Book Cover
Storyboard
These light blue squares appear slowly and collapse downwards
The dark blue squares appear slowly and collapse downwards
Light blue squares appear again with "Dr.Jekyll" text and stays
Dark blue squares appear with "Mr.Hyde" text added to the the previous slide
Solid blocks representing "Dr.Jekyll" flow from the bottom left corner and fades away
Solid blocks representing "Mr.Hyde" flow from the left corner towards the top right corner and fades away
Top part of the blocks flow in from the bottom corner
Sides of the block flow in the same way to join the top parts
Top and sides join together
The squares drop from the top onto the solid blocks completing the block structure and vanishes
Text pops up onto the plain background by slowly spinning and taking it's place
The block structures appear again by flowing from corner to corner, completing the look of the final book cover in place
The main idea of my book cover is the contrast between the personalities of both characters - Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde and how they start as a single character but separate out. I started out by illustrating Dr.Jekyll with light blue squares as he is a pure and positive character while Mr.Hyde is represented by desaturated blue as he is a darker personality of Dr.Jekyll, being evil and violent. The animations starts off as a 2D form with flat squares and then comes in the 3D dimensions with the addition of top and side of the blocks flowing in to create the cuboids. The blocks start off as clustered in the bottom comprising of a mixture of cuboids representing both characters through the differently saturated blue and it slowly spreads out and only cuboids representing Mr.Hyde reach the top of the page as by the end of the story, the evil takes over the good.
