Synthwave Stream Overlay

A stream overlay is a background for a streamer's viewers to see while they're live. Instead of looking at a boring background, viewers can see something interesting that organizes all the streaming essentials and shows off the theme and aesthetic that the streamer has. I wanted to go down a new route of retro with my overlay; neon synthwave. The layouts were completed in Photoshop early on, and the project was dropped for a few months until I picked it up to finish it. I animated custom alerts for certain events, such as a new follower. I had no prior history with animating, so it was a new step for me. Despite only being built in Photoshop, I am still impressed at how it looks.
