    images Sports Consultation Gifs.
    I recently worked on a series of animated gifs, with the good folk at M-Four, to help promote Manchester City Council’s Sport and physical activity survey. The idea was to depict 'normal' people playing a sport, like this bicep crunching hipster. I created the animation, whilst the art direction and character design was done by M-Four’s very talented Craig Green. #image #animation #motiongraphics #characterdesign #illustration #motiondesign #gifs #sport #sports #basketball #selfie #moonwalk #adobeillustrator #adobeaftereffects
