To create a GIF, we first make a good background color using the gradient tool. Then create any shape we want using the shape tools and rasterize it. Next we show the timeline in Photoshop and create a video timeline. Click the layer and move the shape every time you move the frames in the position. To make it look better, click style, choose the frames then add effects to the shape such as outer glow or inner glow. As you play the GIF after following this procedure, you can clearly see that it moves to the place you put in each frame. Last, lower the capacity of the shape to 0% and the last frame of the GIF, this will create a fading effect of the shape as it moves and make it disappear at the last frame. After the work is down, save for web with the smaller file size that requires less time to upload and make it repeat forever.

Lab 11 GIF
Finally, it's time for the first lab for this new semester. Just right after I heard what we will be doing, I got so exited and wanted to start this lab so badly. This lab is about creating GIF. A really short moving animation created by a few pictures that last about a few seconds. And to start this lab, we had to learn about how many frames is in a second for Photoshop and learn how to use the tools to do the GIF. This lesson is really important, because in the future, we will be creating our own websites in to next few years, and knowing how to create GIF can really help me to create a better website in the future.
