GIF MINITASKS PROJECT

 

 

INSTRUCTIONS

 

  • You must create your own GIF animations.  You can follow the provided ideas or come up with your own.
  • Your goal is to earn a total of at least 15 points (level 4).  Details below.
  • Your GIF animations are to be placed in a Google Slides document.  One per slide.
  • Your mark depends on the number of points you’ve earned, the quality of your work and the quality of your document.

HOW TO PUT A GIF ANIMATION INTO A SLIDES DOCUMENT

 

  • This is easy. 
  • In Piskel, on the right, click the Export button (mountain and sun icon). 
  • Choose the Scale you want.  The value 10X is usually a good one.
  • Click the Download button to download as an animated GIF.
  • Open Google Slides and go to the slide where you want your animation.
  • Choose Insert > Image and find the image you just downloaded.  (Note that on Windows machines, you can also simply drag the animation from the downloads menu onto your slide.)

 

GOOGLE SLIDE DOCUMENT EXPECTATIONS

 

  • Your document should have a title slide with your name and the project’s name (GIF Animations in Piskel).  An animated title is always a nice touch for this project!

  • Each animation should be on its own slide (see below) that contains:
    • A title
    • An animation (well placed and sized)
    • A frame count for the animation

  • You should have a Summary Slide that lists the total number of animation points as well as the total number of frames in your animations.  See image below.

 

  • You are encouraged to use a Google Slides theme or add some form of décor to your document to make it look more polished.

  • Make sure to avoid spelling errors.
