Summary

The first motion family, Rounded Dynamics: fluid, elastic circle and pill forms that scale, extend, merge and split, shown as a grid of black rounded shapes.

Visual description

White page. The left column explains in English over Chinese that Rounded Dynamics offer flexibility (extension, scaling, merging, separation) while keeping rounded characteristics, expressing elasticity, fluidity and vitality and interacting with rounded forms. A small ghosted "a" icon sits at lower-left. The right side is a loose grid of solid black rounded shapes: circles of varying size, a column of growing rounded bars (like a bar chart), stacked rounded rectangles, and merging blob pairs that read as metaballs. All black on white.

Key takeaway

Showing a motion family as a set of static "frames" (different shapes the system can take) communicates kinetic behavior without animation. The merging blob pairs neatly imply the merge/separate behavior in still form.

Reuse notes

A practical way to document motion in a print/PDF guideline. Reuse the shape-grid approach to suggest a family of dynamic forms. This rounded family pairs with the rectangular one on the next page.
