    Pick a design and use the skills you've learned to create a cool bootup and shutdown animation. The design should have at least 3 layers, and if not, find a way to break it up into 3 distinct stages.

    Reveal the layers (or stages) one at a time, and add variation to the reveals so they don't feel too similar. For a challenge, try to make the shutdown feel unique, rather than a reversal of the bootup.
