Animation Principles

Animation Principles is a foundational academic concept in the field of Motion Design and Motion Graphics that refers to a codified set of aesthetic and perceptual guidelines governing the creation of lifelike and effective movement in visual elements, distinguishing it from general animation techniques through its emphasis on timing, easing, anticipation, and other structurally significant components that convey meaning and emotion in time-based media.
