morphing - This was my first effort at creating a GIF, quite a few years back. Since fast and repetitive graphics animations can really be very irritating and distracting, I made it so it would only 'transform' once upon opening the file or upon loading the site where it is embedded. I used a freeware to do the morph (I forget which software it was), and Adobe Photoshop to clean up and set up the timing. Haven't done anything like it for quite a while now. Very tedious work.
