Contextual Research: GIF Illustrators

Matt Wilson | Gemma Correll

 Lilli Carré | James Curran

After doing some basic research into GIFs by illustrators I follow on Twitter and through editorial works, I really enjoy the simplicity of these GIFs by Matt Wilson, Gemma Correll, Lilli Carré and James Curran (SlimJim Studios). Everything from the basic shapes, colours, and animated elements make these easy to follow without being too overthought or complex. They each have an individual charm and the reduced shapes and forms help to push that forward. The digital ones have a smoothness in the looping of the frames making them seamless... This is something I want to be able to achieve in my own GIFs. I especially love the textures and morphing shapes of Lilli Carré's GIF - showing that even looped images that aren't exactly smooth in transition can work just as well and give visual interest!
