Better at UI design with every challenge

Combo box

Craft a high-fidelity mockup of a combo box that allows users to select an option from a dropdown list. The combo box should be intuitive to use and designed with a clear visual cue for users to click and expand the list.

Incorporate a smooth transition animation for expanding and collapsing the list. Ensure that the list items are legible and easy to select, possibly using distinct hover states to enhance user experience.

Bear in mind the need for accessibility, providing visual feedback such as changes in color or icons when an item is selected. Consider the case where the list could be extensive, integrating a search functionality within the combo box to filter options.

For a playful touch, consider custom illustrations or unique typography for the list items in your combo box to inject personality into the design.
