3. My Examples of GIF Animation 

    3A)

        This is the slogan of TeamCIA.  for this animation I first put a background on each animation frame.  I then, using different colors, wrote the words on top of the backgrounds.  Last I added the image transitions.  I saved and added it to my web page.  I used 36 frames.  All frames with words are 25/100th's of a second.  The transition frames are 17/100th's.  I used a variety of effects for this animation.    

    3B) Motivational Quote Animation http://dir.yahoo.com/Reference/Quotations/ 

        This is a motivational quote animation.  the process for this animation was the same for the slogan.  I added a filled frame of the compliment color to each frame.  the delay for each frame ranges from 16/100th's to 99/100ths.   I used a variety of effects for this animation.  I copied a picture of Cosby from a website to use in my animation.

    3c) Animate your Micro Button.  This is my micro button and a few of my friends micro buttons.  I am a huge fan of James Bond.  This is the 40th anniversary logo of Bond.  I used this for my micro button.  I added effects to the image.  I made the background black and added my screen name to the animation.   I used a variety of effects for this animation.  The animation is 29 frames varying from 30/100 to 15/100th's of a second.    

    3d) My favorite car is the BMW Z3 Roadster.  I copied the picture of the car and BMW's logo to the animation.  there are 43 frames in the animation.  the picture of the car and the logo last for 1 second each.  the transitions last for 16/100ths.   I used a variety of effects for this animation.
