How to discover a brand's motion style. 4 areas I'd consider to get started. 1) Easing Curves - how fast or slow an animation starts and finishes. By applying easing curves (check out previous posts for more about these), you can create bespoke motion that’s tailored to your brand’s personality. 2) Frame Rate - whether it's 15, 30 or 60 fps, effects the overall feel of your motion. For instance, 60 fps is commonly used for UX and digital experiences, whilst 15 fps gives a stop motion feel, perfect for a more handcrafted feel. 3) Attributes - elements such as position, scale, opacity and rotation. These attributes allow you to define how your brand's elements move and behave. 4) Duration - how long an animation takes to complete its movement. E.g. a quick transition from point A to point B conveys energy and excitement, while a slower transition can evoke a sense of premium and luxury. I recommend this framework as a starting point if you're looking to add motion to your brand identity. *Bonus tip - find inspiration, build a moodboard. Gather examples of motion that resonate with your brand’s identity. Analyze what you like, dive into the details, and figure out where you can apply these ideas. ------ #motion #branding #motionguidelines

Whether it’s a subtle hover effect or a dynamic transition, animations create that “wow” factor. 👀 The Magic of Eye Appeal 👀 Remember, appeal isn’t just about cuteness or sexiness. It’s about charm, simplicity, and magnetism. Think big round heads, giant eyes—like adorable baby characters! 🍼 🚀 Boost Your Reach 🚀 Static posts are like silent whispers. Animations? They’re the spotlight! They grab attention, increase dwell time, and boost your chances of being seen. 🌟 🔥 Action Steps: 1. Start Simple: Add subtle animations to key elements. 2. Experiment: Try different transitions, fades, or motion paths. 3. Test & Iterate: See what resonates with your audience. Remember, every frame matters. Make your designs dance! 💃✨ #DesignMagic #AnimationAppeal #CreativeContent #CoachMonaG #SocialMedia101Coach #CanvaTips #canvacoach #QuickEasyCanvaTips

🚀 Why Animations Are Key to Great Design! Animations aren’t just about making things look cool—they’re essential for a smooth, engaging user experience.

They add a dynamic touch that makes your design feel more alive. ✅ Telling Your Story: Animations can convey your brand’s personality in a unique and memorable way, helping you make a lasting impression on your audience. ✅ Seamless Transitions: Moving between pages or sections becomes smoother with subtle animations, making your site feel more cohesive and easier to navigate. ✅ Fun Interactions: Micro-animations in buttons, menus, and icons can make your site more interactive and enjoyable for users, adding a layer of fun to the experience. #MunazzaMasood #10xart #Nike #UIUX #WebDesign #Animation #uxuidesign 10xart

LISTEN UP: Your static website is costing you money. 💸 Micro animations aren't just eye candy. They're 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀. Here's why: ✅ They guide user attention. Where the eye goes, the mind follows. ✅ They provide instant feedback. Users know their actions matter. ✅ They reduce cognitive load. Less thinking = more converting. How to use them: - Button hover effects: Show it's clickable. 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 desired actions. - Form field animations: Make input easy. 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝘀𝘁 form completions. - Loading animations: Reduce perceived wait time. 𝗟𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 bounce rates. - Scroll-triggered animations: Keep users engaged. 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 time on site. But here's the kicker: Overdoing it 𝗞𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗦 conversions. The secret? Subtle. Purposeful. 𝗔𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗿 𝗴𝗼𝗮𝗹𝘀. Micro animations should be invisible enhancers, not distractions. The result? 📈 Higher engagement rates 😍 Improved user experience 🚀 More conversions It's not about being flashy. It's about being 𝗘𝗙𝗙𝗘𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗩𝗘. Your website should work as hard as you do. Start small. Test. Iterate. Watch your conversions climb. Your move. As an example, here is a animation I created fo Legalstart new website. I was surprised to see no animations whatsoever were created in the rebranding process. So I thought I'd animate a couple of their illustrations to show how big of an impact it would have on their user experience. Looking to elevate your brand?

🚀 Exploring Hamburger and Cross Animations! 🍔❌ Today, I delved into the fascinating world of hamburger and cross animations, and I wanted to share some insights! 🔍 Key Takeaways: Hamburger Icon: A staple in UI design, the hamburger icon is a compact way to present a menu. Its animation into a cross icon (or "X") during interaction not only enhances aesthetics but also improves usability. Transition Matters: Smooth transitions between the hamburger and cross states can make the interface feel more polished and responsive, leading to a better user experience. User Engagement: These animations help users quickly identify the menu’s function, making navigation intuitive and visually appealing. 💡 Application: I’m excited to incorporate these animations into my upcoming projects to enhance interactivity and user engagement. Have you experimented with these animations in your designs? I’d love to hear your experiences or any resources you recommend! #UIDesign #Animation #HamburgerMenu #CrossAnimation #UserExperience #Learning

Hot Take: Micro-interactions are overrated Tiny animations, playful sounds, satisfying bumps... micro-interactions promise to wow users ✨ But are they all sunshine and rainbows? My hot take: Overusing micro-interactions can backfire! 👀 My unpopular opinion: Overusing micro-interactions can backfire. Why? 🤳🏻Distraction overload: too many micro-interactions become visual and auditory clutter, distracting users from their core tasks. Think endless loading animations or intrusive sound effects. 👩🏻🦽Accessibility concerns: not everyone experiences micro-interactions the same way. Animations can trigger seizures, and sound cues might be missed by users with hearing impairments. 📦 Overpromising, underdelivering: lavish micro-interactions may set high expectations that the core functionality fails to meet. Think fancy checkout animation followed by a clunky payment process. 🤓 But micro interactions enhance engagement! True! When used thoughtfully and sparingly, they can elevate the user experience. But less is often more. #UXDesign #Microinteractions #UserExperience #Accessibility #HotTake

Over the last few weeks, I had numerous requests from clients to add some motion/interactions to their apps — But I declined most of them, and here's why ↓ Motion design serves a purpose and has meaning associated with it. Both the interface and motion design complement each other to create delightful interactions. It can't be a waterfall, linear, or cascading process where we sprinkle a little bit of animation just for the sake of it once the product is done. When you plan to design a product or a feature, you have to think holistically from different perspectives, be it visuals or motion. The different pieces should come together to support each other and create a more cohesive experience. I often witness product builders sprinkle animation without considering the actual purpose and meaning, which only makes the product less efficient and jarring for the end user. The preference should be a holistic approach to both visual and motion design from start to finish to create more intuitive and cohesive product interactions.
