PROJECT 2
DECISIVE MOMENT 

Fig 1: Assignment Brief [20/05/2021]

IDEATION

We were assigned a task of creating a minimalistic poster. We also need to animate the poster and make it into a gif.

Fig 2: Ideation [20/05/2021]

I have chosen to illustrate a poster from a Netflix Series called as 'The Queen's Gambit'.

• The scene where she ate the pill at night and the there's a chess board on the ceiling.
• The entire series of her life.

Fig 2.1: Ideation [20/05/2021]

Most of the audience who watch this show knows about this scene, it happens during the first episode of the series gave us a glimpse into Beth Harmon's unique mind, when a young Beth lay awake in bed and saw a whirl of chess moves on the ceiling. Under Beth's mental control, massive bishops and rooks moved across the board.

SKETCH

CREATING GIF

Fig 5: Animation Process in Adobe Illustrator [25/05/2021]

There were few options to create the movement but I have chosen to create the animation in photoshop. My first step is to create the frames in the Adobe Illustrator. It was a tedious work that consume a lot of time and skills to make sure the editing is not to quick and smooth. It takes me 20 frames for the movements.

The next step is to animate all the frames in the Adobe Photoshop. This process was much more easier after creating the frames. I want to make it looping so after putting all the frames in, I reverse it back.

I increase the saturation to make it more colorize.

FEEDBACK 

Mr Kannan proposes that me to make it more luxurious by adding shadows and vignettes. He also showed more ideas on my poster.

REFLECTION

Through this week, I have manage to create a moving poster although it was challenging to actually draw it out digitally. It's a pleasant experience for me to do with Adobe Photoshop. I was delighted with my final outcome of poster animation, thanks to Mr. Kannan's recommendation.  Cannot wait for the next project, and I hope that there's a good piece of work I did.
