UX Makeover
Solution towards a loading animation all while being creative and exploring the communicative possibilities of the medium.
This is the opening animation from the Twitter app.
Problem: Can’t see the loading screens progress & don’t understand how long it will take to finish.
(Simplistic & non-emotional start-up interface.)
Process
I began with storyboarding a new layout that would appeal towards helping this issue seeing the loading process.
Low Resolution Storyboard
High Resolution Storyboard
Creating the bird
Using Illustrator and After Effects, I started animating the new transition.
Final Animation
My new Twitter loading screen animation gives a whole new meaning to the word “Fun”. By giving the Twitter bird a “life-like” update, it appeals to the user all while helping resolve the UX problem of “not seeing the loading screens progress”.
