Task 2: App Animations & Interactions


Task 2: App Animations and Interactions

In this task, we are required to plan out the animations and interactions of the app. Below is my progression: 

Fig 1.1; Logo Animation; 

This is the logo animation, initially I was planning to make the dot of the "h" to write the letter h out, basically it's like masking animation, however, after few hours of trying it and failed, I decided to go with a sliding in and bounce animation. 

Fig 1.2; Sliding Animation; 

In this part, I basically implemented sliding animation for when the page slides out and a new page slides in. 

Fig 1.3; Pop up Animation; 

Since the task of my application is to create a good habit, for the plus sign, I made it pop up and background will blur. Users then can choose to create a new habit from the pop up options.

Fig 1.5; Sliding Animation 2; 

The sliding animation here also applies to the side panel and also for the choosing habit page and habit input page. 

I also made a master plan of the animation, below is my progression:

REFLECTION

I feel that I really need to do much research before I actually start executing my projects since research is very important. They provide you a guide and a direction on how you need to go about doing the project, or in this case, my application. At first, I thought I could just go with common animations that are seen in mobile applications, so as to make it so complicated that people feel it's just weird. However, I then thought that I should at least try to make things interesting at least a little. But then again, I thought that I might not want to spend too much time in the planning stage and should start to slightly change it a little when I'm coding to have clearer view on how the animations work. Overall, I think this is a nice project as it allows me to learn much on the planning, and also the importance of it. I also learned about doing masterplans for when designing mobile applications like these.
