Initial Ideas and Sketches

While researching i found the vast amounts of possibilities style wise for this wallet. Should i go too cartoony? too realistic? too cute? too young? too artsy? too plain? too me?






And id love to give an answer in regards to direction, but that's where this weeks problem comes in, ladies and gentlemen boys and girls of all ages allow me to introduce you too...

The Beast from the East!

Over dramatic possibly but this week once again no further advice or feedback, i have sent PDFs but they don't do the ideas justice, i need face to face discussions.

Class: CANCELLED
Meeting: CANCELLED

I seem to be going round in circles in terms of designs. The panic of final year and final project has kicked in and i would've expected myself to be further on at this point.
I seem to be at the same place as classmates but every project is different, and i think my project in the given time i have should be further on.

Cue another supplies trip to trick myself into being momentarily overly productive and organised.
The latest time management hack ? White boards.
Bigger with more subject to change and each new day is a new opportunity to beat the day before.

Whereas when i was last in university you submitted your reflective journal, all back up work, and on a usb you submitted the final outputs in different formats and the most recent file it was created with. This was as far as im aware to judge professional practice and how efficiently the skills were used, rather than just a final image. I have decided i will submit my books within a portfolio alongside a printed prototype. Finding somewhere to print on a ziplock wallet or an alternative was surprisingly difficult. My usual printers dont do product printing, so that was a non starter, the supervisor suggested a printers in Belfast, also a dead end, i researched every pr...

Developing the Characters

Image
This while continuing digital concepts and development work i've also begun thinking what else i should submit for this project to give the examiners an insight into the thought and design process. I like the idea of a fast paced making off, similar to the animatic i made in my second year, where a little chibi version of myself discusses the project while introducing reference photos with unique or comical transitions. There is a scene in marley and me (link below) with a upbeat tempo with opportunities of pause, reflection, humour or a jump forward in time, it was a unique way of condensing large amounts of time and experience into a few minutes. I have looked for potential royalty free instrumental background similar and to quot the clip NADA, so i have reached out and secured a musician happy to help come up with something equally upbeat and simple, collaborating with a musician will allow me to dictate the amount of time needed. I have begun designing the characters and t...
