Today’s August 2013 GIF Challenge is August 2013 GIF Challenge #9: Empower the Unicorn. My friend Tina is thinking of the ds106 servers which seem to be having a wee bit of bother.
Perhaps you can help the unicorns and the rainbows? Make an animated GIF celebrating the behind the scenes work that keeps the ds106.us server happy.
I imagine that an animated gif is a good representation of the work involved in keeping a server up, it never stops.
Here is a unicorn speeding through the centre of the rainbow:
And here is one bringing reinforcements:
Using the public domain File:The Horse in Motion-anim.gif – Wikimedia Commons.
Made with Fireworks.
- Open the gif
- Through the frames deleting background.
- Through again adding a horn (copy paste, rotate & move)
- New gradient layer behind horse on first frame.
- Copy
- Paste onto each frame changing the gradient.
The second the gradient is twice the width of the gif and is pasted and moved on each frame.
