This GIF is simply of one of my Sports Heroes, who is no longer here with us, Kobe Bryant. In many people’s eyes, he is a legend and a basketball icon . This GIF is meaningful, because being a basketball player myself, it sort of hits home. My first ever real basketball jersey was a Kobe Bryant jersey, when he played for the Los Angelos Lakers. He a wore the number, 24, which was my number when I played basketball in high school. From his foundations, basketball academy in California, to his highly rated sneakers, he has made a great impact on the world. Even if people do not care for basketball, they have some type of knowledge on who Kobe Bryant is. This process is was very fun, I like to make GIFs and especially for these type of assignments. I think this also, allows me to become more comfortable with this form of digital art. I did not think about digital creativity in a form of a gif, until this class. I think creating these GIFs, will be useful in future endeavors as well.
