Self symbol GIF reflection
1) My self symbol concept is trying to capture one of my biggest fears which is the ocean. I arrived to this idea for my concept when making thumbnail sketches, I drew things I liked and things that represent me. Yet, none of these ideas were creative enough but then I came to the Idea of drawing things that I am scared of. I had multiple different ideas but I thought that animated the ocean was an interesting concept. I purposely did not make the GIF scary, I used a dolphin instead of a shark. I did this because the concept is hidden, yet I know the significance of what the ocean means to me and how this GIF has a deeper meaning.
2) My animated GIF has evolved from its original thumbnail sketch/post-it note idea is by adding a lot more color to my idea. Adding color changed my concept a lot, I had only pictured it in black and white but once I had to create the ocean my idea had changed a lot. Other than the color aspect of this GIF the actual animation is not what I fully expected and creating the dolphin was harder than I expected it to be.
