Forest Gump My family
"Mama says that life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what your going to get until you bite into one."
Forest Gump

Here is a photo of my family. Matthew, my wife Liz and me. I don't know why they had name tags on, I am fairly sure I know their names.

The description of the GIF images on this page

The banner at the top of the page was created in Photoshop as a GIF. I used a only custom shapes and text with some effects to create the banner. It has 8 colors, with Lossy compression of 9. The total file size is about 9.3 Kbytes. There is no need for matte, since this GIF is not a transparent image.

The background image is a repeating transparent GIF. It was created with the rectangle tool, ellipse tool, and the polygon tool. When optimizing, I had to use the matte setting matching the background in order to give a smooth transition for the drop shadow. I used the off-set (set to +50 horizontal and +50 vertical) to give it symmetry. It is a 100x100 pixel GIF. It only has 8 colors with Lossy compression of 9. This gave a file total file size of 598 bytes.
