FMP: Animated Editorial GIFS

I had the idea to think of other visual ways that are used to make news/journalism more immersive + engaging, and found examples of Editorial Animation/Illustration. Editorial illustration often uses visual metaphors to communicate elements of a text, however some platforms allow for animation aswell which communciates but in more powerful and visual way.

The use of animation provides context for this particular image - creates an idea of vintage electronic arcade games - hints that the story is to do with the 1980s? and David Bowie's iconic red thunder bolt.
