Getting to Grips with a Cintiq
During my lunch break I decided to give the Cintiq in the studio a whirl. I did these 3 sketches in about 15 mins spending about 5 mins on each roughly. I think I am in love with it. Now all I need is someone to buy one for me. Anyone?

Website Development - Colour Palette
I have taken a quick moment out of my production to start looking into the mood board I created previously. I took it into photoshop and picked out colours that I want to base my theme on. I am pleased with the overall tone which resembles a playful sort of powder paint.

Website Development
I wanted to start
looking into the colour and design of my personal website that I will be using
to sell my skills after graduating. I am taking the time to look at other
website from other animators and take it what I like and what I dislike from
them:
Dony Permedi - 3D animator’s website
- Good strength of visuals.
- Limited colour palette.
- Showreel right on the front page.
- Small amount of nagivation. 3 top tabs.
- Don’t like the use of grey. Seems a little boring. A little sterile. Not very personal from the look of it.
Josh Burton - Animator / storyteller
- A site that I really don’t like. It is more like a blog layout rather than a website layout.
- Similar limited colour palette.
- Not many visuals on the first page. Not really looking like a shop window.
Ryan Woodward's page
- Impressive style. Its all in tune with his own style.
- Nice banner of work. Interactive. With animation within the website. (use?)
- Nice paper texture.
- Has a blog feel like the previous one.
From these sites I have found some issues that I want to consider when I begin to design my site.
I want to:
- Try and make paper texture style new and different.
- A uniformed style between my site/blog/twitter/business card.
- Images and show reel on the front page. As I am both design and animator.
- To work within a limited colour palette for all design work for the site.
To start looking into the idea of getting a colour scheme that will
help my site stand out I have decided to whip up a simple mood board of colours
and textures that I want to filter into my inspiration for my website.
I want to have some colour in my site and the two covers by MSMR
will play a big influence in how I want the site to look in terms of soft
pastel like colours that play off each other.
Next I will be starting to look at the layout and pages I will be including within the site.
Dear Nana (Character Turnarounds)
Here are two Turn Arounds I have done for Dear Nana. They were very easy to do with great designs made by Lydia. They took about 2 hours each.
