Positive Design Manifesto
We were asked to write a manifesto inspired by samples provided to us by Aaron. I wrote mine about maintaining positivity and a good attitude while designing, even if you're frustrated. We then decided on a visual direction. I chose a direction inspired by typographic motivational videos, using kinetic type and interesting visual effects to reinforce the messaging. Over several weeks, we finalized the designs from storyboards to animatics to a full animation.
Learning Outcomes:
Because we learned technical aspects through demos and earlier assignments, I mostly learned process and soft skills. I learned how to finesse details so that each frame looks good. I learned how to think about the camera and how to compose different scenes so they transition but still feel related.
