GIFs a re a great way to show an extension to an image. We are suppose to create a minimum of 1 moving image for this project and at the beginning of this project I was like; "ok, I got this!" however the more I drew my illustrations the more I started to wonder what could I do for moving image?! I was thinking too big and too loud when I really shouldn't have.
GIFS.
Gifs are such a easy thing to create but they make such a difference!!!
The hard dick
This was the first one I made and even though it was so simple people in class when they walked pass were like "hun, you alright there?!", "why is the shape of the dick like this?!", "I feel uncomfortable".
I got some amazing responses and that was just by leaving this one my screen and seeing how people would react. Straight away I though okay, I don't need to over complicate this, simplicity is key as my illustrations already speak enough for themselves.
The cool smoke
This one I really wanted to create a gif out of it because I though maybe it shouldn't always be focused on the bodies. It was a way for me to explore how I can make other objects and things within the illustrations to move and show their characters.

These are the reactions I have received so far! I am absolutely loving 9GAG and people's reactions. There are so individual and different to other websites. I am so glad I started posting in there as it's amazing to see how people react and reflect back onto my work. Some people even inspire and me give different ways to provoke them as they really express their feeling as to what has provoked them and got to them.
Christmas is coming!
As I was creating this illustrations from my Chapter 2 - Holiday, I straight away knew what I would do for a moving image for it. Snow it was! As I send this to my brother and some other friends to see their reaction I also though of another idea for this!

It's funny seeing how people react. It also shows how fast this goes out in the world in less than houlf an hour 5 comments and 20 upvotes.
Let it snow!
This one was an inspiration from the one above. I though why not explore something different and go beyond the stereotypical snow.

It was interesting to see even though this was more provoking I did receive less reactions or maybe people were so provoked they didn't want to react?! Who knows?! However, another thing you must know is that I also uploaded it into a different sections of 9GAG. The one above was uploded into the section called 'Girly things' and this one was uploaded into the section called 'AWESOME'. This also shows how different audience look at different sections of 9GAG. It shows a massive difference to my reactions too.
Overall feelings and thoughts.
I think that GIFs are such a simple thing to do yet difficult. It's important to know what could and should move to make the person on the other side feel vulnerable and uncomfortable. This is how you can trigger them and their emotions. This is why I think that I need to stop over thinking and just go with it and see where it takes me. I have had some great reactions from doing this. GIFs are also an amazing way to bring my illustrations to LIVE. I think it adds a little twist and surprises the audience.
