I was invited to take over Duke & Duck’s DC Motion Co. Instagram feed for a week and I’m grateful that they gave me this opportunity to show the kind of work that I do to a larger audience.
During the lockdown of 2020, a lot of people were moving and feeling in different ways. Some of us had been getting on, while some of us hadn’t. I wanted to take the time to talk with friends and see how they were doing during this difficult time. I wanted to hear how they balance things in their lives. I figured these tips could help others out there.
I interviewed four friends about their self-care habits. Then I illustrated and animated their responses. In conjunction with daily posts, I also made backgrounds for the account’s Instagram stories. I have a love of stones, so I decided to pair a stone with a habit relating to it. In the end, I truly hope my friends and I have given people a few ideas on how they could (and continue to) take better care of themselves when a bit more love is needed. The software used includes Adobe Illustrator and After Effects.
