not tiresome or outdated - the same can be said of animated JavaScript backgrounds, but at least the technique isn't outdated (and very difficult to do effectively). GIF backgrounds are difficult to make: 1. Say I have a background pattern and I want to randomly move the elements inside to get a natural look of particles moving for a website background (should I use a gif for an animated background on a website ?)Īnimated. That can be combined with some JavaScript to create a custom background for your website. The animated image should be quite small and the animation optimized. I have some artwork in illustrator that I would like to animate and get a gif. or you can add particle systems to generate really random stuff. Normally you will have keyframe animation. you can use Blender () which is free and assigns emission materials and turns off shadows, to have a flat look. If you still want to go with animated gifs. You can do it using PNG sprites animation, and animating them using CSS. which is not a good idea because this needs to load the entire image each time. You normally will use Mp4 video and paste it as a background using some JavaScript. an explosion has random stuff flying around. This will assume your "randomness" is inside the video itself. But you need how to code HTML and CSS.īut this will not be random at all, this will be keyframe animations. This is in the realm of graphic web designers. search for some codes already made you can use: Using a specific JSįor example, if the thing you want to animate is snow. It can animate exported assets from Illustrator to PNG or SVG.īut probably this is out of the realm of graphic design and more into programming. There are some libraries that can help you animate stuff The main point here is your requirement "to randomly move the elements" the only way to randomly move elements is using JavaScript. The background of the GIF should match (since the planning stage) the final background it will have.īut you have several other options: 2. Use flat design style images, with a limited palette. Use as few frames as possible, normally for a loop.
Normally it is best to use it at real scale, if the image is 400x400px display it as 400x400 px, do not scale it or blow it up to cover all background.
especially for a web page, (Which I am assuming you want the animation for) 1.
I am making a semi-random list of ideas of several options you have to animate stuff. This depends on the image you have, the type of animation you want, and the place where you are going to put the animation. First of all, you need to define if an animated gif is what you need.
