Reflection - Initial Ideas

For our Reflect project, I want to do something that not only helps to show my experiences of the year, but the sort of things I am interested in pursuing in the course, and that I have enjoyed doing the most for it.

I love the idea of doing an art book kind of presentation (although will it have lots of small extra text?) giving me a chance to do some more character/environment design as well as experimenting with media, allowing me to show my year in a much more visual way.

Thoughts about this year to be presented;

- Intention to illustrate, not animate; accidentally happen into this course
- Actually more impatient with storyboards, less enjoy than I thought

Character design - loved it as expected and did most work in that, intend to do more in the future.

Backgrounds - was fun for the purpose of experimenting and looking at layout; sometimes uninspired but that could have been to do with the places I had available to draw; would like to try it with maybe famous/historical places.

Animation - need lots of work! Slowly trying new programs, less scared of After Effects now. Still enjoy it less than design though! Think I over complicate things too much with Photoshop, so other experimenting is needed.

Have some scenes/storyboards of the year nearer the end of the presentation? Or stick to design things?

Story ----> Char Design ---> Env Design ---> SBoard ---> short animated gifs


Presentation then character design heavy with some environment design, possibly some storyboards. Write a script to talk about? Can then help inform the presentation, order of things etc.
