Rook

OVERVIEW

As part of my bachelor’s thesis, I designed and animated a chessboard that adopts the playful yet precise aesthetic of Teenage Engineering. The project’s biggest hurdle was the visual storytelling—choreographing the animation to highlight key functional features while maintaining a sophisticated, "pleasing" visual rhythm.
