Spin Cycle

For belated-thanksgiving thanks this year, I am thankful for a slowed down end-of-year design pace here at GIPHY that leaves time for fun design & motion explorations 🙏

Spin Cycle is a tool in a (fictional!) clothing-themed mobile sticker creation suite. Other tools include Bounce Haus (for bouncing needs), Invisibility Cloak (for removing those pesky backgrounds), and Textile Factory (for...text). And yes, in this world you can drag & drop png files from the void into your mobile devices.

Based off of an internal After Effects sticker template that I made last month, which accomplishes much of the same while gobbling up faaar more CPU energy.

Edit: This is gunna sound like heresy coming from an @giphy account, but for a second thanksgiving thanks, bless the Dribbble gods who added in MP4 as an upload option
