Task 2: Micro Interactions and Animated Micro Interaction Prototype




TASK 2

We are required to create micro interactions and animated 1 operation task of micro interactions for our app from task 1.

The operation task of my app was to view the recipe for kiwi smoothie and add the ingredient list to shopping cart

Before planning the animation, I made some minor changes to the layout of my application.

Because the monochrome background is a bit monotonous, I added some illustration to make it look richer.

The original upper and lower parts are difficult to distinguish, so the geometric diagram in the whole design is used to separate the upper and lower parts, which makes it easier for users to distinguish the upper and lower parts and adds some sense of design. In addition, the turntable part of popular recipes also separates the photos and names of each dish with lines, which clearly divides each recipe.

The word"show direction "doesn't look so accurate, and it doesn't let users know that it is a button that can query steps. It is more clear after changing it to" show steps".

The modification of this page is to enlarge the picture for users to view, and then add a play button to the picture, so that users can play the video without seeing the progress bar below at the first time.

REFLECTION

This project is quite smooth for me. At first, I struggled with where to do my animation. Personally, I prefer to do this amination in Figma, because I have never done it before, so I can try to see its potential. It turns out that Figma can not only do some simple “move in move out”, but also do some novel animation methods, so it can be regarded as something. At first, animation will be helpless, because it takes a long time to explore for the first time, but it was much smoother afterwards. On the whole, this assignment didn't cost me much, and it also achieved the desired effect.
