Description
Being a graphic designer is a continuous learning process, so my philosophy is to stay up to date with the newest trends in our ever-changing world. Motion design is a niche interest of mine, so naturally I decided to further explore this aspect of design.
Character Design Exploration
My final project, ‘Shapes’ was created at the end of the Motion Tricks course by @motiondesignschool. Thanks to Emanuele Colombo, who guided me step-by-step throughout this project, I have begun experimenting with various innovative and non-traditional techniques for creating animated and colourful characters. However, I didn’t want to stop there. Having designed a blend of basic two-dimensional shapes, with the use of gradients and overlays, coming together to form animated and personified three-dimensional shapes, I pushed boundaries in design and expanded my technical skillset.
Showreel
This project showcases my expertise in creating compelling and visually engaging characters, tailored for animation, games, and storytelling. From initial concept sketches to fully rendered designs, I focused on capturing unique personalities, emotions, and narratives through visual elements.
