This is an animated short for RBFF, Recreational Boating & Fishing Foundation.

These are the styleframes that I created during the development of A Day witH adhD.

This idea focuses the representation of not being able to ‘settle down’ or focus on things that many people who suffer from ADHD may experience. Our hero, who has ADHD, keeps floating around helplessly throughout his life, which affects his relationships and career.

The design couldn’t make it into the actual production at the end since the client went with a different direction.
