Egghead's Animated Sig Tutorial

[egghead]

Hi everyone!

Welcome to Egghead's Animated sig Tutorial.

I will give you an idea on how I make animated sigs using gif animator. To start we need to think of what we want. Since halloween is fun we are going to use halloween as the theme.

So.... first thing we need to do is to find art or pictures.

Open up google and at the top you will see images tab.



Select that and type in "spooky". Now you will see lots of cool picture possibillities.

Heres a good one

I have decided that this website has so many that are good that i want to use them for our sig.

Here are the animations I will be using.
