For this motion graphics studio, the group was asked to design and create a character in adobe illustrator, which would then be placed into adobe after effects to be animated. In order to make the particular parts of the character to move, I needed to create each part of the character on separate layers so that when imported it transferred the layer information into after effect, so that the character would animate correctly. I wanted to create a minimal design for a character, so that I could focus on transferring an expression in correlation to motion. What inspired this design was the concept of Disney's Inside Out characters, using colour and focusing on a select emotion. In this case my character was to display bordem through the use if a blank expression and rather frustrated eyebrow and mouth placement. I think that this resembled the concept of boredem.
Once the static character had been created, I needed to understand how motion could better express this, so I decided to have the character dancing slowly while moving his eyes, this expressed the my character was uninterested in taking part of the dance. Overall I am very happy with the outcome of my character.
