Best Practice - Creating a Habit Loop

 

  • Cue — Trigger that initiates action

  • Routine — In response to the cue, you perform an action

  • Reward — A benefit you get from completing the routine, reason for completing action

MicroInteraction Concept

MicroInteraction and UX

If individual interactions are the cells that make up the UX, then microinteractions are the atoms within the cells.

 

As technology continues to develop, designers are able to delve deeper into the tinier interactions of a UI, and so microinteractions are the new frontier.

GET READY TO DESIGN MICROINTERACTIONS

What we need to design MicroInteraction

Understanding SVG's

  • Maths inside your browser

  • Save HTTP Requests

  • DOM Visibility

  • Support by all Browsers

  • Make Life Easier with Animations

  • Responsive and Scalable graphics

Animating SVG's

 

GreenSock - Killer Feature

  • Simple Syntax

  • Timeline

  • Nested Timelines

  • Draggables

  • DrawSVG

  • Stagger

  • MorphSVG

CSS Class

Variable object

Creating Tween

Title Text





         var svgTween = new TimelineMax({
                delay: 0.5
            });
        
         svgTween.to('#content', .5,{
                  scale: 1
                })
             
        svgTween.fromTo('#content', .5, {
                  scale: 1
                },{
                  scale: 1.2
                })

Creating TimeLine

Syntax:  {to}, {fromTo}


 function runAnimation() {
      toggle = true;
      svgTween.fromTo('#content', .5, {
          scale: 1
        },{
          scale: 1.2
        })

        svgTween.fromTo('#border',.9 ,{
          height: 0
        }, {
          height: '100px',
          strokeWidth: '6',
          ease: Expo.easeIn
        });

        svgTween.to("#rotate", .5, {    
          rotation: '45deg',
          transformOrigin:"50% 50%"
      });
    }

function reset() {
     toggle = false;
     svgTween.to('#content', .5,{
          scale: 1
        })
     
    svgTween.to('#border',.8,{
      height: 0
    })
    svgTween.to('#rotate',.9 ,{
      rotation: 0
     })
   }

    

Code
