You might not know this, but Graphic Interchange Format (best known as GIFs) have actually been around since 1987. And now, a new Kickstarter project is set to bring all your favourite GIFs to life by printing it out on cool little trading cards.



The Gifpop! campaign was cooked up by programmer-designers Sha Hwang and Rachel Binx. The idea is to print out these animated GIFs onto lenticular-printed cards.

A lenticular image appears to move as the viewer moves, causing the animation to loop within a short number of frames. These pitted, prismatic plastic pictures an often found on postcards or packaging. The end result should look something like this:




Now that the campaign has well surpassed its funding target, you'll soon be seeing all your favorite GIFs printed on a little card that fits right in the palm of your hand.
