In a momentous celebration, Brazil bids farewell to Jair Bolsonaro's controversial presidency, marking the end of an era marred by a pandemic and attacks on human rights. Emerging from an authoritarian, military-based government, the nation enters a new chapter. This project captures the relief of 50.88% of Brazilians during this political transition. The hero animation's visual and motion graphics decisions reflect a urban journalistic style, emphasizing the interaction between photo and typography. The 12fps frame rate defines the composition and cinematic style. Exploring other applications, the animation unfolds into an identity system. This experience affirms design's role in social change, urging designers to act as citizens within our communities.
