GIFs update

Hi guys, welcome back to my second blog! Hope you all enjoy, This is the second instalment of the first mission, there will be another one after this. It will be my reflection.

This is an update on the mission of Art of the Animated GIF. We are halfway through our presentation, we are working well as a team so this is exciting to see it all come together. When I say we’re halfway there (wooow living on a prayer, sorry I had to) we have basically finished it we just have to do a little tweaking and fine-tuning! We all have similar ideas but we all come up with different stuff to add it in to make it better. I'm overall happy with the work we all put in and how it has come out. It’ll be exciting to see how it’ll look when we’re all done! I think we are really doing good work, especially for our first group project. We are all enjoying it and seeing it come together. We did end up using different resources than said before, I just used GIPHY for all the GIFs I needed. GIPHY was so handy to use as it had so many different gifs to use and it even let us make GIFs on the website so we made quite a few GIFs, we only included a few as we didn’t want to overpower the whole thing if it was covered in GIFs. I ended up spending hours on GIPHY looking at all the GIFs they had, my laptop memory is now nearly taken up with the number of GIFs I saved, lol. I didn't end up needing other resources as the slides I was doing, I had knowledge of already which was very handy! We used Google Slides to make the presentation that enabled us all to make the slides we needed to make and without having to send them to someone and telling them to put them all together, it worked very well and let everyone do their own part in their own time. This was an eye-opener as I had never used google slides before, it really just made it handy to do the teamwork we could communicate and then edit it and all. I definitely learned way more about GIFs in general and the history behind them. It was very interesting to learn about it, I didn’t realise the history behind them at all, I just thought they just popped up randomly when someone realised they could make them. Lauren and Danniella did great work too throughout the mission and their slides were very interesting! Overall I'm very happy with what we did and I hope everyone enjoys our presentation and we get good marks as that would make it all worth it! I'm also very happy with how much I learned about GIFs and I hope we can pass all the information we learned to everyone else. 

Thanks for reading, I hope you all enjoyed it. I’ll be back soon with my reflection for this mission, 
Talk soon,
