Mouthfull Radio  Projects
Social Media Graphics, Animation
Initiated in 2024, this project was commissioned by Mouthfull Radio, a community radio station based in Te Whanganui-a-Tara, Wellington. Mouthfull Radio required a bold, playful, and informative animation to guide the community to the annual radio exchange, which takes place both in person and over the airwaves. The animation employs dynamic motion, jittery textures, and subtle movement to captivate and inform its audience. Paired with music, it’s the perfect way to tell a story and let Mouthfull Radio’s unique voice shine. The piece embodies the brand, celebrating its diverse music community and artists.
