When presenting an app concept, storyboards and screenshots alone just lack life and cannot fully drive the message across. If you want to catch your potential clients’ attention, showcasing your mobile app concept in GIF animation will make it more realistic, dynamic, and engaging.

 

Below is our list of 30 GIF examples of UI mobile app animations that will surely inspire you to do the same next time you present your app concept to your client.

14. Showtime App by Luft

This app by Luft is the most ideal for the weekend nocturnal creatures who are constantly in the lookout for a nice place to paint the town red. The only problem about this app is its right button color which makes it less readable. With this app, it’s show time, indeed!

15. iOS 7 Animation by Fabio Basile

This app is, obviously, a result of the freedom of Fabio Basile to have fun with animations and fancy interactions. Without question, this is way better than those horrid settings trays that people use.

Mind blowing animations that simply awe. Nicolas created it for Commongood.TV. Iron man-inspired? Hmmm…

24. Photo Navigation Concept by Chapps

This app is based on the concept that, in just a few clicks, the user can already get the necessary images that have been added and tagged earlier.

Are you a health buff? Then, this app concept will surely be in your good graces. This GIF showcases a little of its set interaction. Hopefully, this concept can be fully actualized as it can surely make workout tracking a piece of cake. Just be careful, though: you might end up spending more time playing with it than exercising!

30. Animated Sliding Tab Bar by Virgil Pana

This concept is simply smart as it can be of help on devices that have small screen size. Its drag handler is close to the edge of the screen for the bounding box because the action is limited. Nonetheless, the 3D fold effect is just cool, isn’t it?

Conclusion

Both UI and UX developers have recognized the importance of animated pictures in presenting their ideas that are a result of their painstaking work and inherent artistry. With GIF animations, the usually irritating and time-consuming procedure of explaining to clients can be averted. No matter how wonderful the screenshots of app concepts are, only short and fully animated GIFs can convey and demonstrate the interaction between all of the vital components in a more alive manner.

Esto no es ser fascista, es ser gilipollas.

En el texto preparado por la Comisión Europea se plantea permitir que los coches diésel contaminen un 20% más de los límites actuales a partir de 2019, pero realizando las mediciones en carretera, no en laboratorio, ya que los resultados son irreales.

La CE se desentiende de la propuesta española que abogaba porque los vehículos diesel pudiesen emitir un 60% más de dióxido de nitrógeno por kilómetro rodado. En el texto, al que ha podido acceder eldiario.es se ve una postura más relajada y pide que los coches emitan hasta 96 mgr. Los Estados miembros harán, previsiblemente, un último intercambio de argumentos este miércoles.

La nueva normativa tendría como objetivo realizar análisis más cercanos a la realidad, comprobando las emisiones en "condiciones reales de conducción", no en exámenes de laboratorio. Según los redactores del borrador, los límites actuales no son alcanzables en pruebas de rodaje fuera del laboratorio por lo que se aplica un factor de corrección que puede ser interpretado como una manga ancha a los fabricantes para que puedan contaminar como ya lo hacían.

Factor de corrección o margen que es la máxima disputa entre los países con fábricas de motores diesel como España y Alemania y la Comisión Europea.

Las enmiendas que propuso España, tal y como estipula eldiario.es, trataban varios puntos en referencia a la economía basada en la producción de motores diesel: empleo, volumen de negocio e inversión para exigir un margen mucho más permisivo en cuanto a emisiones.

El texto remitido por el Ministerio de Industria pretendía que se aplicase un factor de corrección inicial del 2,3 en vez de 1,6. Para el margen definitivo que tiene que regir desde 2019 proponían un factor de 1,6 en lugar del 1,18 pensado por Bruselas.

El documento preparado por Industria trataba de proteger a la industria al subrayar que los nuevos límites "deben ser medioambientalmente buenos pero también deben ser industrialmente posible". El ministro José Manuel Soria ha asegurado que la regulación preparada por Bruselas estaba "muy mediatizada" por el engaño de los motores alemanes.

La CE ha preparado esta revisión sobre el reglamento de emisiones de contaminantes, tras constatar que los coches salidos de las fabricas no reflejan la realidad. Las marcas conseguían cumplir la normativa y el límite de 80 mgr de dióxido de nitrógeno por kilómetro recorrido mediante unidades preparadas para pasar las pruebas de laboratorio.

Volkswagen fue cazada al emplear un sistema para que los motores engañasen a las pruebas para, una vez en carretera, poder contaminar hasta un 40% más de lo permitido. Conocido como 'caso Volkswagen', La CE cree que hay una clara necesidad de reforzar el cumplimiento de la normativa tras el suceso.

Aumentar en un 20% las emisiones permitidas — bajo el pretexto de realizar mejores pruebas — más parece una medida para salvar la producción de los diesel, y la economía de los Estados que dependan parcialmente de esta, que una medida en favor del conjunto de la Comunidad Europea.
