Playing around with animated GIFs.

An animated GIF is created by placing a series of images in layers, over one another and then timing each layer to be shown for a certain time. I had never explored GIFs before, an still wasn't clear on how exactly they were created. I found an amazing website http://macanimationpro.digitalmedianet.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=183491, that took me through how to create an animated GIF in Photoshop step-by-step. I created a really simple GIF at first, sporting my original blog name, which I have placed on my blog (amber-zombiekillswallow.blogspot.com).
