Transitions and Animation

[tddewey]

Do we need/want to include a section that outlines our theory on how and when for transitions and animation?

This section would: • Identify when to use transitions/animations, when to avoid them • Performance concerns and optimizations for transitions & animations • UX considerations, such as animation duration (shout out to material design) • Accessibility concerns (e.g. photosensitive epilepsy, moving objects, readability, whatever)

We already have a piece on CSS animation performance. I could see an "Animations Best Practices" section being a useful add though.

I'd like to see a subsection on Animations under the "Accessibility" section - this could be something that we point designers towards when they make animation decisions.

[tlovett1]

@zrothauser agree that it's relevant there too.

I'll add this to my to do list.
