These gifs have been the most fun project to date. Going forward, I envision many late-night gif-making sessions, and annoyed friends whose Facebook timelines I will now post them on.
In terms of art history, the process of making gifs allows individuals to draw from so many historical art forms, which establishes gifs firmly in my mind as the medium of the millenial generation and the apex of postmodernism. Everything that has come before can be compounded into an array of gifs, from the artful to the mundane.
As in the gifs I created for this project, photography provides an excellent jumping off point, as does a brand new Photoshop project created using only Photoshop tools and no external images. The gifs created solely in Photoshop are definitely my favorite.
I plan to better utilize the number of pixels in order to create a sharper image in future gif projects.
