Self Symbol GIF Reflection

My Self Symbol concept is annoyance. When I was brainstorming for this project, I struggled to come up ideas that describe me. I really thought about how I do in certain situations. This one idea popped up in my head: annoyance. I tend to get annoyed easily whenever I need a quiet space. There are always someone who would disrupt my peaceful time so I get really annoyed that I had to shush him or her. In my GIF, I decided to portray myself in form of fish living in my little world where it's peaceful and quiet. I also used the dog to represent as person who would loves to disrupt my quiet moments. 

Here's my Self Symbol GIF...

Going from my original idea to animated GIF takes a lot of time. When I first tried to come up some ideas, my ideas were really simple. For example, in my concept of annoyance, I simply thought of a fish swimming in the tank with a dog barking. To push further, I had to use Photoshop to effectively demonstrate my character trait. Using Photoshop, I made sure that I created layers to enhance my project. Creating an image on Photoshop is not easy at all when I'm trying make it more consistent in terms of color and size. Once I get all layers done, I started creating an animation. For each frame, I paid more attention to which layer should be seen. As I was making an animated GIF, I realized how is it important to consider the beginning and the ending when it comes to demonstrating my quality. I specifically make the GIF go forever because I can't really change my character. It is part of who I am. This is how my original idea has evolved through usage of Photoshop.
