I had to change my project pretty significantly from my initial idea, because I was still having trouble understanding Max. In order to still try to convey my original message, I made the traditional symbol of Agender move over and expand over the symbol for how I identify (for the sake of explanation, right symbol = traditional and left symbol = personal) almost as if it was swallowing the left symbol whole. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I tried to use more technical or less emotional language for the text as well as formatting it as if the system found an error. I wanted to try to convey how the definitions or explanations of identities felt to me- I’ve never really liked people trying to label me in any way, because it felt like it fit me. It felt more like an expectation that was put onto me, so I tried to used cold or detached language in this project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is only the first iteration of this project, because I want to continue working on it as I understand Max and its tools better. That would include polishing the animation and making it more smooth, possibly adding the arrow, and adding the word cloud. Also, I have no idea where the little black square came from, so I just left it in for the time being to troubleshoot later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artist Question: With the more minimalistic version of this, is it still impactful (if at all) than it might have been if I include components like the word cloud or arrow?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
