Utopian.io GIF Contest: Rewarding Contributions 
# Hi everyone
I want to present another gif to the contest.
If you're seeing this, and you have no idea what I'm talking about, I suggest you take a look at this **[link](https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@utopian-io/utopian-is-having-a-gif-contest-and-you-re-encouraged-to-participate)** I think you don´t want to miss this.
Utopian.io is running this GIF contest thanks to an amazing idea of @stellabelle.
If you want to participate, but you don´t know how to create a gif, take a look at this [link ](https://steemit.com/gif/@stellabelle/tutorial-how-to-make-your-own-gifs-for-free) or  [link](https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@aleister/utopian-io-gif-contest-open-source-economy)

In this work I have tried to remain faithful to the tonalities of the official logo.
The idea is to use keywords such as "Rewarding Contributions" and " Open Source Economy" and make a quick approach to Github and all available categories.

I must confess that it was not easy to get this final result, because in order to extract the gif from the project, I had to make several changes and in each one of them I had to remove some animations, because my machine is so old that it just can´t handle certain things, and this turns out to be a bit frustrating,  "lol"   but I think I got a result that somehow allows to pass the idea that I intended.

Before the Gif, I share here a small banner that resulted from the project

And now a brief explanation of how I did this:
For this project i used photoshop

Getting Started:
Create a new project - Top menu | File | new 
First layer starting by fill with Utopia official colors through Gradient overlay, adding some dots and hexagons | darkening everything.
Create new layers with two rectangles, changing perspective: Top menu | Edit | Transform | Perspective
 
<center>![01.png](https://res.cloudinary.com/hpiynhbhq/image/upload/v1511746334/dzclnn7ir9tynui1vuzf.png)</center>

Then, create 2 elipses, coloring with Gradient overlay, add a custom utopian logo in background with 4% opacity, some more random dots

<center>![02.png](https://res.cloudinary.com/hpiynhbhq/image/upload/v1511747026/suwhmd7azcj1it8hmn9y.png)</center>

Adding logo with brush, Keywordsand a transparent band with the github logo trimmed.
Create all words for the various categories and position.
Add arrows in the main keywords.
Animate with Timeline, layer after layer: Top menu | Window | Timeline
