EXPLORATION

(Literally trying out every single color on the rainbow)
To prepare for my pitch, I put together a bunch of quick, rough styleframes on figma to explore possibilities. This quick iteration process not only allow me to explore composition, also shows me what is CLEARLY not working...😓

TRUST THE PROCESS...👀

01. FIRST PASS

The build-up is too looooong!
The text animation was also way too fast
for viewers to fully absorb the information.
The trophy is not connecting to the background effect,
and contrast between the trophy and bg is lacking...

02. SECOND PASS

Now there is more uniqueness to the trophy
The general pacing got better, shorter build-up
with more time to read text.
But the typography is still little underwhelming,
and the transition is littleeee too harsh...

GENERIC LOOPING ANIMATION

Adding more to the package!
Utilizing the same watercolor effect but make
it loopy for a ambient background element!
