Have you heard of Instagram stories? Check out the video on their blog: http://blog.instagram.com/post/148348940287/160802-stories. I think it’s a cool feature, but what caught my eye is the animation of your profile icon when you close out a story. From the way the dashes grow, to the slight rotation, to the way brand’s gradient is revealed, it’s a subtle yet beautiful animation with a lot of layers. I tried recreating it in #Aftereffects.
