My Role

I served as the motion designer, visual designer, and conceptual brand developer for the project, creating the mood, color palette, logo and animation from scratch to represent the tone and identity of Galactic Gateways.

The Challenges

The biggest challenge was finding a way to visually communicate the emotional impact of cosmic travel, not through literal spacecraft or UI, but through atmosphere, subtle motion, and cinematic tone. I also needed to ensure the animation looped smoothly, conveyed brand meaning quickly, and functioned well on a website or app without audio.


The Problem

Static branding assets didn’t capture the feeling of scale, quiet, anticipation, and wonder that defines the Galactic Gateways concept. The still imagery lacked motion-based storytelling and failed to draw viewers into the world of the brand.

The Solution

I developed a seamless, subtle looping cosmic animation that uses slow star-drift, luminous gradients, and hypnotic motion to evoke the sensation of floating through space. The resulting loop adds emotional depth to the brand, setting tone and atmosphere immediately and making the concept feel real, immersive, and aspirational.
