Photography in Motion : The Creativity of Cinemagraphs Sep 12 2011 Animated gifs, while being considered the bane of certain one-time popular social networking sites, have long been criticized by the design community. Seen as mere throwbacks to a less mature stage in the life of the internet, and therefore written off by many in the field.
