Week 04 3D Design


PRACTICAL – Design ExplorationChoose your favourite concept from all your current 3D designs




I was assent on this week, so here I am going to try to put my project concept and process so far.

Group Member: Queenie Wu and Denise Watson
Exhibition: Kids story books
Growing this week:

  • Topic set- [ Little Brownie Little Trip]
    The story contact is about teddy bear Brownie's venture. It is a big venture for little brownie but actually at the end of the story that he just walk down the street and back home.
  • Book size: Half of A4 = A5 , total 10 pages story of A4 = 20 pages of A5
   The illustration and drawing will be creating on A4 on every pages of story, but fold into a A5 size as a book. Background will cove the full A4 page, the letters position one the left hand site and the main illustration on the right.
  • Audience focus on about 5 years old children
  Therefore the story need to be simple and easy. Trying to creating about up to 5 sentence per page but need catch the main concept about the story.
  • Pages brief: 
    • P1: Get really to go! Brownie having his backpack on and says: I'm going out! (Background @ home)
    • P2: on the way or something
    • P3: Meet a postman and the post man gives a mail of Brownie's friend. Brownie loves to help t delivery it.
    • P4:Delivery the mail to his friend. Friend says something like "you are brave, it's too dangers outside, you should just stay at home"
    • P5: Brownie thinking about a park that he used to go with Dad and Mom. Now he try to remind the way and go.
    • P6: Meet doggy and kitty @ park
    • P7: Helping the lost little piggy find his mom
    • P8: Brownie miss mom,too. Going home and try to help mom buy milk and bread.
    • P9: @ Shop
    • P10: Back to home give a hug with mom.
  • The way in presenting:  
   Couples hard copies - finding out  the way in bonding it. Use a nice hard paper as the cover.
   Video show: make every pages into a video and play like a movie.
   Screen show on the wall: Need to talk with Peter.


Reference research:

** Creating a Children's Book by Scott Nelson and Son **

** Illustration Techniques in photoshop **
  (This is a very long video, the illustrator tutoring from the time at 20:00 )

** Drawing Characters - the 3 little gators **
(This is one of the best tutor for me because he also showing the brief ideas at very beginning and also what sort of picture that he research from. the way he try to make out his characters is also make me feel interesting. He break down everything of the character that his imagination like just a eyes, nose, hair or ears that his trying to design with. and also try to design his own character animal with human personality.  This is a very good example and tutoring for me)


As more as research I did as much technique I can get, and this is giving me a good start and also a better present on my own designing style.
