Today we’re pleased to introduce the newest member of the Tuts+ family: GIFtuts+. We’ll be publishing tutorials and video training on creating gorgeous animated GIFs in Photoshop, Ulead GIF Animator and Microangelo. If you’ve ever wanted to freely learn how to create ornamental animated GIFs and impressive navigational graphics for Web Pages, now is the time to start! Hit the jump to learn all about GIFtuts+ and check out the newest site in the Tuts+ Network family.
We care about GIFs
Creating GIFs is a topic that we often get asked about. Whenever we’ve published a tutorial on creating GIFs on Psdtuts+, like our Animated Snowman Tutorial, it’s been very popular. We thought it was about time we gave this in-demand but under-served aspect of design education its own dedicated Tuts+ site!
Here’s a sneak peek of what the site will have to offer in the coming weeks:
- How to Create Hellish Animated Flaming Skulls
- How to Make a Slick ‘Under Construction’ Sign
- Make a Blood-spattering Stick-figure Animation
We want to take a moment to thank our team of developers and designers for all their hard work on the new site: Derek, Fred and Ryan, thanks guys!
Enough talk… it’s time to get moving and visit GIFtuts+!
And… our newest Envato marketplace
- Tying in with the launch of our newest Tuts+ site we’re also debuting a new Envato marketplace to a select group of Beta testers. If you’re interested in making passive income from your GIFs – meaning you make a GIF once, then sell it many times – we have an exciting announcement for you.
GifHole is looking for talented animated/static GIF artists to help set the standard for a new online GIF marketplace. Envato (the makers of Tuts+) are developing this site for all those who are looking for quality GIF stock and those who want to become authors in this field and earn money by selling their work online, again and again.
GifHole will complement the existing Envato marketplaces: ActiveDen, AudioJungle, ThemeForest, VideoHive and GraphicRiver.

Too early! But congrats on taking me back a number of years! Sadly some will still see this as a welcome step forward for the Envato brand.
Give us some video tuts on how to make the dancing spiderman!
I really must say, this has some of the BEST graphics I have seen from Envato. I mean, the loud yellows. The repetitive blinking, the pointless cowboy. The insistent need to put in loops EVERYWHERE! The poorly diffused rainbows. And, most of all, you brought out the one font all designers MUST HAVE in their toolbox (but sadly never do….. :’( ): COMIC SANS!
I tip my have off to you guys. Well done! KEEP 1998 GOING! (BTW, can you post a story about how to make a Geocities style webpage?)
Yeah, this must be an April Fools Joke… no way Envato would go with something this cheesy.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOL!
That was a HIT .. :D
April Fools! .. Tuts+ You Rocks :D
Haha! You should have taken it one step further and actually created the GIFHole Market place (even just static pages). That would have been awesome!
Finally, some real tuts! Awesome!

Choosy designers choose GIF’s. You fooled me for 20 seconds longer than I care to admit. Thanks for making me laugh! Carry on.
