Prototype Motion Graphic Designer
June, 2021 - January 2022
Seoul, South Korea
As a Motion graphic designer, I independently designed scene-specific prototypes in line with the script, utilizing motion graphics and protopie. This project focused on creating scenes in the movie where characters use a dating app, making it appear as if the app is functioning in a realistic manner.

Somebody Logo

The heart shape in the dating app logo was specifically chosen to convey its romantic meaning.
Unlike a typical heart shape, it was designed to resemble a human heart, emphasizing a deeper connection. Moreover, the folded shapes within the heartbeats were strategically arranged to form the letter "S," symbolizing Somebody.

Prototype Motion Graphic - Profile

Designed a motion where instead of moving the card up and down, it swipes diagonally to bring vibrancy to the "like" and "nope" actions on the profile. Furthermore, to enhance the dynamic experience, we incorporated a motion allowing users to rotate the card a full 360 degrees for added interactivity and engagement.

In the dating app's most crucial section, the matching screen, we placed a strong emphasis on showcasing romance.
