The ultimate guide to proper use of animation

Overpriced and bland.
For the grand price of $19, I was expecting a miso salmon bowl to remember, but what I got was a culinary travesty. The so-called ‘large’ bowl was anything but, featuring a salmon piece so small and overcooked it could’ve been mistaken for a rubber eraser, minus the charm. The flavor was as absent as a waiter on a busy night, and the dressing? Oh, the dressing was the real star of the show – if the show was about making the entire meal as unpalatable as possible. It was a gastronomic obstacle course where every bite was a hurdle, and finishing the bowl felt like a feat worthy of a medal, or at least a heartfelt apology from the chef. My mate couldn’t finish his excuse for a ‘brisket’ bowl either.

That was the best avo toast I've had. Loved it and the coffee is amazing too, thank you!
Food is tasty but after 18.90 for a bowl at lunch, I'm still hungry. Maybe I'll save this for days when I've already had a big breakfast.
Excellent wrt taste, presentation, price, quality and quantity.
Nowadays it’s hard to impress or even surprise with an interface animation. It shows interactions between screens, explains how to use the application or simply directs a user’s attention. While exploring the articles about animation, I found out that almost all of them describe only specific use cases or general facts about animation, but I haven’t come across any article where all rules concerning animation of interfaces would be clearly and practically described. Well, in this article I won’t write anything new, I just want to collect all the main principles & rules in one place, so that other designers who want to start animating interfaces don’t have to search for additional information.
Duration and speed of the animation
When elements change their state or position, the duration of the animation should be slow enough to give users the possibility to notice the change, but at the same time quick enough not to cause waiting.
Numerous researches have discovered that optimal speed for interface animation is between 200 and 500 ms. These figures are based on the particular qualities of the human brain. Any animation shorter than 100 ms is instantaneous and won’t be recognized at all. Whereas the animation longer than 1 second would convey a sense of delay and thus be boring for the user.
