Homework

Shelby: Developed book/layout designs

Adding in yellow tones. Being conscious about how they will look on a phone in a landscape format.






Bobbie drew up the line work for the cover before colouring to make sure the group was happy with the composition.  
Then I added colour to the image for class the next week to get feedback

Week 2

Lecture : A picture says a thousand words - how to structure the cover

Today we mainly focused on how we might create our cover page for the Pitch Bible. We started by having a discussion around the ideas then sketching them out and analysing the way it may be read and the shapes it creates.

Feedback:

Harry decided that the books were too insignificant looking and that if they were horizontal they may look more sizeable. This would also fit the design better onto a phone screen.

Other feedback was that the typewriter didn't really make sense as a notebook would be written in by hand.

Harry said that what was create was exactly what he asked for but decided that it wasn't communicating like he had hoped.


Homework

For homework we decided the best way to approach the devision of our work was to play to our strengths.

Shelby focused on the bookwork, clipboard, map and design layout of that.

The initial designs:






Bobbie focused on the characters, with various sketches and more refined portraits.

Week 1

Lecture 1: Introduction to the Pitch Bible Formula
We met with our client Harry who presented us to his game concept for Triage.

We went through the brief and some of the imagery that could be used to inspire the visual development of this game. 

We separated the main characters into 3 that were: 

Surgeon Major Thadeus Cornwall (The Player): An experienced civillian surgeon from New York City, Thadeus joined the Army Medical Corps at the onset of hostilities. He's now tasked not only with performing surgery on a daily basis, but also wrangling the gaggle of barely qualified doctors and nurses assigned to him. His goal is to lead by example and turn his rag-tag team of medical recruits into the most effective surgical outfit in the civil war.

Nurse Lilly: Your only staff member at the start of the game is your trusted surgical nurse, Nurse Lilly. She has been your long-standing right-hand-woman since your days in New York's operating theatres. Calm and collected under pressure she has helped you through many a complicated procedure when the patients were piling up and the supplies were running low.

Mrs. Beatrice Cornwall: When you left you sent your wife to stay with your parents in upstate New York for the duration of the war. Beatrice is a city girl through and through, and without the many distractions of New York city, she is becoming increasingly despondent and impatient. She often writes letters lamenting her boredom, loneliness, and isolation. Or complaining of your parent's strict dealings with the children and tightness with money.

These 3 characters will be the main focus for this week as a starting point in developing our visuals.

Some visual reference and inspiration imagery we have collected:
