A series of animated GIFs created for Buffalo is Creative, the non-profit behind Creative Mornings/Buffalo.
These came about when BIC landed Paula's Donuts as their long running breakfast partner. It was a way of celebrating their delicious and fun offerings. All the donut characters are based on actual donuts. Whether those donuts spend their free time on stand up paddle boards, or playing in fallen leaves remains up for debate. :)
All donuts designed and animated in Adobe Animate.
GIFs are available for use on Giphy.
How all of the ideas start: really rough sketches.
Sometimes they never saw the light of day like the unused ideas for tangled holiday lights and powdered donut as snowman. In other cases you can see how a rough turned into Caramel Apple in the leaf pile.
