Embrace your project: Animation with concept
summary
Claims that animation reduces cognitive load and clarifies orientation by mapping real movements to UI changes, and that animation needs a concept not decoration. Workflow uses pencils and paper, Adobe XD for prototyping, code pan for experiments and principal for richer motion. Practical rules: prefer translate/scale/opacity on the compositor, keep to two to three elements for CSS and move to gzip for complex multi‑element sequences, analyze every component, prototype a morphing nav, and iterate until the timing feels right.
