Creating gifs
Create Your Own GIF!
That’s right, if you’re an author-illustrator, you can create your own gif! And write about it!
We’re going to have a whole separate category for these special entries! Make sure to keep it spring-themed and kid appropriate (and, of course, use your own original art) then let your creativity blossom
If you’ve never made your own gif and you want to try it out, here’s some tutorials:
