Retro 3D Magazine Folder Animation | Vintage Motion Design Concept
A playful motion design concept inspired by retro print aesthetics and classic magazine covers. The animation follows a simple loop where a vintage folder drops into the scene, opens to reveal a collection of magazines, then neatly closes and floats away, creating a satisfying, seamless cycle.
Designed with a minimal motion language and clean physics, the focus is on natural movement rather than flashy effects. The combination of nostalgic textures, bold colours, and subtle 3D depth creates a timeless visual that feels equally suited for branding, editorial experiences, or digital storytelling.

Designed 3 posters for a local bar's Sunday jam nights, with Envato as my toolkit. 🎸🎤
Envato gave me hero images, background texture, and animated video. But none of it works on its own. Someone still has to make the calls.
Human by Design: AI got me fast raw material. Making it feel like this bar took real decisions - recoloring and chroma-keying a stock video before animating, chasing a grimy texture over a clean AI render, picking one generated scene out of several for its energy - then building the composition and type myself.
Toolkit: @Envato Elements, Envato AI, After Effects, Illustrator.

The last screen deserves as much attention as the first.
Designed this portfolio footer with a retro-inspired interface, modern UI details, and a stronger project CTA. Every component was built to make the experience feel intentional from start to finish.

The dot-matrix display aesthetic paired with those subtle orange glow accents gives this footer so much personality.
