Animation

Animation is a series of static images — illustrations or photos — linked together to mimic real-world motion. You can think of animations as flipbooks. The human eye can hold on to an image for approximately 1/10th of a second. Seeing images appear in quick succession makes our brain put them together into one moving image.

Animations play an important role in:

• Representing a brand
• Providing feedback on what's happening in the system
• Indicating status
• Educating people on how to use a certain feature^[1]
