In this week’s response, I am exploring loops, cycles and repetition in card design within my studio 3 game project. I created three elemental cards using loops to show their pattern, they are fire, water and air. Ideally, players will see the animation when the cursor hovers on them, otherwise, they’re still static.

I drew frame by frame using Photoshop and then complete the loop animation through the Timeline tool in Photoshop. Because I don’t have hand-drawing animation experience before. Zipei gave me a quick tutorial about how to use Photoshop Timeline to create animation, I really appreciate him. I also searched online for how to draw motions fluently since I had no sense of how it works before.

It was my first try at animated card design, I found it interesting. I may keep designing animated cards in the next weeks. But differently, I will make more variations for each one.
