Week 02 - Class Notes

DESIGN GRAPH

Key Notes:
- Try using just two of the four categories
- If you're using a third category, it should just serve as an accent design
- If you use all four, you'll get a muddy design

STYLE GUIDE AND VALUE CHART

Key Notes:
- As a general rule, the more stylized the less amount of values.
- Also in the same vein, the more stylized the less use of textures.

HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT

By now, each student should have already picked three characters from their film/show. You're allowed to have no more than two characters overlap per student.

- 3 pages of character design exploration per character (No Color)
  - Explore different body types
  - Explore different facial expression
  - Key poses
- 9 pages total (obviously 😀 ) - That's the minimum

- From all your design explorations, pick your best design for each of the characters
  - You'll be putting that character in a group/team lineup
  - As a team you'll gather all the characters and put them in a lineup (so be mindful to finish early enough)
  - 12 characters total in the team lineup (if you're a group of 4)
  - 15 characters total in the team lineup (if you're a group of 5)
    - It's okay to have the same characters show up multiple times (because these are the overlap characters between the team members)
