Day 4 – Slice ’em up, buttercup

01.25.2017 by Hayley Rollason //

Here we go, Day 4 of the #15minmograph challenge. I have a feeling I am going to get less and less detailed in these posts about it.

Day 4 - Slice — Day 4 – Slice ’em up, buttercup

I am really trying to hit all the bases of motion design. Character – check. Vector – check. Today we check off typography. Check.

This is an animation move you see a lot in explainers and I am yet to have used it in any client work, which is weird because I really like the look. It is clean, simple and super illustrative, and now I know I can do it in 15 mins. What I also reinforced today is my love for Coolors.co. It is amazing. With a tap of the spacebar and you have an elegant or bright or complementary colour palette hex values and all. Need to build a palette around and already existing colour or colours, lock them in and <spacebar>. Now, it may sound like I am sponsored by them or something. I’m not, just a major fangirl.

Day 3 – Do you even lift, bro?

Ladies and Gentlemen, Day 3 has arrived. I’ll let you see the GIF first and then I’ll ask you what you think I did this morning.

Day3 - Lifting — Day 3 – Do you even lift, bro?

Well, can you guess? Core day at the gym.

I took today as an opportunity to play with Rubberhose. I’ve only really used it a couple times, generally opting for Duik instead. I do really love this Plugin though and how quickly this one was able to be put together (less than 15 mins) is a testament to the usability of this little gem.

I also whipped out OC eyes, another plugin that makes character animation just way too easy.

Day 2 – Lightbulb

01.23.2017 by Hayley Rollason //

I thought Day 1 was hard to find inspiration for this #15minmograph challenge. This time I had to go searching for assets before anything even came to mind. Then I had a lightbulb moment (see what I did there).

I knew I wanted to play with different ways of applying textures to a piece. I got my hands on a slate texture and a light bulb graphic from Pixabay, dumped a few keyframes on the vector assets and then started playing with the texture layer. Adding grades and effects to contrast and harshen it, and then playing with the blend modes on each layer before timer went and it was pencils down. Texture effects is a tool I commonly forget to play with in client work and I think this small task has probably brought it back to me as a go-to effect for giving vector animation a great organic feel.

Voila…
