Accessible animated images xitter.cf/paciellogroup/status/1…
TPGi@TPGinteractive6 Jul 2018
This post from the BBC goes over how you can make animated images accessible—such as animated GIFs. bbc.co.uk/gel/guidelines/how… For instance, BBC Weather animates the frames below to illustrate a growing storm on a hurricane-tracking map over the course of five days in Texas. Handy!
Four frames from an illustrated hurricane-tracking map from BBC Weather that show an approaching storm at 17:00 UTC, 18:00 UTC, 18:00 UTC again, and 19:00 UTC
