Design report
Along with the finished animation and poster, a design report was produced in line with my design process to document my research, findings and outcomes.
Outcome
Video & photo gallery
Overall, I found this project an exciting learning experience. Prior to this module, I had never considered information design as something I'd enjoy but that has changed drastically since the project commenced. We worked effectively as a group, allocating roles in our team and utilising a structure for meetings and shared designing which made the design process a lot smoother. Another new personal was designing with After Effects, which I found a challenge at first. I'm fairly new to motion design and it's an area I need practice in, but I found this project rewarding and a great introduction to animation.
