First attempt at an animated GIF

Hello. This picture is my first attempt at an Animated GIF. I will slice it later if it turns out good. Anyway, here's the link.(If the page loads slow, then after it's done loading, hit the refresh button to see the animation at normal speed.)

Not bad, but the changing text sizes take away from it. Of course the whole thing would be far easier to do and implement in flash.

Looks alright, but i would not suggest using it on a website, mostly because it would take a long time to load on people using 56K or something like that.

Yeah, the load time is the only problem. Any other suggestions? Anyone?

Flash will fix the load times too...

I think that the animation is fine.

BUT i have to agree with ShadedNine and say that you should do it in Flash, its just sooooooooo much better :D

and how'd you slice that? :p
yeah, it's almost a meg, not very suitable for web..
Flash'd do that easy and fast, as everyone keeps saying. :D

and oh boy my friend those buttons are big... had to maximize my screen to look at it lol

its only 93k not 930k, but that still is very large. just lower the colors and it will decrease in file size in no time.

Well, I don't have flash so that kind of doesn't help. Also, what'd you mean by how did I slice it? I sliced it perfectly fine and easy but I'm not going to use it. If I want to make another Animated Interface then it will unfold horizontally and the buttons will be much smaller.
