Interaction for Tapping a Word of the Day

The usual push-navigation didn't feel intuitive enough for the UI. You are tapping a word's image, and that Image is going to come again. Why not Zoom In to it to get more actions? Instead of pushing a new view.

So, I designed a custom Zoom Animation (*) for tapping a Word of the Day. The way it works is, that when you tap into a collectionView cell the image in the cell scales up to fill the screen, further providing more information and share options for the same.

* - It's a UIView Animation with Spring Dampening and Curve Ease In.
