Layout

Layout - Semester 1

 

 

Throughout the first year Layout course, we were assigned a different layout each week, incorporating some specific element. While layout is certainly not my area of expertise at the moment, I feel I am improving and I'm uploading these to document my progress. See more after the break.

Textures

Texture Experimentation

 

The purpose of this assignment was to start to study textures, both realistic and stylized, using the same layout. Pictured above is the normal scene with a realistic texture applied.

 

 

This is the same scene, but obviously with a much more stylized texture. I may have taken it a bit far, but it was fun to experiment with it.

 

 

Speaking of having fun with it... The third component of the assignment was to do the same scene with completely wrong textures, but still have the objects and textures read. Fuzzy snails, sponge trees, paper grass, and cardboard clouds were all fun to play around with.

Skeletal Studies

Skeletal Studies

 

This assignment was to research the various bones of the body (Skull, ribs, scapulae, vertebrae, arms, legs, and pelvis) and present that information in some creative format. I decided to present each part of the body as if it were listing itself on a dating profile, complete with 'recent photographs' - renderings of each bone, in the required three views. It was a fun assignment, informative, and definitely helped me cement the structures of the skeleton in my mind. See all the pages after the break.

 

Cut Out Animation

Cut Out Animation - Cowboy

 

 

 

This was just a test animation for ToonBoom Harmony, in which we had to design a character and have it walk or jump. I did both, and played a little bit with the cutout format for the gag. Just a quick bit of fun.
