mock up of the summer project webpages

This is the design of the web-page we discussed yesterday, we also have a tag line "after washing please remove all clothing" but I have not added that onto these pictures.



While I was editing the page above I decided to do another one just to have a choice of the direction we want to go in.

this is the second design

Tuesday 23 February 2010



I started thinking about a hello kitty style cartoon flash animation but maybe give it a twist.

So I thought the main character would be drawn and styled in the same manner.

However I want her to not fit the prototype of hello kitty and be some what of an outcast.











I started some drawings of faces to go from, trying out different face types, ears, accessories ect.






I eventually went with no.5 as my character.









When i had decided what I wanted her to look like I started to draw her out with differnt expressions to see what they would look like and how I would design them.

This will give me a lot of help when it comes to manipulating the expressions in flash.





I then drew her in photoshop which will be the final design before I put her into flash and start to animate her.









This is the second character in the story line who appears in the middle of the animation.

I wanted the girl to be designed differntly as she comes from a different world to the main character.

I decided to style her in the fashion of the cartoon series 'hey arnold' where their heads are significantly disproportionate to their bodies and the drawings are reasonably simple but also detailed.





I then went on the write a story board for this animation. So that i have a basic structure for my plot which I can then add to and elaborate later on.








After the story board was written i distingiused two main places in the story,

one of which is this one, the bubblegum-esqe hello kitty world where the main character starts off






and the world of reality which is where we meet the second character in this bar.
