Motion Design Projects in OttawaMotion Design Projects in OttawaAFTER THE SIGNAL: The System Chose Consistency. The Human Chose Meaning.
For the Envato × Contra Human by Design challenge, I created AFTER THE SIGNAL, an editorial design system about a specific creative conflict:
What happens when the automatic answer is polished, coherent, and still wrong for the meaning?
Issue 01 established a confident visual system.
For Issue 02, the automatic recommendation was obvious: repeat the same typeface, image language, density, and rhythm.
The result was consistent.
It was also too certain for a story about the silence before anyone knows whether a system has failed.
My Human by Design moment was not “make it different.”
It was:
REPEAT THE ESTABLISHED IDENTITY ×
PRESERVE WHAT ISSUE 02 NEEDS ✓
I redirected the typography, grid, hierarchy, spacing, image meaning, motion rhythm, and sound around hesitation and uncertain transmission.
Envato was used across:
ImageGen
VideoGen
SoundGen
MusicGen
The fjord became the language of stability.
The relay became the language of uncertain transmission.
The handoff click marked the exact moment human judgment took control.
The tools generated the visual and sonic ingredients.
Human judgment decided what they meant.

THE SYSTEM CHOSE CONSISTENCY.
THE HUMAN CHOSE MEANING.

Most snack brands place a mascot on every package.
OFFBITE does the opposite.
Each cookie flavor carries only one fragment of a shared negative-space system. Separated, the cartons remain abstract. Aligned, they reveal one collective presence.
The system extends into motion and behavior without adding eyes, a mouth, or literal limbs. Expression comes through weight, distance, compression, and form.
A self-initiated speculative project exploring packaging, brand systems, motion, and 3D art direction.
