I’ve updated my site with small GIF animations.
Yes good old GIFs, the easiest way to create a moving images, when it’s not clean graphics. I’ve done a lot of web-animation that are SVG based and way more flexible and economic in “physical” size, but sometimes it’s only GIF that delivers.
And in this case I wanted to show some logos in context.
So how to make simple and quick GIF without pulling all your hears out?
A GIF are usually horrible to work with, in Photoshop, but with the simple plug-in for After Effects called GifGun it’s possible to fine tune and create a GIF that looks good and don’t end up as a 60 MB behemoth.
All the examples are from 500 KB to 2 MB.
A last trick is to only have a small part of the image that moves, so the freezed parts are only rendered ones.
So say hello to some simple and great updates to web-animation page :)
