Project type: School *Based on the 2021 RSA Student Design Awards Competition Brief “Bridging our divides” is a speech given by US Surgeon General Vivek Murthy. In it, he highlights the importance of communication between people of different political beliefs. The problem: his monotone delivery may be considered boring or dry by younger audience members. The solution: make an animation to energize the content. The animation consists mostly of shapes, keeping it simple while also highlighting the fact that we humans come in many different shapes and sizes. Software used: After Effects & Illustrator
