Week 3

1. Symmetry

For "symmetry", I looked at a lot of references in Pinterest on what shape and motion I should go with.

There isn't particularly any reference that I want to specifically follow, but after scrolling for a long time to the point I started zoning out and making my own wild shapes and motions (even though there is a fair chance I won't be able to execute it due to my lack of After Effects skill), I finally decided to work with square shapes.

I made a couple squares and tried to place them at the centre (I took some time to snap them to the centre, and for some reason, they like to move around), and then I tried to play with the scale and rotation to see if anything comes to mind.

For some reason, the play of square and diamond shapes makes a pretty decent shape. I put every square or diamond at the outer edge of the smaller shapes, making some kind of catchy pattern.

When I thought it was enough and looked symmetrical, I decided to then proceed to make the motions and the keyframes.
