## Guidelines 

List of guidelines to create these gifs in a uniform fashion, all gifs then need:

* to be as language agnostic as possible (this may be difficult but we can be creative)

* to be the standard size of 200x200px 

* to have a timer in the bottom right corner to help user understand when gif has ended (more research needed)

* to have the same color background (dark blue, see examples above)

## TODO

* Find out how users can put a timer in the bottom right corner of a gif

* Logic that implements popping up a gif as a tooltip

* Logic to turn animated gif tooltips on/off

## References
