GIFS
When I had some mock up album covers done, I started playing around with turning them into GIFs. With illustration constantly moving with the times, and with editorial illustration now including things like GIFs for online articles ect, I thought it would be beneficial to explore moving artwork as a form of distrobution. I believe looking into how illustration could be applied in the future is just as important as tailoring and applying my work to existing formats.
Process
Using the digital lines created in photoshop I began making subtle edits to transform the work into GIFs. I didn't want the movements to be massive or overshadowing the characters, but to add to what they were already conveying. Subtlety was key here.
Application
I could propose that these 'moving albums' would be adopted by music players such as iTunes, Soundcloud and Spotify, allowing for a looped GIF in place of where the album artwork would originally be. As well as this, the GIFs could be used as advertisements for things such as electric billboards or screens as often used in London Undergrounds ect to provide a more immersive and engaging advertisement.
