This is a gif I created for the New York State Department of Civil Service for the Christmas Holiday. The illustration was created in Illustrator. I exported the file four different times as the same jpg, having various “twinkle light” elements hidden in each one of the files. I added the text in Indesign and kept saving over the link changes of the background, exporting each time as a low resolution file, so that they would stack all the same when the layers were brought into Photoshop to create the gif.
