Week 5 Ex. D

 All about Domo - it's a domologue!

#1

This is a side angle shot of the character. It gives the photograph a more stoic feeling as we cannot see Domo's face. Domo's body is aligned with the vertical lines of the table leg and the books. This is intended to give Domo a strong and respectful stance despite his small physicality in only being able to occupy the central row. I feel that the audience would perceive Domo to be a strong individual.

#2


This was a frontal shot with Domo placed at the bottom left lower thirds. Our eyes are immediately guided to look at Domo by where he is framed in the photo following the rule of thirds. This is aided by the colour palette in which his red mouth draws attention as it is the only colour with a strong hue that is separate from the browns and whites in the photo.  

#3

While maintaining Domo in the same bottom left lower thirds, I attempted a wider bird-eye angle. It was quite surprising in how small the subject becomes in a wider shot. Compared to the previous photo, capturing more space from a higher angle resulted in a more lonesome feeling where Domo becomes insignificant or lost in the space.

#4

Seeing as how Domo is baring his teeth, I tried to use a medium close up shot with worm's-eye view to portray his dominance. He would appear more monstrous and menacing as he seems bigger from this perspective.

#5


Contrary to the previous photo, this was a close up shot with the intention to show the "cuteness" of Domo. This angle makes Domo feel less monstrous than the one before as being able to be in such a close distance with Domo suggests that he is not as scary as thought to be. But rather, the audience would perceive Domo as harmless... They could even view Domo as cute in his attempt to act scary.

Week 8 Ex. G

 Spiraling This was done in AI. I wanted to do a pattern of increased complexity with a traperzium of sorts. I duplicated it and rotated it to the right at an angle until the rotation would cause one of the sides to stick out of the box (box 1 to 3). I then grouped it and then duplicated the entire pattern and made is smaller than the original to overlap it (box 4 to 5). In the last box (box 6), I made it more complex by enlarging the grouped trapeziums such that it now slightly sticks out of the box, giving an illusion that the lines still continue infinitely outside of the box.

Assignment 2 - Story Time!

Contract Killer When I was reading the brief, I wanted to do a crazy comedic scene. However, I did a second (final) iteration of the assignment as the storyline I submitted for the critique was too chaotic. The final iteration can be found after the Critique Session. First Iteration - Storyboard I decided to do the storyboarding on paper because I have better freedom of expression with a physical pen than a digital one. Below are scalations of the drawn storyboards. Read from left to right, row by row. Pikachu have white ears while Pichu have black ears. 1 - Ditto Baby (Used) Storyboard 1 - Ditto Baby Two Pikachus are just chilling and one of them has a baby in its PokeBall pouch (kind of like a kangaroo). The Pichu comes to join the chill party and wants to see the baby. However, the baby is a Ditto Pichu resulting in a bunch of surprise Pikachu faces. It ends with the Ditto fleeing the scene. Background Context: A Ditto is a pokemon with the iconic :) face that can shapeshift into an...

Assignment 1 - Abstraction

Abstraction of Le Rice Cooker  Stage 1 I was pacing around the house deciding on what would be a good object to abstract from, not too manydetails nor already too simplified. I entered the kitchen and found our cute little rice cooker... Perfect! My aim is to abstract the rice cooker with the intention of showing that it is a small portable pink rice cooker. For Stage 1, I decided that it would be a good idea to trace out the rice cooker and capture all the details like the words, the plug and even the rice scoop. This is the most realistic illustration of the rice cooker. To do this, I duplicated the photo (press and hold ALT and drag it across) and decreased its opacity so that I can use the Pen Tool to trace over it. I did a rough outline and then went into the details. Given that there were a lot of curved points, I followed Kai's advice on not dotting to create the curve but instead anchor it at another point and continue to press down on the left mouse button to create the cu...
