Today I’d like to share a little menu animation with you. It’s just a simple proof-of-concept to explore how to animate a vertical image stack into a horizontal one. This is incorporated in a menu that also expands its items letter by letter to add some interesting motion.

When we click on an item, the letters and the decorative circle expand while the thumbnails of the stack rearrange from a column into a row of images:
The whole motion in action:
I hope you like this demo and find it inspirational!
