For my gif animation I wanted to make use of a grid and reveal something through the animation. After thinking on what to reveal I decided to select the logo of my brothers band and try to animated it.

The logo is a very simplistic boat with a pirate flag, so my idea was to simulate the pirate ship revealing it every 5 frames. As it reveals, I decided to have dark black particles fill it up by following the edges of the shape. After seen it, i also thought it would be cool to simulate the ocean, so I added blue particles moving in a wave form at the bottom of the “ship”.

In my sketch, for proof of concept, I also did a heart, just because I thought it would be an easy shape to simulate and see if the concept would look good in a gif.

After a lot of color iterations I finally got to this:

After revising my GIF, this is my final version:
