(https:\/\/peakd.com\/@alphaccino.art\/on-the-first-day-of-christmas)\n\n***\n\nMy True Self Made a GIF... \nOf An Animated Shaking Christmas Box..!\n\n---\n\n![My Gift of Love (https:\/\/files.steempeak.com\/file\/steempeak\/alphaccino.art\/N4DXLaqU-gift.gif)\n\n<sub>[src (https:\/\/pixabay.com\/photos\/present-gift-box-gold-ribbon-2912709\/)<sub>\n\n---\n\nIn the lead up to Christmas,<br> I've decided to spend some time learning,<br> or should I say 'polishing' some Photoshop skills and what better way to do that than by making cheesy Christmas graphics.\n\nYou may remember in August,<br> when I created and posted [my first gif (https:\/\/steempeak.com\/funny\/@alphaccino.art\/saturday-night-at-the-local) of 'boxing kangaroos'. Making GIF's has been in the back of my mind for a long (long) time as something I really wanted to master however,<br> in all my time using PS,<br> I'd never needed to use the animation feature and as a result,<br> I never did.\n\nHowever,<br> this week I've seen some really fantastic gifs that have been created by some very talented people,<br> either in a post or purely for the shenanigans on Discord. Either way,<br> this has inspired me to hone my craft and become more comfortable with the process of creating them. So,<br> when I came across a similar gif yesterday,<br> I thought it would make an interesting exercise to try and replicate it.\n\nIf you would like to see where the motivation came from... and if you haven't seen it already,<br> please take a look at [this post (https:\/\/steempeak.com\/hive-158694\/@juliakponsford\/new-music-video-supra-programming-a-collab-with-vache-morte-oc) by @juliakponsford... absolutely beautiful images and movement,<br> simply amazing!\n\nOverall,<br> I think my gif turned out pretty good,<br> although I'd love to add some audio of a shaking box; and now that I've uploaded onto a dark background,<br> I can see that I need to work the edges a little (BUT it's just a little waterlogged,<br> she's still good)\n\n> *As a side note,<br> I just wanted to remind people that while it's nice to receive gifts at Christmas,<br> as is the (western) tradition... please remember that in some cases,<br> this **may be the last Christmas you spend with some loved ones** and on **that** note,<br> I just wanted to remind everyone to enjoy the company of friends and family over the holidays and embrace the memories you are creating... because as it so often happens,<br> after everything is said and done... it's the events and memories created on the day that we remember... not so much the material items that were wrapped up as a gift.*\n\nAnyhoo,<br> take care and be safe over the holiday break.\n\nUntil next time... xxx\n\n<center>\n\nhttps:\/\/i.imgur.com\/u7Do3Kd.png\n\nThanks for stopping by and reading my post,<br> I really do appreciate your time.\n### And remember to keep smiling,<br> it makes people wonder what you're thinking...!\n\n<br>\n\nhttps:\/\/i.imgur.com\/VBf96Pj.png\n\nIf you enjoyed reading my post,<br> please follow,<br> comment and upvote.\nAll photos,<br> stories and graphics are my own work unless otherwise noted.\n\n<br>\n\nhttps:\/\/i.imgur.com\/nPCnREd.png\n\nhttps:\/\/i.imgur.com\/u7Do3Kd.png\n\nProudly representing\n\nhttps:\/\/i.imgur.com\/WGuBGxi.png\n\nhttps:\/\/i.imgur.com\/u7Do3Kd.png\n\nProud supporter of @steeming-hot\n\nhttps:\/\/cdn.steemitimages.com\/DQmdCimXD2sHmZFpicaiPQvLwHc8T9mbn1PmU5f9QgbsT4M\/steeming-hot-bot_small.png\n\n<\/center>\n",<br>"json_metadata":" \"app\":\"pruner\",<br>\"message\":\"See you on the other side!\" " |
