Animations I made using a variety of different mediums such as Stop Motion, After Effects, Cinema 4D, and Procreate!

Numerous graphic design work I've done throughout the years. From style frames, to typography, to brand design.

Photos from my travels around the world!

Hi! I’m Sophia. I am a Motion Design student at Ringling College of Art and Design. I grew up in Ohio but currently live in Florida. I enjoy making art that is plain in its imaging, but if you look closer there is usually a hidden meaning. I usually enjoy making my art in 3D with Cinema 4D, but I also enjoy using the adobe suite to create fun design and animations.When not doing art I enjoy playing with my dog and taking him for walks. I'm also an avid fan of reading novels, particularly ones filled with action. In addition to digital art, I enjoy traveling and photography, usually taking pictures of live animals.

The Laughing Heart

The Laughing Heart was a project that challenged matching visuals to a story. For my design I was highly focused on the part of the narrative that mentioned how people can find their way out no matter how little light there is. I wanted to tell a story that slowly went from darkness to light, and automation to humanity. A story of how a little bit of light can move from being just that to being a supernova that defeats the darkness.

Abstract Title Sequence

Sacred Algorithm - Codes of creation

Abstract Title Sequence was a project that challenged the use of real world objects and abstract them to make them unrecognizable. After that I had to use them to create a title sequence that revealed in the end what the project was.

The first part of this process was to gather the objects I was going to make abstract. In this case I chose an object that could look wet and unlike itself when it was zoomed into greatly - fruit!

After that it was the process of color grading it to get that technological look that I wanted to display in the title sequence.

THE FONT
For this project I decided to use the font DIN 2014. While it may seem like a classic font, the geometric and sleek look bring the type of sci-fi look I wanted in this piece. That placed with the type displacement filter adds more of a dystopian look to it.

Cattea Brand Design

This project was all about branding; creating, designing, and explaining why you made specific decisions. For my project I created a fictional business that catered to cat owners that have overly exited or anxious cats.

THE LOGO:
By far the most important part of a brand is the logo. I had a clear vision of the logo to be more simplistic to contrast the chaotic feel of the product and social media design.

While the original logo design is interesting and says enough about the design, it was pretty easy to simplify it for recognition. The recognizable "a" in the sentence Cattea was perfect for it, and can be seen on top of the can.

SOCIAL SQUARES:
This project turned out to be a very maximalist style. Bold patterns with large assets to draw the viewers eye. It gave more of a wacky feeling than more serious feeling. This can be seen with the social media squares that I had to make. Using a mix of collage with assets seen in the brand design; it really created a more chaotic feeling.

PRODUCT DESIGN:
The tins that Cattea is produced in is designed with fun patterns that symbolize what ingredients were used in the tea, and calming colors to demonstrate what the product is meant to do. From level 1-5 the boarder around the text gets more wavy as the level goes up to demonstrate what kind of cat it's meant for.

BROCHURE DESIGN:
For an extra part of this project I decided to design a brochure to tell the user how to, well, use this product. Filled with all the patterns seen before, this is a bold brochure that both draws the viewer in and is informative as well.

Nike Style Frames

This project was meant to create style frames with a specific brand in mind. In this case, the brand was Nike. I had to choose a shoe and make an ad that went through a story for the reveal of the whole shoe. I wanted to show how using the shoe brought color into the users life and so I went with a bright colors and a more monochrome background.

Motion design mixer

The Motion Design Mixer project was a minute long video that was projected onto the wall of the venue. The theme for the mixer was Vegas Night, so with that theme I came up with idea of creating a projection inspired by the Beauty and The Beat "Be Our Guest" dancing object sequence.

MOVING POSTERS

The Moving Posters project was to create a poster based on an assigned artist. For this project I got Gabriel Dawe and researched a multitude of his projects before landing on his most popular ones, his Plexus exhibitions.

SARASOTA FRESH FRIDAY

For this project the brief was to design a one minute video promoting art in Sarasota Florida. For this project I chose to do a less promoted aspect, music. To go along with the Alan Grant band who was playing at the festival, I designed an exiting video featuring different instruments.

Designed and textured in Cinema 4D and Photoshop, I wanted to promote both the festival and sarasota as a whole. By using the instruments I incorporated parts of sarasota into their design. The guitar symbolized the ocean with waves, the bass shoed the beautiful sunsets that Florida has, and the drums the thunderstorms that frequent the city.

Some of the hardest parts of this project was one; slowing down the video to make it so it doesn't go too fast and cause whiplash for the viewer. Two; creating the correct size frame to fit on the sails of the building. Through a lot of trial and error I was able to fine a good amount of time along with designing a good frame to not break the Trompe L'oeil effect I were going for.
