Exploring Animations for Menu Hover Effects

A couple of ideas for creative menu hover animations with images.

By Manoela Ilic in Playground on
Demo Code

Last week I showed you how we can create a fancy menu hover animation with images. Today I’d like to share some of the interesting effects we can achieve with that technique. Tuning some variables, timings and filters, the possibilities are really endless, so I invite you to explore some of the things we can come up with in the these couple of demos. Don’t forget to move your mouse along the link to see some jazzy motion and filters in action 🙂

I really hope you enjoy these playful animations!
