9 Animated Illustrations InVision’s Connor Murphy Loves

I’m Connor Murphy, a designer at InVision who works on landing pages, marketing campaigns, email design, event collateral, and everything in between. I’m inspired by music, film, and TV, and I often design for fun on the side to improve my skills. One thing I’ve been diving into a lot lately is animation.

But when animation is done well, it’s natural, tells a story, and really brings life to the design. I chose the 9 shots below because they do just that.
