New Animated Graphic
I had to urge to make the placeholder graphic for Panic Room into an animated GIF to add some dynamic flair whenever I use it.
I duplicated the halftone background in GIMP using the Newsprint Filter. The rest was done in Aseprite where I separated the different elements into their own layers to be animated. The button glow was a cool use of the Color Curve and Convolution Matrix I learned about from David Capello on the Aseprite Community forums.
