01/27/2018 ... Exercise 2 ... Final Edits

Instead of going in the direction of making the type look like food, I played off the idea of an animal food chain. I chose the lion-zebra predator to prey relationship because it’s well-known, and zebra print is easily recognizable. I switched out the stomach growling for another sound. It might get mistaken for the roar of a lion, but I think that sound still works for the video anyway, and by having the stomach vibrate it's more suggestive of hunger. For the G I made the top half it’s mane, and split the G there for it’s animations. This way I could also hide the “hinge” in the fur.

The stomach grumbling alludes to hunger and “appetite,” the lion eating eight whole zebras alludes to “gluttony,” and the predator-prey relationship of lion to zebra alludes to “viciousness.” All support the wordsmash of “Glicimite.”

I added in a blue sky and yellow grass, but kept these details pretty minimal so the focus is on the type. I cleaned up the motions a bit more, and added in movement lines as the G is springing across the page, and music notes bursting from the centre of the G as it whistles.
