# Memphis Pattern: motion graphics style

> Squiggles, zigzags, a dotted disc, a grid tile and confetti bounce around a terrazzo panel where the word sits in fat outlined letters with a hard shadow. Inspired by the 1980s Memphis design group; for playful brands, toys and social content.

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

```text
Design an 80s Memphis-style animation for [TEXT]. Cream background with a fine black dot grid. In the center, a slightly tilted terrazzo panel (white with colorful stone chips) with a thick black outline and a solid pink offset shadow. [TEXT] sits on it in wide, heavy, rounded letters, lemon yellow with a black outline and a solid teal drop shadow. Around the edges, bold flat shapes with black outlines: a striped yellow half-sun, a cobalt triangle, a pink squiggle, a black zigzag, a teal disc with dots, a grid tile, a lilac capsule and colorful confetti (triangles, rings, dashes). Everything pops in with springy overshoot, then bobs and tilts continuously on different rhythms while the letters wobble slightly. Pop everything out in a stagger and loop.
