Make a your own GIFs
Hi, I can't be in class with you today so you will be making your own GIFs. A Gif (Graphic Interface Format ) is an image format but it allows for moving images to be displayed.

You all know examples of moving gifs: (Is this figure moving clock wise or anti clock wise, keep looking at it until it starts spinning the other way. It's an optical illusion)

Go on the internet and find some more examples.

You can easily make moving gifs yourself. You need to first have a series of images that you want to put in the Gif. Start the easy way and take photos of yourself with your webcam. Then put those images in to this site: []

You can also create a series of images with Word + screenshots, in Paint or, of course, the best way, with Photoshop.

Experiment with different websites, gif creators and different software. Next lesson I look forward to seeing your best and funniest moving Gifs. Each person needs to have made at least a few moving Gifs that are worthy of sharing.
