Animation Handbook - Cover illustration

Privileged to have created the illustrations for Animation handbook by @InVision, that explains the seven principles of bringing motion into user interface design, and describes how animation is the bridge between telling better stories and engaging users in more human and intuitive ways.

The book was written by Ryan McLeod, a self-taught designer who designs and develops the infamous game Blackbox, which won an Apple Design Award and has become a testbed for interaction design and accessibility innovation. In addition, you’ll a variety of animations throughout the book by @Pablo Stanley and Joshua Oluwagbemiga.

The overarching concept for the book illustrations, we decided to focus on the idea of Rube Goldberg machines. Being synonymous with motion, action and reaction made them a perfect metaphor for representing animation in a really playful, engaging way.

Its always a pleasure collaborating with @Jack Daly in bringing these concepts to life across the book.
