About the Project

Le Puzz is a new jigsaw puzzle company inspired by vintage puzzles from decades past! Le Puzz creates quality, hand-drawn, random-cut jigsaw puzzles of 500 and 1000 pieces. They especially love collecting vintage puzzles from the 60s, 70s, and 80s, with an odd sense of humor. Le Puzz was created by Alistar Matthews and Michael Hunter.

โ€œWe love old puzzle box illustrations, silly copy, weird jigsaw shapes, and of course interesting images. There really isnโ€™t anything like that feeling of finishing a puzzle and running your hand over it, then trying to pick it up off the table in one piece.โ€” Le Puzz

I have been in love with Le Puzz ever since they launched their brand in 2020! I love everything from Scotty (their logo named after Alistarโ€™s cat) to their beautiful and bold puzzle boxes. You can learn more about their brand in one of my blog posts, Deep Dive into Le Puzz Jigsaw Puzzles.

Le Puzz got in touch with me to help them create some animated gifs to be used on Instagram. They saw my branded puzzle gifs and felt the need to have their very own Le Puzz gifs! I have been very active on Instagram with them by reviewing various puzzles and interacting with all things Le Puzz. Here are some of my featured images from Instagram.


Animated Stickers & Gifs

Alistar, Micheal, and I collaborated together to create some amazing animated stickers and gifs for Le Puzz! They wanted the ability to share cool gifs within their Instagram posts, stories, and reels, and for their customers and Instagram followers to share Le Puzz gifs too. 

We created 70+ gifs in total with more to come with their upcoming puzzle releases. There are a variety of gifs from dancing puzzle boxes, elements of the puzzles, animated logos and wordmarks, puzzle pieces, gifs featuring their merch, and many gifs inspired by their sticker pack! I had such a fun time creating all of these gifs for Le Puzz. I used a mix of Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and After Effects to create all the gifs.

Since we created SO many gifs, we added a few different search terms to find the variety of the gifs. You can see this live in action in my Instagram reel!

  • lepuzz (random assortment of gifs)

  • lepuzzbox (puzzle boxes)

  • lepuzzsticky (logos, stickers, puzzle pieces)

  • lepuzzthing (elements of puzzles)

After launching the Le Puzz gifs, their gifs have had over 8 million views! I canโ€™t wait for the opportunity to create more animated gifs for Le Puzz in the coming months. Check out all the amazing gifs over on Le Puzzโ€™s giphy channel!


Instagram Puzzle Photos

You can follow my puzzle account at @krystalcotrissโ€”I post puzzle reels & tips, puzzle brand reviews, updates on my collection, and just creative puzzle photos overall. I feature a wide variety of puzzle brands and new & vintage puzzles. One of my favorite things to do is go thrifting and find vintage puzzles at an affordable price. And yes, I also have several saved searches for puzzles on eBay!

โ€œKrystal really WOWโ€™d us with tons of gifs for Le Puzz. We are so impressed and obsessed! Krystal was even kind enough in helping us get our Giphy account set up and brand approved. We are truly thrilled with how well everything turned out. All of the stickers & gifs are just PERFECTION. Weโ€™ve already passed Krystalโ€™s name to several friends with brands! Canโ€™t wait to work with Krystal with more gifs in the future.โ€
