Tj4real's Submission for the Utopian GIf Contest
No body enters a contest without a slight possibility of winning. I designed my gif from scratch using photoshop. Photoshop has been my friend since i started my photography and i thought it wise to at least experiment my arquired skills by joining this gif contest. I love gifs mostly because, they are often without a voice. I am averagely a shy type and wouldnt want to talk more. My gif actually portrays the utopian-io community leading to freedom in the opensource community. When i say freedom, i mean financial freedom. Previously no or little rewards were given to participants in the opensource world but utopian has come to change the picture.
This is Actually my finished work. Utopian liberating the masses
I used photoshop 2017 to make my gif.
First of all i designed the gif from scratch. I started by exploration of posible background for my gif.
I started by creating a new document with the dimensions 5cm by 5cm using 300p/inch resolution
After creating the layer. I manipulated the layer settings to produce a nice yellow background for my gif. I will say, this part is left for you to show your artistry and graphics eyes. But basically, i used gradient fill to create
All editing on the layers was done by double clicking the layer
After double clicking the layer, a window called layer style will appear with major editing settings that you can tweak to suite your taste.
I basically tweaked bevel and embossed, contour and texture to get my desired effect. After the layout was made. It was time to get into the animation part which was quite cumbersome.
I created two diffused objects with a mauve colour. Then i created a gradient arrow showing the direction where the utopian logo is headed to. I imported the utopian logo and started animation using the timeline element. After using the timeline element, my results was this:
Then i uploaded it to giphy.com where i did some additional editing to produce the final gif file. Using giphy is really simple and not as complex as photoshop but photoshop is always the master.

I hope you enjoyed the Gif. Thanks @tj4real.
