Reflection: Revised Ideas

Looking at the artbooks that I like and my thoughts/feelings on the year to include in my presentation, I have been finding it hard to find a way to combine them together for my presentation. If I had sections of character design, and then environment design, and storyboards, I would probably want them to be chronological/ in some sort of order because that's what works in an art book. This is a little tricky to match to what I want to say, because that doesn't match up with the subjects covered in an art book.

Having done some research on motion comics recently, I thought that maybe this could be a good way to show my thoughts and feelings, with some moving comics showing what I may have been doing at the time, and important key moments in this year of education. I also keep seeing Rebecca Mock's illlustrations everywhere which are gorgeous and a good way of combining animation and illustration. To me, they seem to work better than motion comics, which sometimes use a bit too much animation and also take longer.







If I can combine these two techniques, I think that maybe I could come up with some good animated images to represent each part of my journey throughout the year, and that wouldn't take me too long to do (especially while trying to fit our PPP animation in as well!)

This also gives me an opportunity to try out some different designs and styles (which was the reason why I wanted to do art books at first) so this will be a good idea for me, I think.
