FASHGIF: graphics+pictures

Amazing GIFs made from FASHGIF (more on http://fashgif.tumblr.com/ ) about their favorite outfits from Tokyo fashion week ss2013 (Anrealage and Everlasting Sprout).

So far I just found animated gifs made just from frames of pictures, so I LOVE the use of minimal graphics and colors ON the pictures.

MORE THAN A PHOTO BUT NOT QUITE A VIDEO. The inspiring work of JAMIE BECK and KEVIN BURG

What really surprised me about animated gifs is the amazing work of the creative duo Jamie Beck/Kevin Burg. Together in their studio in Manhattan, Ann Street Studio, they created a new form of medium called Cinemagraph, a simple way to "allowing a moment to live forever". I'd say fresh and romantic, amazing combo.

Here some examples of their art.
