I made this piece by drawing a figure on a sticky note and slightly changing the position of it so that it appears as though it is moving when I flip the pages. I used the first principle of animation, squash and stretch, throughout by piece. Squash and stretch gives the illusion of weight and volume to an object as it moves. I used this principle in the beginning with the bouncing ball and in the middle with the falling boulder that squishes the little stick figure. Something that I think went well was the bouncing ball and the "the end" at the end. If I were to change something about this piece, I would make the objects more detailed and add more of a story line rather than just little scenes together.
Something that I really like about my piece are the silhouettes of the different animals because, I was able to make each one look realistic while not being over-detailed. I also really like my color scheme and love the pops of red in the quote and fireworks. If I were to do this project again I would add more elements from the state fair, such as a ferris wheel or other rides, to make it look prettier and more festive. One thing that was difficult while making this piece was keeping the lines clean and not sloppy. Although I used the quick selection tool to help make the silhouettes of the animals, I had to paint over the edges due to the lines not being clean enough.
