Final Idea

On Friday we had a final crit, in which we were split into groups and presented our work to each other. We usually present to the class but, I think the small groups really helped because, you get more of a in-depth conversation, which really helps develop your idea in terms of suggestions.

During my presentation, I didn't get as much feedback as I would have liked but I thin that was my fault. I didn't really have much to present in terms of my idea because I was really unsure which direction to take, making it very confusing for my peers to understand. When I realised that it was getting a bit confusing for people I just narrowed it down to two ideas, characters or levels in which I would compose for. Conversation got rolling and I got some helpful feedback that helped me choose the final idea I'm going to go for, which is composing character theme tunes. I chose this based on people saying that character design is one of my strengths and that I should play to it and they also said it's a more sensible project in terms of time.

A valuable lesson to take from this is to be more organised with what i'm going to present to avoid confusion and if in doubt, ask questions.

What to do now?

The first thing I need to do is very quickly come up with a story and character design which I then can compose for. I want to take credit for the design aspects and such so I will do all of this on my own but I don't want the final concept art of my character to be done by me. Prior to this, I have briefly spoken to Sophie and she's kindly agreed to do the concept art for me. Concept art isn't really my thing so, I think it's only fair to give that out to someone who's interested in that so they have something else to put towards a portfolio.
