ROBERTS
Andrew Roberts
Illustrator & Animation
Andrew Roberts, Illustrator and designer, was commissioned to creates flipbooks
for institutions such as The Royal Shakespeare Company and The Metropolitan
Opera, so when it came to creating a banner for his website, he decided to bring a
similar sensibility to an animation to run along the top. In Illustrator, Roberts created
an extremely detailed background (almost 30MB) based on his hometown cycling
route called the Backs; this is the spot in Cambridge (UK) where you'll find both
Clare College and Kings College (famous for its 500-year old chapel). On a
separate layer above he created the foreground elements, and then in yet another
layer, Roberts created groups of elements that form his academic cycler. Each of
the cycler's groups represents a detail for the animator to articulate (the hat, the
arm, legs, petals).
