  • You have one primary animating deliverable based upon the same the 5"x 5" illustration process we have been doing in class.

You will start with last week's or a new composited colored illustration.

    • If you want to make an animated gif you should use 800 x 800 or 1000 x 1000 pixels
  • Create a file with at least 10 seconds of animation.
