For my end of year show I created a poster, business cards ,updated cv and I also updated my showreel.for the talking head video Iv decided to just draw a charcuterie of myself rather than take a video and just talk over it.

For my showreel I simply updated my logo at the beginning if the video, I then took out some older animations that I didn’t think showed off my skills properly anymore and put in some newer animations form my major project, still trying to keep in sync with the music.

When it came to my business cards I ended up scrapping my older business card ideas as they just didn’t quite fit with what I wanted to go for, I could decide if I wanted something simple or something detailed, I knew I either wanted one side of the card to be a full illustration with a background or something less in you’re face. I ended up deciding to do a very simple side profile of my face and using two colours that would pop, pink and green, I thought the use of these colours also helped to express myself since those are two of my favourite colours that went quite well together.

 

For the cv I decided to change the design a bit to match with my business cards , I also upstaged some of the information on my cv to be more relevant.

When it came to my poster I had made multiple designs but non of them really stuck out to me, I aksed some class mates and they said it would be best if both of the characters where featured in the poster so I did some redesigning, I finally came up with a poster I liked that I thought represented my major project well.

For the art book I have but it in order of my process, so my concepts and then the finished designs, then the animation process and then the assets and backgrounds.

When it came to the display I knew I wanted to incorporate items which would bring magic and spells to mind since my major project was based on the magic of these mysterious cards, I ended up bringing in a crystal ball , a cauldron, a portion bottle and a pestal and mortar. I also had a cloth with moon designs on it so I places it on the table since it fit with the design of my card.

I placed the business cards into the cauldron because I thought it would be a fun cute way to store them for people to pick up. I was going to print out my major projects cards and place them down like when people do card readings, however I thought the space would start to look a bit cluttered especially since I’m planning to get an art book printed out so I decided against it.

The board itself I had painted it to be a huge turquoise version of the card seen in my film, it took me two days and then I realised I needed to cover it up with an a2 poster , Henry suggested I put my poster on a stand next to the board instead so that you can see the design on it so I think I will do that, I put my character turn around and expression sheets on my Board because I though that would be eye catching for people walking by, I also printed out a few of my backgrounds for display in the board. The business cards seem aren’t my real business cards, just fake prints until I get my real ones.
