ABOUT ME ↘
Hi, I’m Emma. I’m an aspiring motion designer, creator, and student. I’ve been creating for as long as I can remember, and over the past few years my appreciation for it has only grown. I started editing as a hobby and it slowly turned into a strong interest in motion design, graphic design, typography, and animation. I also enjoy creating in other ways, whether that’s drawing, painting, or working with clay. I’m always eager to learn new things, explore different mediums, and try new techniques and love seeing the work of other talented artists. I want to keep developing as a designer, not only by improving my skills but also by growing my ideas and growing my network with more like-minded individuals. I’m still learning whenever I get the chance, and I hope to continue doing so. My portfolio is a mix of personal projects, work, and school assignments, and I hope that my enthusiasm and curiosity for creating is visible in my work.

PROJECT ↘
For this school assignment, I got briefed to create a Halloween information campaign, which included an infographic and explainer video. After some research into the history and current traditions of Halloween, and fitting design trends that fit the target audience, I created a color palette, font, illustrations and animations for my campaign. You can see some of that process below.

PROJECT ↘
To develop my skills and techniques with clay, I wanted to experiment by sculpting a figure. Due to the fact that it was christmas, I made santaclaus. I started it off with a rough sketch to get the basic shapes down, though the hair didn’t turn out like the sketch cause I struggled to do so, I opted for an easier method by keeping it simple.

PROJECT ↘
Since I mostly work with digital tools, I’ve been meaning to learn how to work with clay. So I decided to model this angler fish based off of a reference just to familiarize myself with clay, once finished I also decided to experiment by using acrylic paint to color it, since I have little experience painting.

ASSIGNMENT ↘
Our school partnered up with Sound&Vision to create artworks for the “Mediaplein Mobiel” exhibit. It is a diorama-like structure in which our artworks were displayed. Our theme was tied to media and the future. I decided to create a patrol robot from the future based on my character “rawr”. In order to transform rawr I took inspirations from fictional cyberpunk technology.

We got briefed to create a new brand identity for Media Studies Hilversum. This was quite an exciting assignment since I had a lot of freedom and saw room for improvement. I did some research into the values of our school and the people they want to attract. I went with simple geometric shapes to symbolise creativity in the logos and presented the idea of having sublogos for the seperate directions ROCVA offers.

Our art and design class consisted of one big project. This end goal of said project was to create one piece of art, by following our own plan based off the techniques and materials we wanted to use. I decided to draw a portrait to improve my lightwork and to play with textures. The reason for this was because I mainly do lineart, so I’ve been meaning to get into color theory and values. Due to a lack of time I actually didn’t manage to add color but I did get a better understanding of values and light using only black and white.

I was briefed to create a new logo animation for envipco. A recycle vending machine technology company. We wanted to include arrows into the logo to symbolise recycling, after trying several animations we settled on the logo displayed on the right. The sound effects were later added by a different editor.

PROJECT ↘
During my motion design internship at YUNE, me and the other interns from design, editing and copy were briefed to create a new recruitment post for new interns. My main role in the project was to create the design and motion for the final video. However, I was also included in the other steps of the process, the research stage, production and post-production. I helped with setting up the sets, finding actors, cutting the edit, designing a style and the outline of the script. Our main goal was to compare boring internships with YUNE so we wanted to emphasize contrast in our video. We did this by contradicting things such as the color palettes, clothes, the emotions, colleagues etc. To make the story flow better, we decided to gamify the story, which worked well with the pixel style we originally chose. I had a lot of fun designing the pixel-art for this project.

PROJECT ↘
For this project, we were divided in teams of 3–4 people. Each team had to pick a song and create an animation to the song. Eventually there would be a battle between different video clips and an award ceremony. We beat our competitor and ended up winning the Public vote and the Best Video Titles! I did it together with Mijs Coolegem and Naïma van Deursen. I cut out some of my favorite parts I animated.

The goal of this assignment was to design and animate a character to the song I picked and make the character fit the song in question. I designed the character to be a bit funky and colorful, to fit the vibe of the song. I took inspiration from Emanuele Colombo’s designs.

ASSIGNMENT ↘
For this assignment we had to create an animation using the following principles of animation; squash/stretch, anticipation and follow through. I tried to experiment more with layer styles and colors, so for the design, I took inspiration from Emanuele Colombo. I also took some time to experiment with sound design, since I rarely get to do that. While adding the sound effects, my friends named him Bob. Say hi to Bob!

For this project the main goal was to create a lyric video for a song of choice using mainly typography. We had a lot of creative freedom so I experimented a bit with grains and a pixel style and found a few fitting fonts to try out something new. Reminder that you can toggle the sound and note that there is a pause in the middle of the video before it continues!

My part of my collaboration with @blazation on Instagram. We worked together on the intro and had our separate parts after, originally she created the Game Boy design, which I later added on to by adding animations and pixel art, like the stickers on the Game boy. For my individual part, I wanted to keep some digital and pixel elements, to match with the intro.
