Motion

Motion is a critical aspect of modern UI design, bringing interfaces to life and enhancing user experience. At AstraUI, we believe that well-crafted motion can make digital experiences feel more intuitive, engaging, and delightful.

Motion Principles

  • Purposeful

    Every animation should serve a clear purpose, whether it is guiding users, providing feedback, or enhancing the storytelling of your product.

  • Natural

    Motion should feel natural and reflect the physics of the real world, ensuring that interactions feel familiar and intuitive.

  • Responsive

    Animations should be responsive, adapting to different screen sizes and device capabilities while maintaining fluidity and performance.

  • Consistent

    Consistency in motion design across the application ensures a cohesive experience, helping users predict interactions and understand the interface better.

Motion Guidelines

  • Simplicity

    Keep animations simple and focused. Avoid overly complex sequences that can distract or confuse users.

  • Timing and Easing

    Use appropriate timing and easing functions to create smooth and pleasing animations. Consider the speed of animations to match the user expectations and task requirements.

  • Feedback

    Provide immediate feedback for user actions through motion. This reinforces the user sense of control and improves the overall experience.

  • Hierarchy

    Use motion to establish visual hierarchy, guiding the user attention to the most important elements on the screen.
