During over 45 years of development, cartographic animations have become a fully operational and useful tool for presentation of the dynamics of temporal and spatial geographic phenomena. At present, it is also possible to create complex interactive animations, including several sub-animations. In the author's opinion, their efficiency depends significantly on a proper choice of the entities employing correct combinations of static and dynamic variables at suitable levels of measurement and on an appropriate method of presentation. This choice must be very careful. The author proposes two methods for designing cartographic animations. Both of them are based on the choice of dynamized entities and levels of measurement, on identification of types of changes and animations, on selection and verification of combinations of variables and methods of presentation. The methods employ the results of research on possibilities of using variables in the creation of animations and the typologies of dynamic phenomena and animations. The methods also use proposed matrices of correctly combined applications of static variables, the matrix of semiotic evaluation of combined applications of static and dynamic variables and related cartographic methods of presentation, as well as the matrix of combined use of groups of methods and variables in the complex animations.
