I then downloaded two image backgrounds from Morguefile which I placed in the background of my cards to act as a backdrop for the rest of my design.

Animation

  Artist  Statement  For this assignment I worked on creating my own animation using Adobe Photoshop. For the animation I decided to do it with the inspiration of my dog chasing a ball. To create it I found an image of a dog through a google search in two different positions that would look like it is running and sitting.

Overall, I found this assignment to be slightly challenging when creating the vision that I had in my mind, however I am happy with how it turned out.
