It started with 56 animated gifs on a website, directed by Johnny Kelly and Matthew Cooper, aiming to create a platform in which young designers and creatives from all over the world can participate.

It’s pretty easy really, you just create a gif on the website and upload it, or upload one from your computer. This is a working in progress project commissioned by Elisava School of Design with concept, creative direction and design by Soon in Tokyo, a communications agency made up of former Elisava students and teachers.

Check out the website at I Am Not An Artist at Nexus Studios for an amazing gif spectacle.
