Hello dear Abbie, it is I, your usergif style swap partner, here to (finally) probe you for all your Photoshop wisdom! I wanted to ask you what your usual process for creating a gifset is - do you work off scenes or a specific quote or concept first? Do you have any colours you're drawn to? And (the dreaded question) are there any go-to fonts you use?
hi hi!! idk that i have a ~process~ per se haha i usually just hear lyrics or see quotes that i relate to certain characters or dynamics and i kind of see the set play out in my head if that makes sense? i'm not really sure how to explain it LOL sorry </3 i looove working with purple (big shocker) and green, although i do still hold a lot of love in my heart for greyscale sets :D and my go-to fonts would probably be the ones i gave for usergif's two recs & used in the nynf event earlier this year!!

hi alie! it’s me again, your usergif anon!! if you had to choose 3 gif sets that encapsulates your style perfectly which would you choose? whats your favourite effect and your least favourite? have a wonderful day 💜

henren + champagne problems
buddie + a little bit happy
buddie + love languages
eddie + good luck babe!
favorite effect... i'd say probably fun layouts? fun colors? ohhh typography as well! i love matching and finding fonts. least favorite is probably coloring frame by frame, which i almost never do lol, i am too lazy

hi char! this is your usergif style swap partner 🫶 i've been going through your creation tag today to plan the gifset and i've thought of a few questions i'd like to ask you :) - do you have some favorite fonts or maybe a favorite type of font? - what are your most used/favorite colors or color combos? - current favorite media(s)?
hope you're having a great day!
hiiii! so sorry this took me so long to respond to 🫣
- i’d say my fav fonts are simple ones that have some fun details if that makes sense. some of my go tos right now are bumerang, modern no. 20 italic, and kiona
- hmm i’d say purple&yellow is a fun favorite and also pink&blue!
- well for giffing im back in my hunger games era rn but as for watching i recently just watched 10 things i hate about you and currently rewatching seinfeld and friends lolll
tysm for asking these qs!! have a lovely day <33

hi hi! your usergif style swap anon back one more time😁what are some of your favorite sets? do you have colors you like especially like to work with? what are some of your go-to fonts? wishing you well! 💖
hello!!!! <333 hope ur having a great day 🤭
my favourite sets:
this borgia siblings one! i had a lot of fun making it and trying out the fade in transition!
this reign women one x seasons of my love - i was just so satisfied to see how the colours turned out with all the blending
this reign season 4 character cards one - i love a good rainbow/multicoloured set and the overlay pngs were gorgeous and i just had to use them <3
this seventeen discography set - looking back on it a year later i think there are some things i'd improve but i just love this set so much for the colours and it was more an act of love for a fave artist
this seventeen 'trauma' song set - just for the fonts and colour manipulation from blues/cyan to red/lime
colours i like to work with!!
if the file is hd i love nothing more than changing blue/cyan to reds and oranges its just soooo satisfying but if its a lowquality file then i wont even bother 😭
but tbh overall i've used a lot of bright colours in the past but nowadays i really like less colour manipulation and more muted colours even in blending, and esp for period dramas 😭 like in this set if that makes sense
go to fonts!
i hope that helps!!! 🧡

hi nanda! usergif style swap anon here and i'm looking forward to interacting with you over the next few weeks 😃 to start with something simple, what are your go-to movies and tv shows to watch in your free time?
Hiiii!!
I'd say my go to shows are Psych and Leverage while my go to movies are usually some rotation of Disney/DreamWorks/other animation (examples: Mulan, How to Train Your Dragon, Tangled etc)

hi usergif style swap partner! thanks for answering my last ask!
back with another couple questions for ya: what makes your style quintessentially yours? is there anything you’d absolutely say your style is not?
Hi Style Swap anon! It's been a quite a whirlwind of last 10 days with school and etc but I love these questions 😃
I personally like to experiment with a wide range of effects / styles as — I love blurring the lines between graphics & gifsets, and I tend to gravitate towards the following:
Rotoscoping (either to cut out characters or recolour backgrounds)
Using Gold / Holographic layer styles on typography
Enjoy using holographic or starry textures
Neural Filters for artistic effects in my gifs
As of something my style is not: I usually have some typography as well as some coherent colour scheme in my gifsets, so for this q I'd go for anything without font pairings / colour manipulation!
P.S. I hope you have a lovely week ahead of you 💖

It is I once again, your usergif style swap partner! Thank you for your wonderful insights on your stunning gifmaking process and for answering my questions! I completely get what you mean re: hearing a lyric or reading a quote and just seeing it in your mind, I relate to that a lot. So to take that further, I know you absolutely adore Taylor Swift (rightfully!), but are there any other artists or specific songs that really speak to you?
hi hiiiii <3 omg not you clocking me 🙈 (she says as though she does not have taylor swift plastered over every inch of her online presence) normally the answer would be difficult however you are in LUCK because i have recently been doing some ~things~ and one required me to make a playlist of sorts and i challenged myself to only include one taylor swift song (and i succeeded. who’s proud of me) so these are some artists (f+tm, hozier, reneé, sza) and songs (not strong enough, runaway, escapism) that have really been impactful recently:
and i also made a playlist at the start of the year with (again) the challenge of only one taylor song so i’ll link that for you here mwah aaaaand lastly some notable mentions that aren’t on either of these lists are billie eilish (p much everything she’s ever made), olivia rodrigo (mostly sour, i haven’t really had enough time with guts), sabrina carpenter (mostly nonsense but that’s not helpful sorry LMAO) and recently maisie peters’ history of man <3

hey yash! this is your usergif style swap partner <3 I'm so excited!! I was wondering if you could tell me what your current favourite live action media is, and also what your favourite colours to work with are. have a great day!
hello! this is exciting!
i had to think about this for a bit because currently i went back to my anime era 😅 it’s very hard to choose because for some reason, live action hasn’t been hitting the same for me recently. i guess if i had to choose, it would be bridgerton s2 (i know it’s a cop out. but i can’t help that they single-handedly changed the trajectory of my life)
i love working with blue and purple! it does help that they are my favorite colors!

hi becca! it's your usergif style swap anon here! how are you doing? i wanted to ask if you could share what some of your favourite gif effects to use/see are and what you like about them?
hello lovely ❤️ i am doing well thank you and i hope you are too and are looking after yourself!!
oooo yes okay great question! so i guess my big ones are use of colour, i rarely make anything these days that isn't colourful in one way or another because i just have such fun doing colour manipulation. also, i absolutely adore blending, blending just makes a set special to me. there's something super special in pairing up scenes and it really brings a gif to life! it's something i adore in giffing myself because there is something so satisfying in pairing scenes together and when a blend works it's just magic. and if you can get a good shot that adds texture to the gif of even a triple blend i'm literally just 🤯
and if i have time for it, then i love making use of shapes and such to create 'multiple gifs in one' so to speak. one of my favourites lately is ripped paper (like this!) because i think it creates such a perfect contrast in one gif when you're making a set. i also adore geometric shapes in gifsets, i have a weakness for interlinking geometric shapes and i still think one of my fav sets i made was when i made shapes out of shapes (here) because there's something so satisfying about it. i have a very neat and organised brain i guess so the use of symmetrical patterns makes it happy!!!
i could probably go on because honestly i love all giffing effects because giffing is just so cool ok and people are so creative and amazing and wow with what they can do!!! but those are some of my faves so hopefully that will help ❤️

hi becca!! it's your usergif style swap anon here! just wanted to say i'm super excited to be paired with you (but also intimidated bc your creations are amazing and i hope to do them justice) <3 to start off, what are some of your favorite fonts and colors?
hello lovely usergif style swap anon!! i am so incredibly excited to see what you come up with<3 i have full confidence that you'll do more than just justice to it, i think you'll absolutely blow me away!
to answer your questions: i'm always doubting fonts but some i'll always go back to are church text b, memoriam iii, megloria and preta. but my most treasured font is tw cen mt, it's simple but it's my beloved and i rely on it so much as a 'simple' font for sets.
and it's a poor response but i love so many colours! if it's vibrant, i'll be there for it. giffing-wise, i would say i'm very much drawn to yellow, yellow just feels like home to me and something that i always accidentally gravitate to when i go into a set not quite knowing what to do. i really love complimentary colours, so yellow and purple is one of my fav combos, and i also absolutely adore a yellow and blue or yellow and minty green! i also just love greens in general (its my fav colour) but i personally don't think i'm that good at giffing with shades of green.
apologies for rambling on but i hope this answers your questions and if you have any more, please don't hesitate to ask<3 i really can't wait to see what you make and please remember: don't feel any pressure because i'll love anything you create!

hi alie!! i’m your usergif style swap anon 🥰 i hope you’re having a wonderful day! how do you stay creative and inspired while making such beautiful sets? ✨❤️
omg hiiii, tysm <33 honestly these past couple of weeks it's been hard to find inspiration. but my main trick is that i have a private discord server where i keep a bunch of inspiration: other people's creations, lyrics, quotes, etc. sometimes i'll watch something and go "omg this scene yes" and will write down the timestamp for later use. so when i feel creative and don't know what to do, i go through this server to gather inspiration. it usually works! but there are times where only time will help haha, like right now 😅

hi alie! it’s your usergif style swap anon again 🥰 i was wondering if you had a certain way you plan out your creative gifs? how do you decide the layout, colours and text of the sets? you’re so talented and i want to learn as much as i can about your creative style! have a wonderful day 🩵
hiii!! i usually figure out what i'm gonna gif (it's usually a pairing/character x song lyrics) and try to let the words speak for themselves? like, whatever the lyrics give me, a feeling or a color or whatever, i try to translate that into the set. sometimes i'll go to my inspiration tag too, because there are so many amazing creators out there!!
when i have a general idea i will usually (not always tho) plan the whole set before i start: amount of gifs, the scenes i'm gonna use, the main effects if any. i'll often even draw it on paper if it's a layout haha, i'm a very visual person and this helps me lots when i'm trying to tie a certain look or feel together for a set.
as for typography honestly i usually type out one word and find a font that fits the vibe and my mood (i have so many dfskjbdfs), and then i build from there. it's a lot of trial and error to make typography pairings but i love it hehe
you are way too sweet please 🥺🥰🥺 thank youuu and have a good day!!
