Invest cover
Invest magazine is a digital magazine available through the apple store, I was assigned the task of creating the cover artwork and animation of issue 12. Also, provide technical guidance to the studio in designing another feature cover design.
The challenge was to create a futuristic yet realistic cover design that reflects the cover feature "The Future of transport" and be able to animate its elements. Keeping in mind that the full animation is based on still images, with zero use of videos.
The scene buildings were stacked into 3 layers to give the feeling of perspective and distance when it’s animated. Those images were masked, collaged, and colour graded. A generic sky image is then used for the background.
The process was done in a few main stages:
● Understand the creative brief and create the cover artwork
● Prepare an achievable storyboard with the available materials
● Prepare still and animated cover artwork
● Prepare still and animated artwork for the rest of featured articles
● Select and edit suitable music and sound effects
● Create the animation, and produce the video in four languages
