In collaboration with K. Flynn, our design process for Coffeehouse Animated embraced the intricate drafting stages inherent in animation, focusing on capturing the essence of creativity and movement. We deliberately avoided referencing any single style or specific animated work, instead drawing inspiration from the broad spectrum of colours most prevalent in animated productions, ensuring a universally recognizable visual language. Our approach integrated sketch-like elements and vibrant palettes to evoke the dynamic and evolving nature of animation. This intentional design resonated strongly with audiences, garnering attention from an online viewership of 24,000 and close to 8,000 attendees at the live event, effectively conveying the spirit of animation through a fresh lens.
