Workshop Week - Motion Graphic Fairytale - Animation Sequence project RESEARCH

Before we started to actually make our section of the motion graphic fairytale, we had to research various artists and design styles to base our section of the whole fairytale sequence on. I myself looked at the flat 2D styles of motion graphics and looked at the different tones of the colour palettes used. In some of the artists works, the colour palette was bright to connote liveliness in the picture, however in other pieces of work, the colour tones were quite washed out to connote simplification or negativity. In the end I decided to limit my colour palette to 3 simple colours which were black, white and grey. This was to connote the binary opposition in the scene, as my section of the whole sequence was about the battle between the hero and villain. The colours white and black themselves are binary opposites and each connote good and bad. I also used these specific colours because they made the scene easy to look at and were simple due to the separation of white and black, with grey being the neutral colour here in the background. Below are screenshots of the pieces of work I researched.
