For the digital aspect of the Collide brief I was initially unsure of what to produce as being a graphic designer, my focus is mainly on print design and I am still learning in terms of animation and motion graphics.
Looking at 'The New Aesthetic' made informed my design outcome and I wanted to try something I hadn't done before in terms of the animating. The overall outcome is quite simplistic, but that is the look I wanted to create, and to reflect the retro 8-bit form.
Here is my final outcome:
Collide Digital from Libby Howker on Vimeo.
If there was something I would change it would perhaps be the speed at which the footage plays at, also the repetitiveness of the animation maybe could have a negative impact when viewing but overall I feel this digital outcome would 'evoke happiness' as the brief asked, with the colourful graphics and artwork.
