I am not an artist - an animated gif paranoia about nonstop design workers




This is collaborative project trying to visually show the frustration of the creative process. It is quite similar to a lot of the gifs I made in Ugly Duckling when I was trying to show tension. I like how these gifs loop continuously as I think it contributes to portraying the frustration in the creative process, trying again and again but sometimes ideas just don't work out. I particularly like all the lines falling off the page as I think this demonstrates perfectly how intimidating a blank page can be, often you can have a great idea but when it comes to writing it down you lose it or it just isn't as good on paper. I think this idea could be developed with the lines running off the bottom of the page and away. The gif of the pencil snapping is fun because they add extra shards shooting off like in a comic book. I wonder how they did this as each shard has a shadow so they are not lain out on the table. Did they use string to levitate them or was it computer animated?
