I will update this with a how-to later tonight because I am unexpectedly crunched for time at the moment, but here is my very first gif! I am so happy that I know how to make gifs now!

This was a very interesting short story, a little confusing at times but I thought it was fun to read because it held my interest the entire time. The detailed descriptions and the way the story was written made it so easy to envision exactly what Jon ...

This story was very…different. The beginning drew me in because it was humorous. I can remember being young and how adults promoted “self-love” but then some said it was an abomination. But regardless, the story took some turns that I definitely did not expect. There were some high points and some low points. I’m just wondering … Continue reading →

To make this Gif, I followed this tutorial. I wanted to do something simple and fun. I opened up a new layer. I didn’t care about the size. Then I opened up my feet in the canvas. I added the … Continue reading →

The story about Jon was interesting yet confusing. It’s about a group of teens that live in a facility that assess products for consumers. They were raised in this building their entire lives. Its not clear if this story is … Continue reading →

This is entirely unexpected. GIMP was just easier to use than Photoshop. Was it for some obscure and arcane task that someone had written a GIMP feature for? No. I was just making a GIF for an assignment. I tried to import  a scene ripped from handbrake into photoshop, but it didn’t recognize the format. ...

My assignment was to make an album cover without sound. This is what I made: Although it’s definitely possible to make a better looking neon effect, that wasn’t the point of this project for me. I wanted a quick way to do neon that gets the point across but still lets me quickly change the ...

Creating this GIF was not easy at all, but somehow a really enjoyable process. I really felt like continuing my One Piece appreciation , so I decided to make a One Piece animation. This is a character named Roronoa Zoro, who is basically more badass than Chuck Norris. You can see him jumping towards Kuma, ...

CC Flickr User Ars ElectronicaI'll admit that the story was somewhat hard to read (and by that, I mean it was somewhat hard to skim, such as what a college student does for most of their readings). The way of writing, which includes the run-on sentence...

After seeing this video make the rounds I decided I should gif it. I pretty much followed the Gimp tutorial  word for word to create it. I did run into trouble on Gimp however, as it wouldn't include all the frames I wanted. As a re...

I just stumbled upon an amazing minimalist creation on tumblr. In the picture you can see the crew holding their hands up, with the signs they made to let Vivi, the princess of Alabasta know that they are still nakama (which means comrades, or friends in Japanese). I just had to share, because anybody who ...

To create this Gif, I used Photoshop.  I began with a blank slate and used the Custom Shape tool to create the arrows in each corner.  I then duplicated the layers, moved the arrows around so they would point towards the center of the image.  I did this twice.  For each layer, I used a ...

So, so sorry, North Quad, I couldn’t resist. The first thing that I did was get three images having to with water to add to the ‘flood in north quad’ … Continue reading →

There are a few animated .gif tutorials that I’d like to point you toward, as you’re getting started. I find the Gimp one easier (take that, Gimp haters!) because it … Continue reading →

Minimalism for Legend of Zelda

All I can say is that I’m confused.  I really had no idea what was going on from start to finish.  I knew right off the bat that these people were living in some sort of facility, whether it was an insane asylum, rehab center, test center or some sort of other observation place. The ...

R.I.P. I just killed the GAME!! Soooooo Happy with this work

Not my best work… BUT ………………………………..

gif ninja for class project

So I made a .gif! I used gifninja.com to make this gif. I didn’t use a video to make this .gif I made 4 5x5 still pictures in photoshop. I simply put one heart on a green background then saved it. Added another and saved it as a separate picture. Then I googled make .gif with stills. gif ninja turned up and I uploaded the the stills in order online. The screen showed the pictures in a preview of the .gif. the major adjustment I made was to the timing but otherwise the maker create the .gif exactly how I wanted it to look. Then I saved it and downloaded. Now I have a .gif. It was easier than I thought it would be. 

This is a minimalist creation that should make any manga fan smile. The mugiwara that was passed down to Luffy! I cut the straw hat out from another picture of Luffy, I turned it around and added a black background. All that was left was adding the si...

 andFor these minimalist posters, I was getting so frustrated with photoshop that I just switched over to paint. I think the top image is cooler looking, but I am happy with both. I think it has something to do with the fact that Otis looks like a...
