Utopian.io GIF Contest: Open source Economy
Hi everyone
First of all I want to thank Utopian crew for this excellent and artistic initiative.
A special thanks to stellabelle for the amazing idea.
Let's color this space :)
So this is my first entry for the Utopian.io GIF Contest:

Actually, i already knew the giphy platform, but I confess that it was the first time I explored some of its potentialities in this world of the gifs, and I am completely surrendered, it´s very intuitive, very accessible and you have a ton of resources to work with..
Basically the gif was all done in the platform, then I just downloaded it to add a few details in photoshop and then I uploaded again.
GIF LINK
GIPHY ACCOUNT
Observation: I used a different gif to make the tutorial
After creating the account:
I used some gifs from the giphy library archive.
search by the tag you are looking for in the tab search and copy the link

Then lets create some funny gif

Here you can choose a file from desktop, or use a link, in this case i used the link i previous copied from giphy platform

After this will open a window like this, were you can edit style, animation, add stickers and filters and even draw, to finish press "continue to upload" at the bottom of the page.

Open in Photoshop:
Top menu | File | Import | Video frames to layers
Added different colors to logo along all the layers

Conclusion:
Not what i´m used to do, but i love new challenges and this was a lot of fun to do
And this was only the first :D
More to come ;)

Making Gif is quite pretty and easy task tough is only the idea behind it
Took me 5 hours to make my own gif. That does not include the day I spent shooting the photos.
