You might not know this, but Graphic Interchange Format (best known as GIFs) has actually been around since 1987. And now, a newest Kickstarter project is set to bring 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 these animated GIFs onto lenticular-printed cards, the same pitted, prismatic plastic pictures often found on postcards or packaging. A lenticular image appears to move as the viewer moves, its animation looping within a short number of frames. The end result should look something like this:




The campaign has already passed it's funding target, so who knows, you'll soon see all your favorite GIFs printed on a little card that fits right in the palm of your hand.
