Design Rationale Animation Poem

Font Poem

-In this design, I really wanted to get out the true meaning of the poem in visuals. I wanted each word to stick out in its own unique way and for the animations to come together well with the collage.
-For each word, (or sometimes set of words) I gave them their own unique animation. The word believe was supposed to stick out the most and I made it slowly glow and begin to be on the page. The word 'dreams' on the other hand almost floats into its position, somewhat like an actual dream. Future comes from above, to represent how the future is ahead of you. Each animation corresponds with its the different words. The collage also has its own uniqueness. Each picture is of someone who is very inspirational and has once followed their dreams to do something important in life. (For example: Rosa Parks, Neil Armstrong, Walt Disney) and they are all multiplied so that they mesh with the background. If you look close enough the background is actually a watercolor work of a path, to represent following your path to fulfill your dreams.
-What I found most challenging in this project was figure out how to get the animations to be unique find out how to actually do them.
- To solve this problem I actually found an online tutorial on how to do animations in photoshop. It was helpful and I feel like my font poem will be very unique.
-I'm most proud of how the animations of each font came out in the end. At the beginning of the project I thought it would take forever and it wouldn't even be worth it but I kept at it and eventually made a piece I was proud of.
- If I had more time I definitely would have made a few changes in my collage. Figured out how to do different, unique things with each individuals picture rather than doing the same thing to all of them.
