Week 1 - Web Animation

For the first time we are going to be doing two projects in parallel, with two separate practical outputs later being formed into the same product. We are now focusing on two web projects, Web Authoring (making a full website portfolio for ourselves) in another lesson, whereas our mtoion graphics time will be used to create a web animation for that website.

i don't yet know what form my animation will take, as we have to design 3 and create one (similarly to the Ident project). To get me started though i have looked at some of the creative development and the visual style of my website (which is further into production). I plan to make the web animation very much in the style of my existing web work, so the visual inspirations and developments will be similar.

More than images, I want to focous on typography and interesting presentation of typefaces and solid imagery (as opposed to overly detailed graphics). With this in mind I made up an initial moodboard for my website which featured some of my intiial ideas and a range of typefaces I could possibly use.

I got a range of typefaces from this, such as the big bold American Purpose  and the more professional Typogrifico.
