This may sound a little kooky but if you have access to a copy of Resident Evil 5, you might want to check out the game setup menu screens for inspiration. At each level of the menu, they have different cells... one trick that they do is tween the blur of an item so it looks like it's moving in/out of the depth of field of the microsoft. I'm sure you can see the way they apply transformations to a shape by watching it for a little bit.
