Low-Poly Driving Van
It’s hard to argue that animations are much more fun than static images. This is my very first dribbble shot. Animated shots where limited to GIFs with a miximal size of 10MB and cropped to a 4:3 aspect ratio but this is probably why I love 💕 dribbble. Having some specification to fight against or to play with enables people with creativity. Just like twitter when they only allowed 140 characters: having to communicate something fancy with restricted characters or megabytes is a fertile challenge
Stop using GIFs
When you are designing and producing graphics for the Web, it is of utmost importance to keep your file sizes as small as possible. GIFs are not optimized to be used on the web: their file size is very large and decoding GIFs in the browser is not a very performant operation. Use the <video> tag instead
