FutureTalk with Rachel Nabors

Animation and the Future of UX*

Since the widespread adoption of CSS animations and transitions, animation has started creeping back into web design. Loading screens and “flashy” intros are back, as well as subtle UI interactions that invisibly plus the user’s experience. But what have we learned since we took a break from Flash? And how do we design with animation responsibly? Rachel Nabors introduces us to the science behind the human visual system and how to put animation to work for your site, in process and in practice.
