For this assignment I had a solid Idea of what I wanted to do from the start. Since my logo depicts two books facing one-another to create a “portal” , I wanted to play with that idea more.

So I animated two books flipping through pages than forming a shape that resembles my logo. I had a very hard time trying to get the bend on them right so the transition is not seamless.

I added a quick animation of a night sky using the colors i used in my original logo. Then the sky fades to reveal my new logo. I updated it so it is more versitale. I also updated my logo type to emphasize portal over publishing. I still could not get rid of that line down the middle, its fine as an illustrator file and is only visible when blown up.

Honestly I think my idea was a little too much for 10 seconds. I also learned that sometimes less is better with the audio, I tried to add a bunch of sound effects at first. I ended up just using a “magical” sound effect I found on youtube as the music and the sound of flipping through a book.
