  1. The fundamentals of light, surface, and movement are key to

    conveying how objects move, interact, and exist in space and in relation to each other.
  2. Defer to content Provide clarity Use depth to communicate iOS

    Design Material is the metaphor Bold, graphic, intentional Motion provides meaning Material Design
  3. What do we agree on? Some consistency across platforms is

    good Respect the platform and its users
  4. Now, typically we don’t provide design advice about the things

    that we don’t offer to you guys… but I will say that their value is greatly over-stated, and they have huge usability downsides too. – Mike Stern, Apple UX Evangelist, WWDC 2014
  5. Beautiful, subtle animation pervades the iOS UI and makes the

    app experience more engaging and dynamic. – Human Interface Guidelines
  6. Add animation cautiously… Animation that seems excessive or gratuitous can

    obstruct app flow, decrease performance, and distract users from their task. – Human Interface Guidelines
  7. Animation can exist within all components of an app and

    at all scales, from detailed icons to key transitions and actions. – Material Design Spec
  8. …an app can truly delight a user when animation is

    used in ways beyond the obvious. A menu icon that becomes an arrow or playback controls that smoothly change from one to the other serve dual functions: to inform the user and to imbue the app with a moment of wonder and a sense of superb craftsmanship. – Material Design Spec
  9. Recap Some consistency across platforms is good. Navigation? (Usually) No,

    thank you. UI Components? Sometimes. Motion? With care.
