Why Do Americans Drink Coffee ?

An editorial gif that for assignment for the article ‘Why Do Americans Drink Coffee?’ written by Grace Olmstead.

The gif is 4 sets of traditional paintings done in gouache, then scanned into Photoshop and compiled into a gif as well as a stagnant version for print.

The original sketches done for the project laid the foundation for the creative process, while the initial rough-cut of the gif provided a glimpse into its potential form and visual elements.
