i personally think your animations fit signatures way better than my do but since you know how frustrating it can be sometimes to make an animation...i would like to hear your opinion... |
Well, basically I started off making animated sigs because I felt that brushes and filters are
overused and
overrated.
*cough*because I don't know how to use them*cough*
When I incorporate animation into my sigs (
which is in almost all of them), I try to make it so that the animation complements the sig, adding a little spice without overwhelming it.
At first I was gonna rant and whine about the limitations of the GIF format's 256 colours restrictions. That was when I decided to google for some facts before I sounded like an idiot. I'm pretty glad I did, because I found this little titbit from

GIF files were constructed with just a single image block, even though the GIF standard placed no limit on the number of blocks. Since there was no use for more than 256 colors, there was no use for more than one image block. This practice became effectively ingrained into the computer culture and eventually everyone "knew" that GIF supported no more than 256 colors. The fact is, the programs that generated GIF files supported no more than one image block, and thus didn't have a means to deal with more than 256 colors.
