Animated Gifs

Post by **Rainbow Brite UK** » Fri Jul 02, 2010 12:17 am

Hello fans!
While working on more screenshots for the photo gallery for the website I decided to make some Animated Gifs.

But I wasn't sure what sizes would be best to make. Does anyone have a preference of sizes and scenes?

So far I've done 100X100
Here are some Stormy Gifs.
UPDATED: File size under 100 kb now

Of course you may use them. I will be making all images available for download for free on the website as I create them. At this time I was wanting more image ideas.

These are great, but it's too bad they can't really be used on some sites. There are sites that have a file size limit for icons, which is what these are the perfect dimensions for. They're just too large file wise. I do know that LiveJournal, for example, won't let someone use an animated GIF larger than 40 kb

That is the information I need! Thank you! I don't know where people like yourselves would use them, or what file or pixel sizes you would need, so that I can properly make them.

Any others places you use them?

I'm going to make a variety of characters and scenes, but wasn't sure about other things, like sizes.

Do they all have to be small, or can you make signature sized ones? My SSC board allows big pictures and I use RBB pics there sometimes.

Well, the topic of this post is directed specificly towards "Avatars" or Userpics, but I can make "Banner" size ones too. I would need to know the dementions file size requirements.......and specifics such as text or scene.

I was thinking of making some "Love" banners eventually, but right now, I'm working on the small ones.

Did you have something in mind?
