Why this pattern works

Frame controls, a drawing palette and layer options surround a checkerboard canvas, separating animation structure from pixel editing.

Design notes

Surface: Piskel — New sprite
Navigation: Vertical drawing tools beside a frame list; preview and layer controls at the right.
Layout: Central square pixel canvas with narrow supporting columns.
Density: High tool density with clearly separated functional regions.
Color: Dark gray panels, checkerboard transparency and yellow selection accents.
Type: Compact interface labels preserve room for the canvas.
Pattern: Show frames, canvas and layers simultaneously so the animation structure remains visible while editing.
States: New empty sprite; playback, export and layer changes were not tested.
Don't: Adapt the interaction structure to your users. A screenshot does not establish keyboard behavior, loading states or the success of subsequent actions.

## Acceptance criteria
- Existing project conventions, design tokens, working functionality, and unrelated changes are preserved.
- Two or three reference principles clearly support the user's task; conflicts are resolved in favor of usability and the existing product.
- Reusable components and semantic HTML express the interface. Available licensed assets are used; important UI text is never rendered as a bitmap.
- Every visible control has a defined behavior. Loading, empty, error, success, disabled, and long-content states are specified where relevant. Demo data is clearly labeled.
- Navigation and content adapt at 375px, 768px, and 1440px without horizontal page overflow. Keyboard use, visible focus, labeled inputs, at least 44px touch targets, readable contrast, and reduced motion are supported.
- Verification distinguishes rendered behavior from proposals and identifies anything still requiring a backend or external service.

## Quality bar
Clear hierarchy, consistent spacing, restrained surfaces, and purposeful motion. Avoid decorative gradients, excessive cards, placeholder buttons, and invented metrics unless the project calls for them. Do not claim a feature is connected or tested without evidence.
