Thinking Differently with Pop Art
Here’s my take on a classic image through the lens of Pop Art:
Pop Art gif created in Keynote with transitions
After deciding on an image and pose, I wanted to include some type of green screen effect. While this could have been done with 2 video clips and iMovie, I chose instead to use Keynote and transition effects. The process (with screenshots) is detailed below.
Start with a blank presentation. Tap the presentation name to edit the slide size and choose square. This makes it easier to not only resize images that are added, but keep image consistency when they are added to the slide.
Editing the slide layout
Adding the images to the Keynote slide deck
Both photos, the original pose and the Pop Art image added to the slide, with Pop Art in front
Using the Format menu to turn the Opacity of the Pop Art image down to 20 % to allow the two images to be aligned perfectly
Now that the images are aligned perfectly, duplicate the slide twice so that you are left with 3 total slides in your presentation. Tapping on the slide allows you to manipulate an entire slide, including duplicating it. On slide number 1, delete the Pop Art image (you may need to use the Format menu to bring the desire image to the front to delete, as they are perfectly on top of one another). On slide 2, delete the original, and on slide 3 delete the Pop Art image again.
The process of duplicating a slide to save some alignment / time
As the slides are duplicated, delete the necessary image to create the desired effect
Now that the 3 slides have been created, utilize Transitions to create a movement effect. Apply the same transition to both slide 1 and slide 2. For this example, I chose the Droplet transition, then went back and made the transition’ last for a duration of 5 seconds.
Tap on the slide, then choose transition to access the menu
Adding the Droplet transition to slides
Edit the transition so the effect takes 5 seconds to complete
With the transitions set, the project is ready to be exported as either a Movie (if you only want it to play through once) or Animated GIF to create a looping effect. Tap the presentation name to access the exporting options. This example was made exporting as a GIF. Make sure that the entire slide range is chosen during the export.
Tap the presentation name / title to access exporting options
Choose your desired size and ensure that all slides are included in the export
Tape the Presentation name, then Export, then choose the desired option
Now the GIF (or movie) is ready to be saved and shared! Tap the blue share button and then save the finished project to the Photos app.
Choose Save Image to save the final product to the Photos app
Have fun creating videos with effects and Pop Art! I would love to see what you create! #WCID #EveryoneCanCreate

With iPad and Keynote, it is very easy to create your own personalized GIF. My creative project features this image of a latte from Caffe Macs.

Thanks Nicolas for showing how you add Keynote slides to create Pop Art! I took inspiration from your pose and “popped” an old photo of mine in line with your “Think Differently” title. This is mostly done in Photos but with a little trip into Keynote.
The photo is from my journalism advisor days when my students named their Macs depending on what section of the high school newspaper they were writing for. To make this a gif, I could build an animation into the “hello”
