Marianas Trench Takeover

Marianas Trench is a pop rock Canadian band. During their 2025 leg of the tour they have decided to give fans access to their official Snapchat account to promote the fan experience. I decided to make a motion graphic with permission from the social media manager when I had access to the account.

My Role

Motion graphic designer

Objectives

Create a motion graphic that feels in line with the bands current branding

Millennial and early gen z fans of Marianas Trench

Assets & Deliverables

A motion graphic compatiable with snapchats stories feature.

This was my first project in Adobe After Effects and working with motion graphics. initially I designed the graphic in Adobe Illustrator and then transferred the project to Ae. I had never tried to design for a social media platform before, so I faced many challenges along the way, but this project proved to be a fantastic learning experience and expanded my knowledge of the Adobe Creative Cloud.

This project was designed specifically for Snapchat, but was shared across multiple platforms including Instagram and YouTube.

Hi, I'm Samm Lieberman! I'm a graphic designer. I graduated from Bowling Green State University. I specialize in editorial, advertising and brand design. I've enjoyed learning about color, typography, and the Adobe Creative Cloud, throughout my time at BGSU. I have graduated and am spending my job filling out my portfolio while looking for a job. 

Outside of design work I also dabble in digital, traditional, musical, and fiber arts. I utilize these skills in creating a distinct brand for myself and create expressive pieces of work.​
