Promotional Materials Day

We were set a few different tasks to complete as a group to a one day deadline.
The tasks were:
- To create a pop up card
- To create a Gif
- To do a re-branding task

After deciding as a group on what to base the first two tasks on we then designated certain roles to different people in the group to ensure we got all the work done in the day.
A few people worked on the pop up card, a few more on the rebranding; and I worked on the Gif with one other. We had never made a gif before so we were working outside of our comfort zone and learning as we worked.

We decided on the idea of penguins having a Christmas party. We anthropomorphised the penguins and put them in Christmassy outfits.


We then drew the penguins in a slightly different position and changed this three times. This would hopefully give the impression of them moving when the mages are put together in a sequence.

We then scanned the images onto Photoshop and added colour.

 
 
 

After doing this we put the three images into a sequence and repeated them numerous times to create the gif.


Here is the final outcome:


 
 
I'm quite happy with it as it was our first attempt. I think with a bit more practice with the method of making a gif I will have a better understanding of how they work and will hopefully create a more effective gif in the future.
