Computer Internet Tutorial: Animated images

Introduction

There is just a kind of graphic format that is capable of having animated images. It's about a format of chart GIF 89a. It's a sequence of images the time of exhibition of that one controls. It looks a little like a series of cards with different images
. The result can give an animation such as the following charts. Here are some examples. All the images below were created by using Alchemy Mindworks Inc's Gif construction set. Besides seeing the images, there are as well some explanations on the way as the image was created. {Alchemy Mindworks Inc}

The animated GIF can have several advantages:

To demonstrate an option	To demonstrate a possibility of the page
To create this animation, I created in the complete image firsat and gradually removed letters. I then added the images in Gif Contruction Set in reverse order; from the last one to the first.	For this image, I realized a banner of 450 pixels wide by 50 high. I then copied circles of 50 by 50 into new images. Every image was moved by a distance of 25 pixels from the previous one. Then, I used a filter to deform the image and give it a three dimensional effect. I then used then Gif Construction Set to place the images the one behind the other to have the result that you see above.

To demonstrate a concept to the reader of the page such as the functioning of a production line.	do recycle.
This is my very first animated image I created. It's a variation of a diagram for recycling plastics. At first, I created the basic image. Then, I added the objects on the image at an equal distance of one another.	I found the basic image on Corel's bookshop if my memory is any good. I then used Photoshop to realize rotations of 15 degrees. Add them together in Gif Conturction Set, set the timing between every image and there you have it !

This is the most elaborated animation I ever created. It consists of 44 images. I first created in the complete image with all the lines. I then removed the useless points and recorded individually the images. I grouped then together the whole with Gif construction set.
It's not necessary to exaggerate. The animations distract from the text and should be only used to increase the understanding of the message that you want to pass on. It's necessary to pay attention to its use. There are pries who show the animated images or in no way such as Lynx on the Merlin server. But these make more and more rare.
You can find on the Internet several software that allow you to create this kind of chart. The technique to create these images improved with, in other, effects of transitions available on all. If you want to try to create your animated own " gif ", look on the reference page among tools to find animated images editors. Otherwise, you can always use images already created by the other persons and insert them on your Web pages. use keywords " animated gif " on a research site to have a list of sites having available images.
The technique to insert animated gif is identical to that to insert a common image. enjoy a little yourselves!
