I had a lot of fun with this project! I also had so much fun animating my key logo so I figured it would be great to animate a search feature for my portfolio website!
Animated GIFs For my first GIF, I made a clock with a moving minutes hand through Photoshop's frame animation. I have taken two motion graphics classes in my undergrad, however, they were a few years ago so this was a great refresher for me! I think both the frame animation and video timeline features on Photoshop are a great way to create a quick, fun GIF. I have never played around with onion-skinning before, so this was super fun for me to create! I love to draw and paint so making this made me feel as though I was actually making my animation come to life! I'm excited to keep messing around with it! I was nonchalantly chewing gum while making my other two GIFs...which gave me the idea for this one! I drew the images in Adobe Illustrator and then used Photoshop's frame animation again to enlarge the bubble!
Kinetic Interface Design – Video · Navimation: Combining navigation with animation · Social Navimation : Combining navigation in social media with animation · Motional Transformation : Gradually changing the form of a visual element · Spatial Manipulation: Mixing 2D and 3D spaces, be it physical or virtual · Temporal Navigation : Navigation that is continuous, as opposed to ‘click and wait’ · Indexical Compositing: Movement on screen that is similar to the movement of something else · Virtual Kinetics: Simulating physical forces such as gravity or magnetism Chapter 9.

Storytelling The great challenge is more about disciplining yourself to reel it in and be intentional about your storytelling choices. The first step in storytelling is to create a story structure. Create 15-30 cue cards – the moments / active steps that move the story forward. Each card can be physical or emotional and should represent an active step or beat in the storyline. Next, a Three-Act Structure should be created by p lacing cue cards on the wall in chronological order in three separate rows (a story with three acts). A character has a problem The character works towards a solution The character solves the problem, usually in a surprising way A fourth row of “additional beats” can also be created that don’t fit in the structure or you are unsure of at the moment (may not even use them) T his works for infographics too such as PSA's. The first act (first row of beats) should introduce the character(s), establish what th...
