Session One: Intro and Creating visual content using UnFREEz

The focus of this session was to use an animated gif maker software called UnFREEz to make visual content. If you look carefully at how the name is spelt, you will notice that the emphasis in the name is on the word "FREE". That's right, the software can be downloaded for free.

But what are animated gifs? Here is a definition of what animated gifs are which is provided by PCMagazine.com.

Two things I would like you to remember when creating animated gifs.
1) The image files you use must be in .gif format. JPG, TIFF, PNG, PSD, etc. formats will not work.

2) All images need to be of the same size. It is for this reason that I would recommend that when your images are of unequal size, embed them in Powerpoint, save the slides in .gif format, and then upload your identical sized images into UnFREEz.

Welcome to hours of creative fun.
