Does the end product match your original intentions?
The end product is nothing like my original intentions, the only real similarity is the main character and almost everything is different from my original plan, although the target audience is still the same.
Is the end product appropriate for your intended audience?
The end product is still appropriate for my intended audience, I intended it be aimed at teens, mainly males but it would also suit some younger people again mostly male.
Discuss the technical aspects of your work and highlight the strengths/areas to develop.
Technically my work is quite basic; I scanned my drawings into Photoshop, used a graphics tablet to line and colour each panel, I used a gradient to fill the background for each page. Using custom shapes and the line tool I created the arrows and red boarders respectively. I used the film grain filter for the frames on the first page, in my opinion strong points, was my use of the graphic tablet, although the original drawing weren’t that good and was distorted slightly by being scanned in. My weak points that I need to develop are my drawing and my colouring abilities with the graphic tablet.
Discuss the content / style of your work.
My work is laid out in manga panel style just right to left than left to right although the drawing style is very different from manga style, my drawing style is more like an American comic style but it still has its differences, such as the angle of each scene.
If you had the opportunity to make this product again would you do anything different? Are you happy with the overall product?
If I had the opportunity to make the storyboard again I would try to draw it better, I would also try to scan or photograph the drawing better to ensure a better scanned in quality to make sure I get a high quality finished result.
The product does match my original intensions, although I never did my final piece this house model would have been used as a basic building block in the environment for my scene. I would have textured the model before duplicating it repeatedly.
The audience I had intended for my finished product was younger people in general, mostly male though, with the work I have done there is nothing wrong with it that it wouldn’t fit my target audience.
Technically it wasn’t that hard to make, it started with box modelling, using the cut and extrude tool I got the basic shape of the house. Using the same two tools I got the detail work for the windows and doors as well as the wooden framework on the house, I then used the bevel tool on the glass. I think the strengths of my work are my detail work. I think the development I need to do is in the texturing area.
Aesthetically I think it is quite good, it looks quite nice, it would be nice if it was textured properly.
I didn’t have any problems creating the house and as such I was able to manage my time properly and met the deadline, which I am quite pleased about.
I learn from making this that box modelling is probably the easiest form of modelling, skills wise I think I developed further in my modelling skills when I did it, mostly in the detail department.
If I did this again I would attempt to make it more detailed so that it looks better and I would also texture it. I am quite happy with what I made in the end though.
This is my story board of my idea that I was going to do for my final piece of work; I planned on using my house model to make up the streets of the environment.
These drawing are my original concept and the drawing that I would texture to a plane to model the character.
