Finding comfort in your space in an unusual and new place.

We want to superimpose a collaged character into the city to contrast their existence in it.

The proposed idea would be having this collaged character navigating through the streets to their apartment. While on their journey we see the world around them in greyscale honing in on this idea of reaching a comfortable space.

While sophia was working on that, I decided to work on a smoke puff animation. While playing around with Procreate I found out that there was a way to animate on the app itself! Using a special brush, I was able to create a very fun looking smoke puff animation.

The annoying thing here was that we were not able to get it to stick to the plane itself. But then we re-examined our approach to the personal objects motif and then picked a few albums that we enjoyed.

This was our final output. Being able to have this little walkthrough and showing off our albums in AR felt like a very personable experience. The ability to add in my
