1) My self symbol concept was "student athlete". I believed that this was one of the best ways to portray two important parts of my life; my school and after school life. Because I start my day off in school and change out of my clothes I chose to show the transformation between student and athlete through a change in my clothing and the background.

3) Originally, I wanted to show this transformation through photography and through my actual change in clothing and a change in backgrounds. However, I realized that this transformation would be too sudden and that there would not be enough layers/frames. On top of that, it would be difficult to make sure that the angle was the same and that the lighting was similar, to prevent horrible transitions. So instead, I realized that it would be much easier to draw and color my own frames and images to complete my gif. In hindsight, everything was much more difficult due to the fact that I was going to change the background but forgot, making me go back and fix everything frame by frame. Also, I realized that my transformation was too sudden and may be too sudden even now, but I had added frames to slowly change the color from blue to black for the shirt and from black to white for the pants.
