This year the question "are you happy" has influenced a lot of my decisions. Oftentimes when looking at all of my responsibilities and the expectations others have for me and I have for myself, I blow them out of proportion, and I often have to take a step back and figure out a way to complete the things I have to do and also feel some sort of fulfillment. Sometimes that means going to bed instead of studying, sometimes that means staying up really late to finish a paper, sometimes it means choosing the college I never thought I would. The point is, the question is simple enough, but it still shapes my decision making. For this reason, I think for my final project, I want to create a poster with this phrase, and then as we discussed go animate it in After Effects. I really like simple graphics and bright color palettes, so I was thinking either I would make an outline of a woman's face with only one characteristic emphasized (maybe red lips or eyebrows) and then have it split up into the grid with a few squares inside her face missing with the words filling those squares in. For the animation, those squares could shuffle around at first before settling and displaying the message. The other idea I maybe had was taking a bit of the layout from the second picture, except yet again make the graphic much simpler. I would exclude a lot of the line work and typography and have her head similarly dissolve into chunks in the animation (in a different art style though) and some of the things that floated away could display the question, are you happy?
