I am definetly in Love with your graphics! Can I ask you where you find your GIF Animations ( like the sparkles, bokeh etc?) <3 Thanks

Hi Haru! It really depends on what kind of gif animations you want, but I recommend looking through videos overlays and tumblr primarily. There's also a lot of good resources on deviantart (I don't follow any particular artist, unfortunately), but they offer psd files that have snow effects, for example, that you can easily use on photoshop.

Personally, I use aftereffects, but it has a lot of technical aspects to it that can make it frustrating for a beginner in aftereffects to learn just so you can accomplish a gif effect on a still graphic. If you're asking specifically for my graphics, I actually also animate a lot of it manually through adobe photoshop, though I'm not sure if I would recommend that because of the sheer amount of hours it will take to animate a 10 second piece.

Another thing I would like to add is that gif animations actually ruin the quality of your graphics, so I would recommend using texture overlays instead of pure gif overlays for bigger graphics, especially if the gif in question is too small to fit the dimensions of the graphics you're making.

I hope this helps!
