Starting- The Art of Animated GIF's

Staring Point

Before starting the Creativity Mission which was our first mission we were given the option on the course website to do our presentation on some of theses topics and some of the options were:

• Art of the Animated GIF
• Digital Audio
• Augmented Reality
• Interactive Fiction
• Gaming
• Creative Coding
• Critical Making
• Adaptions,Remixes and Mashups

We all read it making our ideas of what to do as we didn't have much experience in some of them. So I read them and learn a little about what they are asking us to do my eye catches the Art of the Animated GIF well because GIF's are cool and making them would be interesting.When reading the animated GIF mission this is what I first came byThe animated GIF is a form of digital image that is almost 30 years old, but recent years have seen its popular use in social content sites like Tumblr and Twitter. In the mission, we research the history of the animated GIF and learn how to make their own.

Since it was our first mission Me Lougein and Francis decided to form a group since we knew each other a bit and it would have been fun to make GIF's together even though Francis knew a bit more than us together.And we had to complete these:

• Work on the mission by reading the recommended reading and completing the recommended tasks

• Sharing our accomplishments, obstacles, and challenges in the  Slack channel under #artoftheanimatedgif

• Had to support other people in my group meaning Lougein and Francis as we all share each others work

• Meet in person at least twice with the people of your group to work on your mission projects (We did't do that because Francis lived a bit far from me and Lougein and Lougein herself has work unfortunately but we talked over the Snapchat group chat we made)

• Write a blog post about your mission at least two Sean had said and had to focus on either the process or our product. 

• Meet with the group to plan for your presentation which is what we did at lunch time those days.

We had about 2 weeks to complete with the research, history, making the GIF's and the creating of the presentation in which i think was a decent amount of time to get all the information and production together in one Microsoft Powerpoint.😁
