Cyprus Rail App
An app reveal animation for a hypothetical Cyprus Rail App. Made with Lottie and After Effects.

After exploring Omma, a new platform by Spline that allows you to build apps with AI-agents, I took my app design further by making an animated trailer for Cyprus Rail.
Cyprus doesn't have a working rail network, but it's something I'm passionate about becoming a reality in the future.
This app reveal shows what a rail network and bookable train tickets could look like if rail were reintroduced to the island.
Complete with icons and a map designed on Illustrator to build on the brand identity, developed to take the initial basic design in Omma to something more believable. UI elements from the app were animated in After Effects to step things up from basic app animation.
The app build in Omma can be accessed here if you want to take a look. It's not bad for a casual AI-built app.
Making Rail look realistic for Cyprus
The main challenge was creating a realistic rail map of for a country that never embraced rail. Working with mountainous terrain and spread-out cities. The branding also had to reflect Cypriot cities being scenic and entertaining places to travel to, each with their own geographic features and airport proximity. Interface design and app use ease also needed to be able to convert a car-centric population into trying rail, rather than relying on just tourists.
An App Reveal for ideal Public Transport
The app reveal frames Cyprus public transport as being modern, enjoyable to use and available within one app. This is hopefully where the reality of Cyprus public transport is headed in future, rather than just staying as a concept.
