This is a personal project that I designed, the gifs represents my design journey. The steps I go through in order, for a finished piece. My working hours and leisure time usually revolves in front of my mac, i am constantly thinking about what i can design next. Whether it is fun or stressful, this is what i go through and many other designers.
We were given a brief in our second year induction day, we had a choice to participate because it was not mandatory and it was created to keep us stimulated during our holiday. The brief is about designing a flip book showing our personal design journey. The brief allowed us to approach this anyway we could so it did not have to be an actual physical flip book, it could be a gifs or a quick animation clip.
In the beginning i was experimenting mainly with making a physical paper flip book because I was interested to try it out the traditional way. I found it difficult cutting up the papers in line with each other and even trying to stabilise the book together because at the time i only had glue and Sellotape but not staples, so it was very solid when I tried flip the papers. You could say I was going through hard times as a student because i could not afford even buying staples. After my third try I finally managed to complete a flip book and sketch out a front page but examining it I was not happy with it because to me personally it looked like it was made in primary school.
Furthermore I am a graphic design student in University, this is not acceptable for me as i wanted to learn everything to do with this profession. So i decided to experiment with my work with Adobe. I used Illustrator to design my objects and the reason why i designed it this way is because my design journey usually takes place in front of a mac with a coffee as endorsements and motivational quotes. Then I took it further into effect with the timeline on photoshop to make a gif as I am still trying to make a flip book. I really enjoyed making creative the mouse to move with the slider.
