    I think you have created an intriguing and atmospheric design bible that feels very suitable for your story and themes. The result is charming but does lack a little sophistication in terms of the presentation of images, resembling a children’s book rather than a professional portfolio. I think that this can be improved by reducing the text size and illustrations, giving all elements a little room to breathe.

    Regarding the character designs, I think Fred the kitten has benefitted from some kitten research. However since he lacks a turnaround, the designs feel a little inconsistent. Some images appear more conventional, others more stylised. Exploring a character’s design is part of the process, but a potential client will need to see this evolution in a finalised turnaround. Charlie suffers from the same lack of a complete turnaround and it would have useful to have more expressions and gestures - his personality feels undeveloped and one-dimensional, with the dolls head providing more expression rather than the creature itself.

    Your environmental assets are good and work well with your theme but I think they would benefit from being interacted into scene rather than as floating images. The storyboards also feel undeveloped and somewhat unclear- it is not certain what is happening narratively so I think this is worth reworking. With a little more development and tweaking, I think you could have a string design bible. - Justin

Summer project 2017 - Drawings 1-22

This week we received the summer project that is to be completed before beginning our first year of the CAA course in a few weeks time. The first stage of this process is the beginning of idea generation. We were given a number of objects, from which we have to create 101 different concepts (including life forms, machines and structures) and then develop 3 of these further.  These are the items that we were given to develop the concepts from. They are ordinary objects, but the trick is to create the extraordinary or unusual concepts from these. The following are the concepts that I have created in the last few days:

The Five Act Structure of the Greatest Showman - Film Review

Image
Three and five act structures are key devices used in effective storytelling. They give narratives and stories a pleasing base structure upon which the weave the elements to create a unique viewpoint. The Greatest Showman has a clear five act structure used beneath all the songs and showy costumes to make it stand up as a narrative. Act 1 - Childhood We see the challenges that Barnum went through as a child. It shows him as a poor tailor’s son struggling to make ends meet. It shows him meeting Charity for the first time. It also shows his father getting ill and eventually passing away, and how he had to beg on the streets for food. Towards the end of the act we see Barnum heading off to make his fortune on the railways.  Act 2 - Attempt One We see Barnum come back a wealthy man to marry Charity. They build a home together and have two daughters. Barnum is working at a trading company, but they all get fired when the company’s flotilla sink. Barnum uses the bonds for th
