First Character Design


As part of our 3D Modelling project we were required to design a character. This is a character sheet I produced. Yes, the quality is a little poor, but this is how it came out when I uploaded it to this blog.
This would also serve as my first attempt at Digital Painting and the use of textures.

My First Proposal Draft

Community Arts Proposal


Me and my Work:
As a designer I work hard to achieve a professional standard in my work. I work through a specific structure to get from start to finish, and my peers have claimed my work to be current and fresh.
I possess considerable experience in Adobe Aftereffects, Cinema 4D, Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. I have produced projection mapping before, in that I produced an ident for the Sky Arts channel. I have also produced animated sequences such as a Diamonds are Forever title sequence and a Loop de Loop film.

Making it Happen:
Preproduction-
  •  Initial Designs/storyboards
  • Development/planning techniques and programs to use
  •  Experimenting with techniques
Production


Postproduction-
  •             Organizing sequences into montage/After FX
  •             Sound design
  •             Final Cut

Benefit to Myself:
I wish to produce this film because it would give me valuable experience for working for a professional organization. It would also give me a chance to present my work to a public audience, which would give me a wider exposure to work.

Marketing:
We intend to produce a webpage advertising our project. We will also market our project through social networking sites such as Facebook, Vimeo and I personally will include my project in my blog. Also we can print flyers or posters within the community.

Meeting the aims:
Our project brief is to create a montage of animated sequences which will be projection mapped onto one of two exhibits within the Discovery Museum, specifically a set of model ships or a set of four screens.
The objective of the client is to attract visitors to the museum through an aesthetically appealing and creative installation. This will also be the first time they have had a projection mapping installation in the Discovery Museum.

Evaluation

The success of our project can be measured through the audience’s opinion of our presentation through reviews which can be received through a forum within our group webpage. We can also give handouts in which they can provide feedback in the form of surveys.

Game Design

Video Game Cover

Above is a design of a cover for a video game we were told to create concept art for. In my design I included the color theme for my game: monochromatic with red being the only color.
The video game, Ashes and Roses, is a survival horror based on the Black Death.
