This animated print study began as a two-hour motion exercise exploring how an existing brand object could be reinterpreted through movement. I chose a Poland Spring water bottle featuring an MLB sponsorship label, using the baseball player illustration as a starting point for a short animated piece.
The first iteration focused on recreating the rhythm and visual language of Poland Spring’s campaign-style motion intros, translating the bottle’s printed identity into a moving graphic system. After the initial draft, I refined the piece to fit the assignment’s rubric more closely: the animation had to be connected to an actual physical object I owned.
The final version treats the bottle not just as packaging, but as a small moving surface — a printed object extended through motion. The project became a quick exercise in adaptation, brand observation, and how motion can shift a familiar everyday object into something more editorial and performative.
