Kinetics Personality

Qualities of a Genuine Lightning Animation

Motion can be expressed in a lot of ways. But to design motion that fits Salesforce, it should have these qualities.

Nimble

Motion helps users maintain flow, drawing attention to screen changes both small and large, and increasing the perceived speed of the task.

When a new item is created, a contextual success toast reveals where the new item is added while retaining the order of tasks to be done.

Sensible

Kinetics moves modestly and predictably, making users feel confident about their next steps.

Various icons enlarge and a circular shape highlights the icon as the cursor moves over them.

Considerate

Kinetics welcomes people of all visual abilities, pushing for efficiency to enhance the quality of the experience where needed, and humbly bowing out when users would prefer to skip motion altogether.
