hi! i love your gifs and i would like to asks some questions if you don't mind. how do you make them not glitch? like my video looks fine and when i play the gif on the timeline it also looks good but when i try to export it i looks all glitchie and the transition are super harsh and i don't know how to fix it :(

Hii 🤗 I don’t mind at all I’m always happy to help. If your gifs looks glitchy or pixelated make sure you’re giffing from a high quality video and you’ve sized your gifs correctly (for tumblr it’s 540px no longer than 810px for single gifs, 268px no longer than 400px for double gifs, and 177px on the sides and 178px in the middle no longer than 400px for triple gifs (but I just make all three gifs 177px wide because I’m indecisive and it’s so much easier)). It could also be the size of your gif file and although tumblr increased the size limit to 8 MB try to keep your gifs under 5 MB or they won’t look so pretty or play properly from my experience. If you follow those guidelines your gif quality should be alright. As for transitions and the speed of the gif I like slowing down my gifs so I usually keep them at a frame rate of 0.07 frames per second but it honestly just depends on the video and your own personal preference. Also just in case none of this is helpful, because you mentioned exporting you can try my exporting process and see if it works better for you. When I’m done making a gif I reflexively smash command+option+shift+S which is the same as clicking file>export>save for web. The following picture is what my export settings on photoshop look like, i’ve included the whole thing but you just have to pay attention to the top right corner. I hope this helped!! 😊💕✨

Sorry if I’m about to ask too many questions but like IVE been thinking about going back to school and one of the things I’ve always loved is fashion and design so what inspired u to do fashion design? Like is there anything you wish you knew before going into it?

Oh no anon you’re good,, you’re not asking too much, I actually kinda wanna thank you for the interest. I find it so cool you’re considering going into fashion too (I can finally talk abt it w someone lol). I’m putting my answers under read more bc it’s a little lengthy 😅

To answer you first question I wasn’t inspired per se it was more like a realization. When I was wondering what program to apply for all the people around me kept recommending I go into fashion and it just made sense?? Mostly because fashion easily became my favourite class I was taking in high school. So I kind of just had this moment where I was like ohh maybe I do wanna go to fashion school (followed immediately after by panic on how to tell my family). But also I should thank my mom for teaching me how to sew when I was two years old. I was a baby!!!!!!! Why did she trust me with a needle!!!!

Okay now for the big money. There is sooooo much I wish I knew before going into fashion school, but most of these things you just kinda to learn for yourself as you go. Fashion is a large industry there’s so much you can do within it don’t glue yourself down to one thing life’s gonna happen and it will work itself out. That being said if you want to be a designer specifically here are somethings I wish I knew beforehand:

love what you’re doing, just like any other program there’s hard work involved and you need something that will keep you going

it is very labour intensive unless you can hire ppl to do the stuff you don’t want to so take good care of yourself! 

developing good time management is very important

Network! Put yourself out there! It helps more than you know. 

save up some money bc school can get expensive, fabric is pricey and you’ll also need to buy various supplies as well

Invest in a good pair of fabric scissors, get them sharpened whenever they start to feel dull, and don’t let anyone else touch them. Ever. I mean it. They should last you a lifetime.

Buy things you will use a lot of (like paper and muslin) in bulk to save you money in the long run (but wait a bit on this one and make sure you’re serious about continuing first)

learning pattern drafting may seem intimidating at first but it’s really not!

learn how to make technicals/flats digitally, adobe illustrator will be your best friend for this

Also don’t over trust giant fabric chain stores they don’t always know what they’re talking about and most of the time just want to make a sale (but you never heard that from me)

No matter your program research it and make sure it’s the right fit for you and it’s better to go and study where you want to work afterwards. Lastly, fashion is a toxic toxic industry please don’t subscribe to the system, be the change you want to see.
