Fun Retro Web

Check out this animated gif galore at I’m Not An Artist. I remember the days I had to make many animated gifs.

It was back in 1999 and they’re these teeny-tiny animated-gif stamps for Eastern Mountain Sports’ e-card campaign. These mini banner ads are to be placed on the corner of  send-to-friend email templates and I had to actually come up with banner concepts and copy. Oh, and there’s one for every sports they cater to: snow-shoeing, mountain-climbing, skiing, kayaking… The list didn’t seem to end. I was really sick of animated gifs after that.

On the other hand, Love Creative site is a throwback to Powerpoint 97. Remember those cool wipe-out or dissolve transitions that used to make you go “ooohhh!” because you thought those are dope? They have all of them. Very retro indeed.
