For this class project, we will be creating a collection of animated gifs using different animation techniques, we’ll also be looking at how to use them on Instagram, and how to join Giphy as an official Gif Artist - If that’s something you’d like to become!

Here’s what you'll do:

1. Sketch out some ideas for your collection
2. Create your own custom color palette
3. Apply 3 different frame-by-frame animation techniques
4. Try out some bonus exercises
5. Export your Gif collection and use them on social media
6. Make them available for anyone to use online with Giphy
7. Share your Gifs in the Class Projects!

After this class, you’ll be familiar with some key basic animation principles.
You’ll be able to apply this knowledge to make gifs out of any image you create - and you’ll be able to do it quickly too, as the steps are simple and straight forward.

Ressources:

You don’t need any special ressources for this course, as we’ll be starting from scratch with a blank Procreate canvas, and we’ll be using the basic sets of brushes available to all.

This being said, if you wish to have a closer look at how my Source files for these animations are constructed, feel free to download them from the Ressource Box, on the right of this page.
This can be useful to study each frame more in depth.

Find me on social media, and tag me when you share your Gif creations!

Can’t wait to see your projects!
