Usage
Morphing is the act of changing one shape into another. Shapes can morph in response to changes in state or content, or as a result of user interaction. For example, when rotating a mobile device from portrait to landscape, surfaces can respond by changing size, which can cause shapes to morph.
Shapes can morph for various reasons, such as to remain consistent with a visual language as surface dimensions change, or to indicate when items are added to a selected set.
Morphing can cause changes to:
- Element prominence
- Element ergonomics
- The meaning of a particular shape
- How well a surface expresses a brand’s visual language
- Relationships between elements
