The first gif that I wanted to create was about how people seem to be 'addicted' to wifi. It has become the norm to ask people for their wifi password just seconds after you have stepped through their door. I feel that many people don't realise just how much they rely on having an internet connection in everyday life! I started brainstorming ideas for possible gifs and did some research into existing gifs that were out there, below I have included a couple that I thought represented the topic well. Whilst brainstorming ideas for this gif it reminded me of an exhibition that I had visited at Somerset House earlier in the year. It was the Big Bang Data Exhibition and showed just how easily data was relayed via the internet. One part of the exhibition showed how just by searching for the #cat they were able to pinpoint the locations of thousands of cats. Showing just how easily data is transferred through the internet. I then drew some sketches relating to a couple of the ideas I had for this gif, scanned them in and coloured them in. This allowed my gifs to have a handmade feel to them, whilst still being digital. I then used photoshop to create a frame animation from my images and altered the timings to make it run more smoothly. To me the original gif felt a bit distant, which is why I decided to add a colour to the background. This also helped to tie the whole thing together.
