Meeting 09
Attendees: Mike Pickton (Supervisor)
Agenda
Can I have some feedback on my art bible/style guide
Does my essay for ISMA5000 seem like it is going in the right direction?
Is there anything else you think I should add to my essay?
Feedback
The style guide is very good for a first try
For the silhouette and colour break up sections they need more annotation and need to be explained more: why does it need to be contrasting? where are the areas of contrast and why?
You need to make sure people understand what you want them to do and why
Type out the analysis to make it easier to read and to cut down on spelling mistakes
Go into more technical analysis: talk about rigging, how many bones? how does the cloth deform? does it follow the legs or have its own bones?
Do you use alphas? if so what are they used for?
Cloth has a thickness when modelled (could also add the measurement as well to make everything coherent)
why have you chosen the colour scheme? is there a main colour? do all the characters follow this?
For the essay do it as a research report
Use the layout I (Mike Pickton) made for James
Talk about your research in broad terms don't explain what you have done just say how it has helped or hasn't
Reading will only get you so far (art direction) because no one will give you a job: expand on that to help your argument
Explain why the other research methods will only get you so far and why practical projects will be the best
Objectives for next week
Finish ISMA5005 research report
Write a blog on the practical project and reflect on Mike Pickton's feedback
