Image Search Tab Bar Micro Interaction

Recently I have been working on the photo-sharing app and came out with this image search interaction.

Interaction should be intuitive and it should serve the purpose instead of disengaging the user from the app and so I kept subtle animations.

I tried this in Adobe After Effects but I guess this type of interaction can happen with other tools too.

I am still playing with this and I guess a few more tweaks can be done on it. Let me know in the comments about the user experience of such interaction.

Have an amazing day!
