Privileged ICE contacts and medical information available on lockscreen [WORK IN PROGRESS]

Rondarius

I tried to make a gif with these two images, with a pulsating effect like a heartbeat, it didn't turn out the way I wanted but I hope that you get the picture
The ICE icon is the base icon and the TOUCH ME! icon flikers in a pase simular to a heartbeat.

Gimp handles (open/create) GIFs very well, did you try with it?

Rondarius

@Keneda Yes I did and when I created a gif with 20 layers, the exported file was over 17 MB. The forum allows 2 MB sized files. I optimized the layers for gif animation and after I exported the layers the file size was down to 400 kB. But the hearbeat effect was gone, the gif still changed icon but in a steady pase and not like a heartbeat. Then when I tried to upload it I discovered that the forum doesn't allow gifs

Moem

@Rondarius You could upload it to Imgur and post a link.

@C0n57an71n :
Thank you for your offer to get involved in this I.C.E. Project.

Happy to have you onboard!

As you may have seen already @Rondarius made his first .gif (see his latest comments). I had a chat with him yesterday and although his effort is appreciated and the message of the .gif is clear to what we want to achieve we concluded we could use professional input and skills for a good design for the lock screen in UT style. I suggested to @Rondarius to ping you and he agreed.

I don't know if you're into any sort of animated design. You could help by making a concept design for the lockscreen that is recognizable, subtle and distinctive. I'm well aware that your designs are abstract (reason why I like your designs), so I hope it could have both your design and appealing design for every user to enable the ICE app/feature and to convince the devs to have it included in a new lockscreen format (other than the Circle).

Based on the screenshot by Rondarius a design as wide as the notifications would be a nice start I think. It could be on top of that by default. Any other input is welcome.

Thank you!

@Rondarius
If 17MB file worked nice when "gifed", then the optimised 400KB one should to, they are some tips to know for optimisation.

But like said Moem, you could upload to imgur, over 4MB files will be made MP4 but anyway, like that you can share it with us ^^

@Rondarius
Thanks.
?? Imgur has no option to deny/limit cookies ??

Keneda

@Rondarius

WOW, this took 17MB in GIF?!?

Can you put me the original, not giffed (maybe XCF?), file on a share file website i must investigate this lol...

Rondarius

No I cut the original image in half, it's 3.8 MB.

Keneda

@Rondarius
Even 3.8MB sounds tremandous!

That kind of gif should be 100Ko max with no loss when optimised.

Keneda

65Ko ^^

I don't think so, like to many website it's "accept or leave"...

Rondarius

@Keneda Then I'm doing something wrong

Keneda

@Rondarius
If you want to see what it looks like untouched by imgur (imgur tends to modify images) : https://we.tl/t-f18OZtwHII

Rondarius

@Keneda Thanks it looks really good

Personally I think your beginning to drift from your first ideas a bit. If it's simple easy to understand at a quick glance wherever in the world you are or use it all the better. That should also help with where it ends up on the device as well, but as I said just my personal thoughts.

Keneda

@Rondarius
Hoping it will help you for your next GIF ^^

Rondarius

@Keneda Yes I think I get the point, I will try it out later, thanks again.

Rondarius

@Lakotaubp I don't know what is wrong or what is right in this topic, I just wanted to give another point of view when it comes to making the icon more noticable. If this is the wrong way to go then it's fine by me

I just feel that using the Star of Life as the image for the app would be wrong. The Star of Life itself has nothing with medical infomation about the owner, associated with it.

The image I used and tweeked was the official image from the person who came up with ICE from the beginning(lack of insperation).

And yes we got a little of topic here at the end, almost a how to in making gifs
