Digital Publishing 2

After Digital publishing 1 which is a meme, in digital publishing 2, I decided to make a Gif.

The Graphics Interchange Format, or known as Gif  is a bitmap image format that was developed by a team at the online services provider CompuServe led by American computer scientist Steve Wilhite on June 15, 1987. Every since that, it has become a most popular used media through internet.

Climate change is a global issue that is already too serious to ignore. Hurricane, mountain fire, glacier melting, sandstorm… Extreme weather happens more and more often, but still there are a lot of people not taking this serious.Since Gif is one of the most popular media forms, I decided to make a Gif that is about Climate change, hopefully it can help to draw more attention.

First, I used VUE which is a shout video editing app to make the short video I found online together.

Second, I used the website GIPHY to generate this Gif.The moving image help create an anxious mood to infect audiences’ emotion.The ” THIS IS SERIOUS” text all in capital and red can easily capture audiences’s attention and clear the motive of this Gif.
