Totally, it's funny how this was posted today because I tweeted the wikipedia article for the 12 principles[0] today to someone. I was telling him about using "anticipation" and "follow-through" to make the a mapping animation from one point on a map to another like on Google Earth. The anticipation not only gets people ready to zoom out (blast off), but it buys a little more time while map tiles load at the destination, without making people think the animation is too slow. At http://famo.us/ http://famo.us/ we're huge believers in the use of the 12 principles in not only making interfaces delightful but also provide usability affordances. If anyone is a front-end webapp engineer, you should check out what we've built because it makes these kinds of interactions easy. Plugg.me is one of the best examples built so far (we've only been public a few weeks). It should be released shortly. Here's a demo video of the app: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXeFl093_FI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXeFl093_FI Here's our github repo: https://github.com/famous/famous https://github.com/famous/famous Besides your site, ui-animations, there is also http://capptivate.co/ http://capptivate.co/ [0] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12_basic_principles_of_animation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12_basic_principles_of_animatio...
