Micro-interaction Types

• •Button Interactions: Hover, click, and loading states
• •Form Feedback: Validation and error animations
• •Navigation Transitions: Smooth page and menu transitions
• •Status Indicators: Progress bars and loading animations

Animation Principles

• •Easing Functions: Natural motion curves
• •Timing: Appropriate duration and delays
• •Staging: Clear visual hierarchy in animations
• •Anticipation: Prepare users for actions

Performance Optimization

• •Hardware Acceleration: Use GPU for smooth animations
• •Frame Rate: Maintain 60fps for smooth motion
• •Reduced Motion: Respect accessibility preferences
• •Battery Optimization: Minimize power consumption

Animation Libraries

• •Lottie: After Effects animations in apps
• •Framer Motion: React animation library
• •GSAP: Professional animation library
• •CSS Animations: Native web animations

Motion Design Fundamentals

• •Purpose: Every animation should have a clear purpose
• •Clarity: Animations should clarify, not confuse
• •Consistency: Maintain consistent motion language
• •Efficiency: Optimize for performance and usability

Motion Language

• •Brand Personality: Reflect brand characteristics in motion
• •Emotional Response: Elicit appropriate emotional responses
• •Cultural Considerations: Respect cultural motion preferences
• •Accessibility: Ensure motion is accessible to all users

Motion Patterns

• •Entrance Animations: How elements appear on screen
• •Exit Animations: How elements leave the screen
• •State Changes: Transitions between different states
• •Feedback: Confirmation and error animations

Motion Guidelines

• •Duration Standards: Consistent timing across the app
• •Easing Curves: Natural and predictable motion
• •Hierarchy: Prioritize important animations
• •Documentation: Create motion style guides

Prototype Complexity Levels

• •Low-Fidelity: Basic wireframes and flows
• •Mid-Fidelity: Interactive wireframes with basic interactions
• •High-Fidelity: Detailed designs with full interactions
• •Code Prototypes: Functional prototypes with real code

User Testing Integration

• •Usability Testing: Test prototypes with real users
• •A/B Testing: Compare different interaction approaches
• •Analytics Integration: Track user behavior in prototypes
• •Feedback Collection: Gather user insights and suggestions

Prototype Sharing

• •Stakeholder Review: Share with product managers and developers
• •User Testing: Conduct remote and in-person testing
• •Developer Handoff: Provide detailed specifications
• •Documentation: Create comprehensive interaction guides

Advanced Prototyping Features

• •Multi-device Testing: Test across different screen sizes
• •Offline Functionality: Simulate offline states
• •Data Integration: Connect to real data sources
• •Performance Monitoring: Track prototype performance
