As I start to learn all about the nooks and crannies of Animated Gifs I thought I’d start this post to look back on. I’m excited to dive into this as it’s something many people use on a day to day basis when interacting with people. I'ts been around for years but doesn't seem like it. I only discovered gif's about a year ago and its something still very new to me personally.
My first Goal: Is to learn about the ins and outs of Gifs! Is this something that’s going to last long or will it die out just as soon as it started? I want to learn about where they started. What was the thought process behind it all and what other areas there possibly used in other than social media. This isn't something i ever thought i'd be doing an assignment on but it'll be interesting to see what i learn.
My Second Goal: Is to properly dive into it. I want to get my creative juices flowing as this is such a creative part in my eyes and I want to learn the different concepts and what’s involved in getting all of this done. I want to see the step by step process of Animated Gif's. I want to challenge myself in learning how to make them. I found theres a few simple apps and even discovered on instagram theres a tool to make gif's. It's something that's still so current even though its's been around for years. I’m eager to learn.
My Third Goal: Is to have fun! I sometimes have a tendency to take things to seriously and forget to actually enjoy myself. Yes this is something to take serious and learn but I want to prove to myself that this can be something done in a fun way and I’ve a feeling I’ll even learn something about myself and how I can handle assignments like this. I've been used to typing up essays and not having assignemnts so hands on where it not only for us to gather the facts but thats not the most important part. I'ts putting in the actual effort and having an end result. Let the fun begin.
Thanks for reading!

Me
As a 22 year old that’s slightly awkward at times this whole thing about blog posts is slightly out of my comfort zone. Funny enough it’s actually something I’ve wanted to do for a while. Here we go anyway. What’s to know about me? As a girl from the sticks of Longford I guess I’d be considered a culchie and that’s something I’m okay with. Moved to Dublin wanting to find my passion and do things for myself and not because I had to do it or because my parents wanted me to. It’s only now I’m figuring out what that might be and it’s taken me some time and I’m still figuring it out. I’m 22 and went back to 1st year again and it was one of the most gut wrenching things I’ve done and I’m glad I did it so let’s see what the next 3 years has to offer.
Intro to Digital Media
Im writing this not knowing exactly where to start but I guess that happens in any course. Let the fun begin I guess.
