The program itself focused on nine different topics that all mid-lifers grapple with including purpose, connectivity, and experimentation. The team was tasked with creating an animation would introduce each.
The Experienced Leaders Initiative (ELI)
Module #03 Generativity
Module #02 Purpose
Module #07 Resilience
Module #01 Longevity
Module #08 Renewal
Module #05 Experimentation
Module #03 Connection
Module #06 Transition
Module #09 Forward
Stylistically, we explored the idea of simple shapes representing each of these topics. Each shape had to feel expressive and alive. I used a combination of After Effects and Callipeg for the 2D animation; and Adobe Illustrator for the designs.
Early Sketches
Each character was designed with a unique shape that embodies the main idea of each lecture.
