I started off by creating four simple characters on Illustrator, this didn't take long as it was something which I have previously created and I developed it.
These characters would be the basis for my piece, the words that I got given, read as : "The first student representative council (now the student union) met on 30th November 1927" this demonstrates that the information provided was short and concise therefore making it much easier to animate.
I then moved on to create a simple video where the information was conveyed quickly and simply. I also added a transition slide where a rectangle just wipes over the piece in order to get it to link to the other pieces which we created.
