Progress Surgery Feedback

The tutorial was really useful. After some reassurance from Fred, I feel like I am on top of things and going in the right direction with all my briefs. I have finished 4 briefs so far and have 3 more to go! These briefs are:

SB1 (final major project) - To be honest I still don't know what I'll be producing as the final product for this. For the pop-up book route, there's nothing bad about keeping the story simple, but if so I have to focus on making the pop-ups really amazing. Fred suggested I concentrate on making the characters on point first though and not worry about what the final product will be yet (because he believes this is why I'm getting all confused) - how will I convey their personalities? what is this world that they live in? Since I want to be a character designer in the animation industry, I think it's wise I sort this out first! I think once I've figured out the characters and done more sketches of them interacting with each other and the world around them, a more solid story will come naturally from this.

SB4 (paper portraits) - My concern with this brief is not having enough time to complete all of my paper portraits. Fred pointed that I've already done all the hard work, and he knows that I work quite quickly so he thinks I can do it! He also told me to push the scale and format with this brief - think about other products that I can produce from it instead of taking the easy way out and putting things into books - making it into cards that people can collect? make a game out of it (like Guess Who?)?. Fred told me that I have placed myself in a position where I can/should take risks and not be afraid if it fails! (same goes for my final major project).

SB7 (ayasoB) - All there is to do now is digitise the comic strips, making sure that it would print ok at a large scale. Aiming to complete this next week, as the deadline for it is end of March. Completed on 30/03/16.
