Animated .gif

Rocket Surprise Ending

My first efforts in developing my own animated gif was coming up with a rocket surprise ending. The techniques applied and story I created was my interpretation and my own little spin-off of the Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un beef. I used a Photoshop template my teacher gave me as a starting point to create my masterpiece. The GIF starts off with Donald Trump sending a rocket to Korea to destroy Kim Jong Un, and it ends with the Korean leader eating it.


Colony Basketball

My school themed gif I chose was basketball.
I decided on this school theme because I like basketball and I like to support my school teams. 

My animated gif message was to entertain students and staff members and maybe get more support for the school's basketball team.

I believe the intended audience, the students, will respond to my animation because it is a silly GIF and would likely be shown around campus and draw more attention toward the basketball games and get more of an audience at games. 

I sent the gif to the varsity basketball coach, Mr. DeFabiis, and the response I received was nothing.


What I would do differently with my next project would be add more detail, such as color or more figures to draw more attention to it, as well as make it longer.
