Motion Design: 20 Inspiring Animated Illustrations

Digital illustrations on websites, landing pages, mobile screens, and emails are a booming trend this year. Custom graphic design is also widely used for promo and explainer videos. More and more often, we find animated illustrations in web and mobile interfaces: images in motion catch our attention and add life to the pages. Benefits of this approach are well-checked: digital artworks support the original and stylish look of the product, quickly transfer the needed message, and add emotional appeal.

So, today, the D4U inspiration set is collected at the crossroads of graphics and motion design to feature awesomely animated illustrations. Some of them were designed as a part of video production, whereas others support interactions or positive user experience on apps or websites. Enjoy a variety of styles, details, colors, and plots.
