Animated Patterns
Ocean
Mountain
Overview
This project challenged me to design two looping animated patterns that explore the theme of "opposites." The goal is to investigate contrast through visual and motion-based elements—such as light vs. dark, fast vs. slow, sharp vs. soft, etc.—while using strong design principles and smooth animation.
Approach
1) The two "opposites" explored are land/mountain and sea/ocean
2) Points of contrast:
- Roundness of graphics used for sea/ocean vs. the harsh lines used for land/mountain
- Contrasting colors
- Animating in opposing directions
3) Maintaining harmony:
- Same pacing for both animations
- Same grid layout for both patterns
