Many of animations are superfluous, but those that indicate state changes and especially spatial changes are useful. I think that some of the stretching-squashing motions can be pretty good. Especially on mobile, animation can give answers to two questions: how did I get here, and, how do I get back again
- majewsky 10y agoI don't know. All these examples from the OP with bouncy animations are much too busy for me, and make the application/website feel childish. I think Google's Material Design strikes a good balance regarding use of animations. They sometimes have very elaborate animations, but usually in very small areas where the animation becomes an easteregg rather than an annoyance. (For example, how the hamburger menu icon transforms into the back-arrow and vice versa. Or, on the Android notification panel, how the cogwheel rolls away as it fades out. That's cute.)
