My initial idea was to use a soft color gradient that expanded from the top of the screen as the user pulls it down. But in practice, the effect felt too subtle and lacked impact. I explored variations with glowing color shifts and animated gradients until I arrived at a stronger visual metaphor: masking the gradient behind the content UI to reveal the app’s “thinking brain.”
Once the animation was finalized, I designed a custom 3D backdrop and captured the interaction from two camera angles to emphasize the spatial depth of the concept.
