Overview

Motion animations add life to your interface by providing visual feedback on user interactions. When used thoughtfully, animations can guide user attention, provide context, and create a more polished and professional experience.

Usage Guidelines

Choose animations that match your application's tone and context. Consider the following when selecting animations:

• Professional animations are ideal for business applications, dashboards, and enterprise software where subtlety and professionalism are key.
• Playful animations work well in consumer-facing applications, marketing sites, and creative portfolios where personality and delight are important.
• Minimal animations are perfect for content-heavy interfaces, reading experiences, and applications where distractions should be minimized.
• 3D-focused animations are great for showcasing products, creating depth in card-based layouts, and adding visual interest to interactive elements.

Where to Use Animations

Best Practices

• Consistency: Use the same animation style across similar elements to create a cohesive experience.
• Performance: Animations should be smooth (60fps). Avoid animating too many elements simultaneously.
• Accessibility: Always respect prefers-reduced-motion. All animations in this library automatically disable when users prefer reduced motion.
• Purpose: Use animations to enhance usability, not just for decoration. Each animation should serve a functional purpose.
• Timing: Keep animations quick (200-300ms for most interactions) to avoid feeling sluggish.
• Context: Match animation intensity to the importance of the interaction. More important actions can have more pronounced animations.
