Age Before Beauty was part of my final Graphic Design II project. The assignment was to create a fake tv series and design promotional graphics for it. The concept of the show was to showcase beauty routines throughout the decades while highlighting social and economic factors that might have influenced the trends of the era.
My favorite part of this assignment was creating the video trailer and the featured image as seen on the left. I used Photoshop to cut out all of the women from each decade spanning from the 1910’s to the early 2000’s. From there, I used the timeline tool to make a GIF of each woman appearing one at a time. I then took that GIF into After Effects to create the animation of changing features on the main center girl. I added a synth pop from Adobe Stock that really ties in the theme of the show.
