Lab 11 GIF Reflection Journal

       In this lab I created a GIF in Photoshop. A GIF is a moving image. First I opened up PS opened up a new document renamed it as lab11_sheimabegum_vd and made sure the preset was default size. Then I used the gradient tool and made a line across the canvas. Then I used the custom shape tool to make a star. I rasterized the layer. I used the timeline and put key-frames on the style and opacity. The effects I used were outer glow and inner shadow. Then after that I used the custom shape tool again to make a flower. I put key-frames on the position so it could move around. I put key-frames in the opacity so that it could look like it was fading but then put it back to normal at the end and also put some key-frames on the style. The effect I used for the flower was drop shadow. It was fun to experience how to make a GIF. Then I went to file and clicked on save for web. I chose the one that took less time and set the looping options to forever. I can use these skills in the future to make more GIFS for future projects and labs.
