Description

With this course I’m gonna make all about prototyping and animation easy for you. I’m going to teach you how to think about motion in UI, and how to create that working prototype that can impress your clients and stakeholders.

In this course, you will learn how to add fluid motion to your designs and create interactive prototypes. 

 

We will cover topics ranging from basics of animation & prototyping, use of motion in UI, motion choreography, micro-interactions to multiple page prototypes with complex UI animations as well as how to prepare, animate and export your animations in Principle.

We’ll be creating a multiple pages mobile app interactive prototype. From importing in Principle, to preparing your workflow, to animating different UI elements such as page transitions, buttons, images and text.

At the end of this class, you will be able to create interactive prototypes with complex motion.

You will learn

  • Prototyping and Animations in Principle
  • Fundamentals of animation and interaction design
  • How to think animation
