GIF images consist of a set images that are displayed in a set order. They tend to be moving graphic (or animated) images that loop endlessly.According to Sarah Horton, "GIFs lose compression to keep the file size at a minimum without destroying the photo's quality." Typically, GIFs can seen throughout the web, yet they are commonly seen on Internet forums and media coverage blogs--creating comic relief. Make sure that the GIF being used is professional and connects with what the site's central theme or message is. | GIF images consist of a set images that are displayed in a set order.
