For your class project, you will develop a pack of 5 animated stickers to communicate your creative identity!

Think about the essential objects/words that will describe your creative identity the most. To do this exercise, use the Worksheet pdf attached here on the resources.
Think about the actions that you want to reflect on your stickers, doodle around!
Start to sketch! P.S. If you are not an illustrator, I give some tips on how to trace images or create text stickers on the class ;)
Define the color palette of your sticker pack! This is an important step to set the consistency of your work.
And... action! Animate your stickers by applying two principles of animation. (You can go to the Lesson 3 to check the principles).
Export your GIF stickers!
As a bonus, apply for an artist channel on Giphy so you can use your sticker GIFs on other social media platforms like Instagram.
I encourage you to upload your pack of sticker GIFs here on the project section!
Here are some tips to upload:

- For the project itself: please upload in GIF format! When uploading, select ‘image’. It seems strange to upload your moving gif as an image but trust me, the gif will display animated.
Optional: To export your project as a video. You can also export your GIF as an mp4. and then uploaded to the project section as a video.
- For the cover image: Export one of your gif stickers as a still image like I did here on the project section.

I will be thrilled to see your sticker pack on this project section! I am always eager to send some constructive feedback, so please don’t be shy.

I shared 3 of my color palettes here on the resources panel from my self-initiative #onepaletteamonth so you can use them in your project.
To apply the colors, you only have to copy the Hex code with the # included. i.e: #003A66
