The topic includes the research of user experience with animations in mobile applications designed under the guidelines of Material Design and it studies how certain animation modifications affect user experience with the application. Furthermore, questionnaires have been conducted to explore how targeted users react to the animations which strictly follow Material Design rules as opposed to the animations which break them. The idea behind Material Design is the imitation of reality by means of “cards” mimicking a material surface (a paper) using light and shadows, as well as sensitive animations and transitions. The ultimate goal of Material Design is to ensure consistent user experience all over the Android platform, (its) applications and beyond. The purpose of Material Design is to guarantee its users a design which is simple, yet flexible, both for a user and a developer. In order to achieve that, a user interface has to be designed minimalisticaly, with an emphasis on legibility of typographic elements, minimalist pictograms and animations that send information to the user. According to Material Design, the aim of these animations is to draw users’ attention to certain elements and actions, and they also ensure fluidity.Besides, the animations point to the hierarchy and infrastructure of elements, they create distraction during the uploading and downloading of data and they give an application character.
