Progressing Task 4 and task 5 Character has been decided etc… presentation to be presented on Friday… Progressing and improving by using sketches etc…. Ideas were last minute, one thing I’m not good at is creating ideas I feel I need a little bit of an open idea to create my own for example a little more support from teachers so I can create develop and understand what the task is and create a character and story.

Production Log – 2D Character Concept

Novembor 22/11/2012 – 29/11/2012

Character drawn on illustrator and edited on Photoshop both illustrations are ready – However I made a huge mistake as I drew him picture I did not do it in parts therefore I am unable to animate my character (Not able to move arms etc.). Another problem was I learned that Photoshop creates Raster images and therefore on flash after importing the image processes pixelated. I resolved this issue using the Break apart option this tool allows me to colour in my character without there being pixelated corners also this made my image look better and as though it was Hand drawn and painted in.

Working on Flash to create an animation or even an interactive presentation, I used the help from the Flash tools exercise we did before. Buttons etc. were the most difficult. File is saved. I encountered many problems during this part of task however resolved them by using past work I had done with tutorials. However from learning from my mistakes the next time I do a task like this or use flash illustrator etc. I will use graphics and be more careful and think about what I’m doing, I admit I have rushed through this due to late and absence however and also my idea may be weak however from completing this assignment I have learned a lot and developed skills in new software.
