Hi everyone

This is my second entry to Utopian.io GIF Contest.
This time i chose to make a minimalist gif, not crazy or funny like my first entry, but a quite different, and it was very pleasent to do.

Since the gifs are compact files, the end result always loses some quality, so, with the gif, i also want to share a wallpaper that results from this gif with resolution 4000x1800 px

And this is my second entry for the Utopian.io GIF Contest:

GIF LINK

GIPHY ACCOUNT

Now let me explain how I did this.
In my first entry i made almost the entire gif inside Giphy platform, this time i made all the work with photoshop.

Getting Started:

Open new project: Top menu | File | new | details in the screenshot

Main background - Apply Gradient Overlay # 27135f | 726986
Create 5 different layers with some dots and drawings;
Create 3 different geometric forms | reduce opacity | apply different gradient overlay;
Duplicate and then: Top menu | Edit | Transform | Flip Horizontal

Create different elipses layers with varied sizes and opacities, to keep all ordered, create as many groups as you need and start regroup everything.

Then import official Utopian logo
Top Menu | Image | Adjustments | Hue/Saturation - lets make the logo white and insert Inner shadow:
Logo layer | Mouse Right click | Blending options | Inner shadow
Create an Elipse shape, apply Gradient overlay and circle brush.
Add Shadow to logo:

To finish, I created the keywords, a few lines and positioned everything and started animating the elements in timeline

Original editable file "PSD"

Original Wallpaper file "PNG"

Thanks
