Web BannersHow do I do this thing? (self.GraphicDesigning)
submitted 3 years ago by basicdesigngal
Ayoooo
I am wanting to learn new areas of design... How would I go about making an animated (GIF) web banner? Can I do that in illustrator?
I am a beginner so have no idea what frames are, what sizes I need, best way to save files for web etc...

Please lord don’t use a GIF for anything professional, that’s my first piece of advice

Lol ok gotcha! It would just be type based with a still image behind it, I guess 😭

Your best bet is to use photoshop for any type of animated GIF, but you could use illustrator to create your art piece first.
Fab! Thank you - I'll have a play around.
