Creating a story through
type & motion

For this motion graphic project, I explored the visual storytelling of J. Cole's track "Hunger on the Hillside" through a dynamic poster design. Using Adobe After Effects, I created an immersive visual experience that captures the raw emotion and lyrical depth of the song. The design combines powerful imagery with motion to represent the themes of struggle and aspiration present in the track. Expressive typography, custom illustrations, and layered textures were integrated to reflect J. Cole’s introspective lyricism. The visual style blends gritty realism with abstract symbolism to convey the song's emotional weight and narrative complexity. This project highlights my ability to transform music and emotion into impactful visuals, using both traditional design principles and modern animation techniques. Below is the poster made to represent the thematic purpose of this work.
