An animated gif made digitally in Adobe Photoshop CC. Made for a class assignment requiring students to think of an “outside-the-box” approach to illustrate a heart attack. I chose to take the heart and turn it into a time bomb being defused, a visual metaphor for the ongoing worry of a potential attack at-risk individuals have to carry and attempt to precariously “defuse.” I used primary colors and a balance of realism and stabilization to portray the subject matter seriously without grossing out or impacting the viewer negatively.
