In response to the Utopian post suggested by @stellabelle, I decided to participate in the contest and try doing gifs with images.

I have created gif files before using videos, but I have never created gif files with images.

Using images is something very new to me so I decided to give it a try and see what I can come up with using the images given to us in the Utopian post.

My First Gif Submission to the Contest

I fooled around with the images and created my first animated gif using the Utopian images:

I don't know how to adjust the size yet but I like the effect. It is a slide effect of moving from one image to the next.

Still, the logo looks a bit big to me at the moment.

My Second Gif

So for my second gif, I tried to use smaller images of the Utopian Logo and tried to get an animated effect.

And this is what I have come up with after fooling around with these images.

For this gif, I tried to create an effect like someone doing snap shots with their cameras. It would be good to have the last image with words remaining longer but after many tries, I still could not create that effect. Maybe i need another editor to make that image longer.

How I created these Gifs.

I used the Animated Gif Maker

I created these Gif images using the Animated Gif Maker on this site:
https://ezgif.com

I used the Gif Maker tabs and uploaded these images onto the Gif online maker in the order that I want these images to appear.

I then uploaded them in order & clicked to create Gif.

Further Thoughts - To Make Improvement

I am just beginning to learn how to create animated gif files. This is just the beginning of learning. In coming days, I will learn how to create 'moving' gifs.

Right now, my images are static. I don't have any moving objects on my gifs.

So I need to learn more to see how to get objects moving on these gifs.

Uploading onto Giphy site

We are asked to upload our Gif files onto the Giphy site.
So I signed up with the Giphy site.

This is my Giphy channel:
