Creating Animated Gifs

The world of animated gifs is a fascinating one indeed. Anyone can create animated gifs, irrespective of the graphics skills one has. Usually the initial animations will look ugly and wierd but with practice and after viewing hundreds of animations on the web the animations will begin to look better, until one day you will say... "ah I'm proud of this animation".... This pride will be greater when your animations will be used in diferent web pages.

First of all let us explain what is an animated gif. An animated gif is the collection of a number of images (frames) which when played in sequential order make a movie like effect.

This small lesson has been divided into different sections, each section will cover all the different aspects of creating animated gifs. I hope you enjoy it. If you have any problems do not hesitate to put them forward.
