interaction, animated and defended, with the two rejected versions kept as evidence.
What we cover
Animation is a way to explain what changed. We cover easing as meaning, duration as weight, and the difference between motion that orients someone and motion that performs for them.
The work
You animate one interface change three ways, then cut two of them and say why.
