LGBT - GIF

Parklife GIF
Parklife GIF 2

As the team requested a GIF to use as promotion on social media, I decided to look into the way in which other events use GIF promotion. A prime example of this was the recent part of branding done by Studio Morross. The gifs are simplistic and offer a slight bit of movement offer point of visual difference for an audience when scrolling through social media. This will benefit the event which I am banding due to the nature of the event is in the name, by adding a sense of movement it engages the audience on a higher level than a still picture, especially within a digital environment. As can be seen in these gifts minimal movement is used, yet the slight bit of movement brings the branding to life. Therefore, will be planning out and creating a gift which can be posted on the social media aspect of this brief.

Planning Notes

In order to be able to get a clear idea of what I'm going to get I decided by to make a plan for each of the frames that I would need to create. I'll be creating the gift in photoshop.

Creation:

In order to get the frame sitting on top of each other correctly I decided to create each frame in illustrator in a square format. This could then be placed directly into photoshop in the exact position that it would need to be in, ensuring the most accuracy with the movement of the gif itself.

Artboards
Trials:

Due to the visual identity already been set and need to coexist with the current branding, which was already designed, I decided that there was not much trying to do. Therefore, I tried a few different sequences in addition to different colours within my trials to be able to achieve the most effective gift possible to get the information across while also putting across quite a voice for the branding and the audience.
Trial 1

Trial 2

Trial one best represented the branding of the other elements that I'd already created, due to the fact that singles out in layers of the texts and the way in which it was created representing evenly each of the colours. It also continues on to display the name of the event the location and the date all of which crucial information.
Trial two contains block colours in the background for each of the lettering, I believe this made the gift to long and therefore not appropriate social media to people who will be swiping along quickly need to get the information a quick space of time. I also don't think that this is fitting for the rest of the content has been created for the briefing resemble some of the initial trials.

Therefore, the continuation will be designing gives a variance of trial one. The entire will focus on refining down the typography and the timing of the gif itself.
