Rive animations of various states of mind (minimalist style)

Emotions… Every person feels anger, sadness, joy. But while some are swept away by their emotions, pulled under and ruled by them, others remain the authors of their own lives, fully in charge of what they feel. Why does this happen? And how can we learn to manage our emotions? By developing the ability to observe ourselves from within, a person learns to calmly notice which emotion they’re experiencing in any given moment. There are no “good” or “bad” emotions, every emotion has value. Every emotion matters. My client’s app (www.eatingbuddy.app) invites users to record their state of mind in the moment, giving them the tools to analyze their emotional patterns over time. My task was to visually illustrate each emotion in a way that made them truly equal: equally important, equally necessary, yet still uniquely different. I created the vector graphics in Sketch.

The idle animations, transitions between emotional states, and the entire state machine were, as always, built in Rive.
