App Flow Mapping
Initially, I needed to structure all the screen designs to focus on macro animations and large movement transitions between screens. To achieve this, I first arranged the screen flow of the app, starting from the startup page to the onboarding page, and then moving through home, marketplace, upload, chat, and profile pages. By establishing this macro animation structure, the app provides a smoother and more visually appealing experience for the user.


In the app flow mapping, I implemented simple transitions such as fade in and fade out. For some elements, I used slide transitions (left, right, up, and down) to enhance the overall interactivity and visual appeal of the screen transitions. The sliding transitions can create an effect similar to card swiping, adding a dynamic and engaging feel to the user experience.



Masterplan
In the master plan, each screen will include both micro and macro animations to enhance the user flow and create a more engaging and visually appealing experience.

Micro animations will play an important role in improving the user experience within the app. These will include subtle but significant icon modifications and animations, making navigation and interaction more intuitive and engaging. Furthermore, form field validation will be visually enhanced with tiny animations that provide rapid feedback and guide users effortlessly through the input process.

The master plan also include macro animations, which are designed to significantly enhance the interactivity and visual appeal of the interface. These larger-scale animations will include animating informational elements to draw attention and convey information more effectively. Additionally, smooth transitions between screens will create a more cohesive and fluid user experience. Effects such as content sliding or fading will add a layer of sophistication, while content animation loops will maintain user engagement by continuously providing visual interest. Swiping animations will also be integrated, allowing for intuitive and seamless navigation throughout the application.
