Character Design

 Character Design:

We were given the task to create a character based off 3 words that came to our head or generated by a word generator. My words were Teenager, Detective, and Skinny. There weren't many options to choose from so these were the best I could go for.

This was the final result of trying to create this character, to me they look a bit scruffy but for a few easy attempts, they came out alright.
I used the website Piskel to create pixel art of a detective. Piskel is a website which allows you to draw anything up to a certain resolution, it is very easy to understand and nice to use. Any of this could have been completely different if I had gotten any other words describing a character. For me this shows the levels of character design in highly produced games.

RanGen.com : This software is incredible, I would use this regularly. It gives off loads of information for random characters and it has many more features than the last one I wrote about. I love that it gives so much about their appearance. It really gives way for concept art to be drawn of them. I really like the personality section due to its simplicity but yet effective use of many words to describe a person in a very short space. I love the detail it gives, who thinks about randomly generating 'personal status'? These guys. To even add a job with a satisfaction percentage takes much attention to detail. Love the idea of Marital status and how it shows their preference to gender. Shows that the people who made this took their time to think about the quality and the detail to offer. This is another feature I quite like. To add Religious views along with world and racial is an amazing feature to have as it makes thinking about characters views so much less time draining. I al

 So far i have started an assignment Unit 3&4 - Understanding an Audience. i am at the moment focusing on 1.2 as i have done the research needed to think about how the two digital products advertise to their target audience. I chose Spotify and Canva as they are two very different products but they advertise very similarly. I explained what Canva is and how it's a products for designers trying to seek out easy but easy to professionalize their design. I wrote about how Spotify is a online music streaming service that provides recommendations for new songs through lots of use. It was really easy as the internet was there for me to do some secondary research to find out how Canva advertises and what Spotify does to keep its good reputation across the internet. I wrote about both their income and how they quickly rose to fame. I wrote about who their target audience is and how they advertise to their needs. Both target a variety but stay in a category. Spotify targets people who l

 While I was at home, I looked out my room and this gave me some creepy vibes when just looking down. This reminds me of abandoned houses in horror games what leave you at a hall  way waiting to be jump scared. It interested me on how any day to day image could turn into a horror show. I definitely like the atmosphere it created with the light being from where the camera is. It reminds me of fog, in the way that where you stand in the fog you can see where you stand but you cannot see up ahead giving that unknown element. In horror games like 'Slender-Man' it does the same feature where you can see up to a certain degree and that narrows the first person perspective giving that tension builder. Another picture I took was one of the outside when the sun was slowly setting the scene for people to get tired and sleep. It was nice view to see and a good time to capture it. I honestly liked the colour scheme the sun-setting gives off. Going from a nice bright sky to a dark, misty lo
