# Bayer Dither Emboss: motion graphics style

> An embossed word on cream paper is shaded entirely by an 8×8 ordered dither in ink blue, as a lamp circles overhead and long shadows swing around the letters. Two colors, no gray: lo-fi print charm for editorial and indie brands.

## Prompt (replace [TEXT] with your text)

```text
Render the word [TEXT] as raised, beveled letters in a blocky display face on paper, shaded entirely with an 8×8 ordered (Bayer) dither in only two colors: warm cream paper and ink blue, no grays. A lamp circles slowly above the scene, so a soft pool of light moves across the paper, highlights slide along the letter bevels and long shadows swing around the letters; every gradient becomes the characteristic crosshatch-like threshold pattern. Add a faint drifting cloud texture in the background. At the start of each loop the image snaps from chunky blocks to fine dither in a few quick steps, and coarsens again just before it repeats.
```

## Visual DNA

- Every tone built from a crisp 8×8 Bayer threshold pattern, only two colors
- Beveled letters with a moving highlight and long swinging shadows
- Circling lamp turns flat gradients into crosshatch-like dot fields
- Resolution snaps from chunky blocks to fine dither at the start of each loop
- Faint drifting cloud texture in the paper background
