Animated GIFs


For my first GIF, I made a clock with a moving minutes hand through Photoshop's frame animation. I have taken two motion graphics classes in my undergrad, however, they were a few years ago so this was a great refresher for me! I think both the frame animation and video timeline features on Photoshop are a great way to create a quick, fun GIF.
I have never played around with onion-skinning before, so this was super fun for me to create! I love to draw and paint so making this made me feel as though I was actually making my animation come to life! I'm excited to keep messing around with it!



I was nonchalantly chewing gum while making my other two GIFs...which gave me the idea for this one! I drew the images in Adobe Illustrator and then used Photoshop's frame animation again to enlarge the bubble!

Mind Blown This is another silly one, but obviously super detailed and complex! Monster I loved this one because of the use of combinin
