Importance of Animations in Figma
- Animations in Figma provide more UI value to the existing design. They make the design more attractive & make it seem functional through prototype properties.
- Animations make the design more user interactive. And it should be noted that animations must not be too extra, or visual. It should always be an add on to the existing design, that enhances it’s features and makes the design look more enhanced and interactive.
- Animations must not be too fancy. Good animations are simple, subtle and eye-appealing to the user. Simple hover effects are good animations, but creating a bounce or wiggle to the button is an unnecessary animation that needs to be avoided.
Animations in Figma
Animations in Figma are defined as the transitional movements in elements or components when played in screen share mode. The prototype feature in Figma enables us to create transitions and animations between elements after delay, on hover, drag, click, etc. In this article, we will be learning how by the use of a prototype, we can create animations in Figma, such as the color change animation, or the increase in size of the element’s animations.
