Task 5 – Production

·         Produce draft sketches based on your profile. You may want to carry out further research into characters to help you at this stage. Just be careful that you are inspired by existing characters and don’t simply copy them.

·         With an assistant, carry out a photoshoot of possible poses for your character. You may want to include simple props to assist in the design process. Having reviewed the results, you may find that you need to shoot additional shots. It is important that you are playful and experiment, as the more imagery you create, the more options you give yourself.

·         Using your photographs and suitable found imagery (remember to cite sources) use Adobe Photoshop to produce an amalgam of your character and setting. Having a range of resolutions and inconsistent colour values within the artwork is not critical, as you will be tracing from this amalgam, but try to keep the quality high wherever possible.

·         Place your raster artwork into an Adobe Illustrator document, locking it into a template layer and then build your vector design in the layers above. Make sure that you have included the setting for your character in the foreground, mid-ground and background.

Ensure that you have included all aspects of your working processes within your production log.
