This week I have managed to complete all needed context and research into my character design and icon design. Having this completed means that I am on step further to starting my practical and finishing off my other pieces of research and context.
This research has allowed me to not only redefine my idea but to help me structure it in such a way that when it comes to the practical side of my project, I way be able to drive straight in with these laid out guidelines. The work I completed on context allowed me to find the design style in which my audience expects from me which is to create somewhat cartoon like characters that allow me to express personality and alignment with each choice of their design. The same went for icons in which I was able to gain feedback allowing me to follow a route that allowed me to use more creative skills to create, further pushing this point of creating the most for my characters to give them life. After finding style I wrapped the week up with two major blogs, idea development and colour research. The idea development blog acts as a checkpoint allowing me to show my ‘at the time’ plan which is able to show to viewers my progression and the path I took to get there. The colour blog then allowed me to further this design research and has prepared me to be able to create a product that my audience expects from me.
Next week I intend to gain my colour feedback which will wrap up my character and icon design research allowing me to start my Geographical and Wix Website research. These are much shorter endeavours and we only take me the entire week to complete if everything goes according to plan, therefore allowing me to start on my practical as soon as possible.
