This project was super super fast past and very fun, working in a pair with a graphic designer made it much easier to complete the product in time for the due date. We'd started mind mapping ideas directly after our trip to the cube last week and decided we were both very interested in pursuing the theme of chinese culture seeing as the cube was originally owned by a Chinese overseas company AND there spotlight movies for the month of the program we are designing is asian crime films. We then decided to put this on the back burner while we finished our narrative illustration projects.
I started the week by illustrating a chinese dragon that would flow all the way along one half of the program when it is unfolded, Ellie then used her drawing tablet to make sure the lines of the dragon would work in photoshop and fit onto the size our program had to be. I then drew a couple chinese lanterns and translated the titles for each page into chinese and drew those as well. Ellie did the same to those as she did to the dragon and we were ready to start putting everything together! getting everything the right colour was incredibly difficult as I am not very familiar with photoshop but we managed to get the hang of it, and I began to put everything in place. We had a bit of trouble making the dragon fit correctly on the page but Ellie fixed that up sharpish.
Just after we thought we were finished, had packaged everything up and put it onto kellys usb drive, ready to send to the clients, we discovered we had missed some important information from the back of the program and had to sort that out as quickly as possible as we were running out of time.
