Narrative: Poster Design

 In our animation there is a shot where a knife hits a poster. I have designed this poster as an advert for the circus. I wanted to make it quite basic, yet colourful, which is what I think it is. I am very pleased with this as it looks like a proper poster for a circus.

From Script to Screen: Allotment - Exterior Design

Like the interior design, I have stuck to my initial idea. I dd the same technique, but I think the final design is a little smoother. I actually quite like this design. As it has a nice style and is very mysterious.

Initial Idea

From Script to Screen : Allotment - Interior design

This is my final interior design of the allotment. I took my initial idea, drew over it, and added colour to it. The colours that I chose are very cosey and make the shack look very small and compact. These colours are also linked to Simon Frost, through the green and red. I am quite happy with this design, however, I put my hands up and admit that due to a lack of concentration and leaving everything near to the end, I have been unable to do the necessary experiments/thumbnails. I would have like to experiment with too, as I would have wanted to experiment with the colours.

From Script to Screen: Final Character Design - Anna Stone

This is my final design of Anna. Like Simon, I wanted to get a good mix between the bright and dark colours. I looked at the colour tests and thought no. 2 and 3 worked well, so I took these designs and merged them into one, effectively. Her clothes are not very bright, but her skin and shoes are, so there's a good contrast there. Her real character hides behind her friendly smile.

From Script to Screen: Final Character Design - Simon Frost

This is my final design of Simon Frost. Following on from the colour experiments, I wanted to include some dark tones, but still have the bright colours that the style needs. I added a bit more of an expression, through a raised eye-brow to make him look a bit more suspicious and I have given him a photo strip. I am happy with his design as it is fairly simple and suits his character well, I think.

From Script to Screen: Final Prop Design - Wheelbarrow

This is my final wheelbarrow design. I used the same wheelbarrow drawing as before, and added colour and a background to it, in Autodesk Sketchbook. I quite like this as it has a cool cartoon feel, which will work well with the characters, and it has a simple design. 

What If? Metropolis: Final Concept - Part 2

Following on from my last final concept photoshop painting, I have used different brushes and styles to create a more Bridget Riley style city. Her work is very smooth and has very crisp edges, and the previous concept painting didn't have smooth lines or clean brush strokes. This concept painting could still be a little cleaner, though, as some of the lines are random shapes and sizes, where as Riley's work is very consistent. I expanded the city that I made on Maya and have added a sky. This one is much brighter than the last, but it still has the darkness that I want my city to have.

What If? Metropolis: Final Concept

This is my final concept. I really liked the city that I had from the lighting tests, so I took it into photoshop and added detail/tone. I used the same brushes that the original thumbnail had and will continue using the same techniques for future compositions. I really like this result as it is incredibly dark and it isn't clear what is happening.
