31 Brilliant User Interface Animations

Animated interface elements don’t just attract attention, they enhance user experience and help guide user flow. They reveal the functionality and process of a user interface much better than static text. Like any other element of good design, UI animations should have a purpose without being too noticeable. They should be functional above everything else.

If you’re looking for some fine examples of UI/UX animations, check out UI Movement – a curated gallery of motion-based interfaces submitted by the design community. We’ve shortlisted a few good ones across different element categories like login screens, dashboards, menus, forms, buttons and more. Check them out below.
