COMO, Italy, April 23, 2020 /DesignNewswire/ A' Design Award & Competition has confirmed the Platinum A' Design Award in the Movie, Video and Animation Design category for Alignment to Air 3D Animation by Jin Jeon, designed for Jin Jeon(J2Motion). The recognition forms part of the 2019 - 2020 A' Design Award & Competition and was decided through blind peer review by an international grand jury panel of established academics, design professionals and press members, who scored anonymized entries against predetermined criteria.

What the Platinum A' Design Award Means

The Platinum A' Design Award is recognized for honoring designs that stand at the forefront of creativity and innovation. It is the highest accolade bestowed by the A' Design Awards, acknowledging works that blend remarkable innovation with impactful societal contributions.

Recipients of this award are celebrated for their role in shaping the aesthetics and trends of our time, contributing significantly to the enhancement of quality of life and promoting sustainable development.

Regarding Alignment to Air 3D Animation

As for the creative letter animation, Jin started with the alphabet "A". And, when it comes to the concept step, he tried to see more vigorous moods reflecting on his philosophy which is quite active but organizing at the same time. Along the way, he came up with the conflicting words thoroughly standing for his idea in some way such as align to air which is the title of this project. With that in mind, the animation presents more precise and delicate moments on the first word. On the other hand, this ends up with a rather flexible and loose vibe to manifest the last letter.

Design Details

Unique Properties: As for the personal experimental projects, when starting with the alphabet, A for the typography animation, Jin just came up with the conflicting words in some way such as Alignment to Air which is the title of this project. With that in mind, the animation presents more precise and elaborate moments for the first word. On the other hand, this ends up with a rather flexible and loose vibe to manifest the last letter.
Inspiration: Many designers are recently working on 36 days, weeks, months of type projects to broaden their perspective and improve skills. Those creatives give Jin much inspiration all the time, and He has also been diving into this. While designers out there usually create this project with either static image or just quite short moving sequences, He likes to make one of a kind animations which could stand for more meaningful moments beyond just the beauty of design.
Research: Before diving into gathering reference for the animation, Jin was trying to set the project title first which is Alignment to Air. With the title, he was gathering a wide variety of related images and videos via Google, Pinterest, Behance, Dribble, and Vimeo. Depending on the words, the vibe of the graphics was totally different in that the Alignment comes with more organized and systematic visuals, while the Air literally presents relaxed and easy things.
Challenge: As for the modeling and texturing, it required a great effort to create and map in that this project comes with sophisticated abstract shapes with many layers of them. On top of that, animating was a hard task as well to match up with the complicated geometric forms.
Realization and Technology: Maxon Cinema 4D for 3D Software Octane for Render Plugin Adobe Creative Cloud such as After Effects, Premier Pro, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Audition for Retouch and Composite Tool
Operation and Interaction: This animation catches people eyes on the transformation of the alphabet, A by showing its dynamic performance with various visual effects.
Project Duration and Location: The project started in March 2020 in New York City and it's an ongoing work via social media and personal online portfolio.
