Extended Rationale

Blog Address: a-picariello251887-sp.blogspot.com

Subjects and themes: Design and Visual development
During this module, I want to undertake multiple briefs, designing backgrounds, props and characters. I intend to undertake around 4 - 5 projects and explore aesthetic style, lighting and colour throughout them.

This will be developing my specialist practice by helping me learn more design techniques and concepts and to apply them to projects with different audiences and formats. This will also help me to fill up my portfolio for visual development. I also intend to incorporate movement and examine body language by creating character animation for some of my designs which will help to show my characters and designs how they would look in a game/animation, moving in front of a background and interacting with props.

Some of my briefs will involve working with other people, however I do intend to create some of he stories and concepts myself.
