avatar complete

This is my avatar, the design was based among several things, my clothing style, my accessories and my logo that I designed.

the face is primarily the logo's face just without the crossbones.

the outfit hes wearing is something that I would usually wear and I think it quite resembles me, the cigarette in the mouth, the stretched ears with the red plugs, the jacket, skinny jeans and pumps.

only differnce is the face obviously, but even the idea of it was taken from an anime series I talk about often.

the only thing left is for me to give it some movements which will happen shortly

box designs

Here you see the drafts of ideas i came up with for the box.

There is the idea of a ship wreck, all the treasures get washed ashore, and thats the objects you can click on for the interaction to lead on to my work.

The next idea was a plane flying in the sky, the comopany logo would be the logo I design and the objects to click on would be the passenger windows which would disply different items relevant to what it leads to.

The next idea was for a seed to grow into a tree, and the fruits of the tree will be the objects to click on.

At first I thought it will have to be the first 2 ideas because I couldnt think of a way to link my logo to the latter, but then I decided to have the logo as the logo for the seed packet which now works really well.

I like trees and the ocean anyway, and in this design I could link them both together which I'm very happy about. its also got the cartoon feeling i aim for too.

so far i have used a TV and a hanging person as objects, as well as the logo on the tree. these might still change, I'm sure as of yet though.

will update if anything changes

curiosity box completed, avatar also completed

the box has finally been completed on flash, didnt take too long to make, it was the design process that took longest i thought.

had alot of decision making for it, and also changing my mind after having started on an idea already etc.

i did lots of brief drawings in my sketch book before working on them on software. i feel that it helps me get a feel of the idea better if i draw it out before hand.

also my avatar have also been finished...ish, its not animated et but the sculpting of it is done so hopefully it wont be too long till it is all walking and running etc.

will post the drafts for my designs up very soon
