Genesis Animated Logos
Garden of Eden was more straightforward in conceptualisation, with reference to the Book of Genesis. I designed the garden I always imagined as a child whenever I heard the story of Adam and Eve.
Cosmos was a bit more abstract in trying to convey the idea of 'beyond'. It was also a lot more fun as I went for a style that was more painterly-looking. I tried to mimic the texture of the canvas and animation of paint strokes, in which I cel animated a few strokes of about 6 to 10 frames each.
Hachiko 2.0
This was a fun piece as it was one of those crazy and random ideas that suddenly popped into my head when asked to design a Chinese New Year sticker for social media posts.
My design features a 'buddha-looking' dog (2018 being the lunar new year of the dog), with mounds of fat and one paw holding a wad of cash. Since my design was pretty comedic in nature, I decided to use a chinese phrase that matched the level of humor. "紅包拿來" can be translated to "give me money", which is often jokingly said amongst youngsters.
Motion Corpse
Some colleagues and I decided to do a motion corpse in which we split one long form social post into three parts, with me getting the back of the beast.
I imagined a scenario in which the tails had personalities of their own and were always fighting with each other (similar to Pain and Panic in Hercules).
