blinkies?
 

I was wondering who makes all the lovely blinkies and such and if you girls have any tips...i do make em...but more simple...I love all the CT ones and stuff here!!
TIA!

I know how to make them, but not sure if I am the best at explaining the process. Kris (uptowngirl) and I are getting ready to set up shop for blinkie making.

If you are interest in the "fan of" blinkies for the designers here, you can grab them on the blog (Left hand side) :)

Great question Holly! I've got the traditional blinkies down, and some basic tweening ones, but I love all of the different ones here. LOL Must learn how! :thumbup:

They are basically a lot of animation, and A LOT of frames! lol

lol ok thanks for the tips!

k...so are we getting new fan blinkies??

Let us know when you do this! I've been wanting some personal blinkines for my blog and signature on MB's. I'd love to see what you've got and get more info when you guys get going with this.

I have animation shop from Jasc. But what program do you ladies use to animate your blinkies?

I use Adobe Image Ready. :)

I use Photoshop CS3.

Most definitely will let you know!

To give you an idea of blinkies we have made I made this one for ScrapKitchen:

And Kris made this one for a personal blog:

Here are a couple I have made for friends. They are bigger than usual:

We both enjoy doing it and though why not make it a biz. So we are working on that as we speak. lol

Also, we have made more than that, but to give you an idea.

Your pretty good becca....i can do the really simple ones...but i would love to learn how to make them move side to side like that...hehe

ok i don't think that made any sense!

Thanks Holly! Like I said, it really is a lot of working with the animation and going frame by frame to get the movement that you want.

yeah haha i will just have to practice...i made a one for me...
eta: removed blinkie!
this was a month or so ago...that's my extent so far! haha

That is a good start! You really do just have to play around with it.

yeah just another thing for me to fiddle with!!! hehe

I just did mine for my blog...I am pretty proud...need to work out some kinks with the animation and the darn drop shadow on one of the layers...but I am excited! I usually do the traditional blinkies, so this was a step up! :D

Love that Gabby! Now I may have to go make one...

Haha yeah Gabby you need to tell me what you did!

I'm just gonna have to stick with what I've got, cause I can't afford anything else,lol. For a while at least :p

LOL Brooke!!!

You did fab Gabby!

Thanks Becca!!! :D
