Animated Lettering for GIFs: Boost Your Online Presence

“Well done! You have reached the end of this course. Thank you for joining me and I hope you've enjoyed venturing into the world of lettering and GIFs. Before saying goodbye, let's review the necessary steps to complete your project:

• Identify which word or phrase you will develop into a GIF, either according to your own or your clients' needs.

• Use pen and paper to sketch different variants of your selected word or phrase, changing the composition and font. Keep in mind that this is better in a thumbnail format to imitate the actual size of your GIF.

• When selected, redraw your word on Procreate using one of the animation techniques shown in the course. Then, create your own GIF. Upload your GIF onto GIPHY and don’t forget to add relevant tags.

• Congratulations! Your GIF is now available on Instagram. You can use it to enhance your story posts and make it “on brand” with your project.

I can't wait to see the final results of all your hard work. You can share your project with all of us by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both the final result and the steps that have led you to it. It would be great if you showed a picture of each step and added a brief explanation about what you have done in each one, so I can give you feedback. See you there! ”
