Motion Design and Micro-interactions Questions
Bringing interfaces to life with movement: animation principles, transitions, micro-interactions, and interactive states that communicate feedback and continuity. Covers when motion aids comprehension versus distracts, easing and timing, and blending animations. The temporal dimension of interaction design.
Create a motion system for a large product that standardizes easing curves, duration tokens, and interaction patterns while staying within a strict performance budget for low-end devices. Describe the tokens you'd define, documentation approach, enforcement mechanisms, and how you'd measure and validate performance.
Design an approach to introduce motion-aware accessibility: how do you detect user preferences, what alternatives do you provide for reduced motion, and how do you ensure animated components remain discoverable and informative when motion is limited?
Design the micro-interaction for a 'like' heart icon. Describe the interaction states, keyframes or motion steps, timing and easing choices, how the animation triggers, and the fallback behavior for users with 'reduced motion' enabled. Explain how you would document this micro-interaction inside a motion library or design system.
