Halloween-themed icon set for Instagram app

Key idea

Redesign simple, laconic icons set in the existing brand style of the Instagram app, but animate icons on select / tap action. This is more like an easter-egg approach: the user initially sees a pretty normal icon, and the actual spook 👻 shows up when tapping the icon.

Design process & Challenges

The main challenge was to find a proper halloween-ish 🎃 visual metaphor in standard, well-known icons (home, user, add, search, settings, etc.). The biggest challenge was to make animation only with Figma native tools (in a prototype mode).

The best way to present icons is to see them in motion. So please, follow the Figma link 🔗
