Final Project complete!

This week, in the final stretch towards the deadline I finally completed my Instagram story profile. I have created a new, separate profile in order to showcase my work clearly. I feel it has came out great though, It was very difficult to upload and distribute onto Instagram.

One error was of my own, I originally created all of my work in 4k Resolution in order to push for the best quality possible. I had no problems while creating the piece, though all of the problems came when trying to upload it.

It seems Instagram does not accept 4K photography and was constantly giving me black boxes rather than my images. Also I had major trouble distributing my images onto my mobile device itself. Because of the size of the images, it was causing the same black box issue with my phone. I’ve learnt that it’s best to keep at the consumer standard of image quality as this was a major difficulty with my project.

Above is the weblink to my project, though it is better presented on a handheld device rather than computer.

Panels Completed

I have created all of my panels for my piece and I am now ready to move onto adding my characters. I decided to make the backgrounds first as I feel it is. lot easier to focus on the two separately. This also helps me gain correct lighting and I can also decide whether my characters can interact with the scene correctly also.

I have tried to name the panels in conjunction with the order they will be used in for when I upload them to Instagram.

 

 

Final Piece update

From converting to Illustrator for my backgrounds, I’ve been making fantastic process! I feel a lot more comfortable and a lot more happy with how my outcomes for this project are coming along. I feel the panels are showing my initial vision for this project with great effect.

Below is a video of my work process, I have found that utilising the dartboards in Illustrator have made my panels a lot easier to make. By using them I can only export anything that is in the 1×1 square and can cut off any unwanted excess from my designs.

I also import the previous panel so I can directly link the next image to the last to gain a continuous flow for my work.
