Abstract Animation
Alli Kraus
The goal of this project was to abstractly convey the meaning and feeling of a word through a GIF animation. The three words illustrated were oppose, squeeze, and slouch. These compositions were first explored through hundreds of sketches, and then iterations. The focus of this project was on framing, composition, design principles, and abstracting.
