Message Animation

This folder contains the components used to make the #DailyConnect animation for August 1, 2016 as part of the Connected Learning MOOC.

The SVG files were done using Inkscape using a standard numbering method and exported as PNG images (the Inkscape standard for a bitmap export). Each PNG reflected the numbering pattern.

I then used ImageMagick to convert the sequence of PNG images into a single GIF image which winds up as an animation.
ImageMagick command: convert -delay 10 -loop 0 message*.png msg10.gif
