Illustration and Visual Narrative

Exercise



After all these exercises , it was time for us to begin designing our final character and then producing it into a Pokemon card and whatever product of our choice.I decided to start fresh and create a new character, the one thing I had in mind when creating it was that I wanted it to be furry.Here's the final character, I named it Ollie.

Next I swatched Ollie with different colours. I had three samples in total.

Final Colour



After the character design, we were also told to design a background for our character. So I decided to make a mountain background for it as it suits my character.

Production 

16/4/2018 ( Week 4)

This week, the whole class went to Fab space in Lot 10 where we produced our desired product. There were many variations such as embroidery, laser cut, uv printing and more. I chose to do the uv printing on acrylic. This was the outcome, I wasn't very happy with it because the colour was washed out and it was hard to see the colour due to the transparency.



The First Printing Outcome


After this, I decided to reprint on another day. Me and my friends came a few days later to reprint our characters together with the background. This time we decided to print against a white background so that the colours wouldn't be so washed out.The outcome was definitely more solid looking but the colours were different from the colours on our laptops, then a kind worker there explained that it was because of our colour format which was RGB.But nevertheless I was quite happy with the outcome as it. looked more solid now compared to the previous one.


The Second Printing Outcome 


Next we had to print our Pokemon card , we were allowed to use the Pokemon template for the card. I gave Ollie rock powers and actually had to google search some rock type attacks for it. I also added a short description on the power in the card.Here's the final outcome of the card.
