I made up another loose newsprint sketchbook, read back through the original text, and started brainstorming. For me, brainstorming is as much about the words as it is about the pictures. I will include a flip through or something similar once my notebook is full.
Jamie suggested office paraphernalia being the trigger image, and I loved it. Specifically, business cards. I had already had the idea for the Guardian Angel Form from my creative writing to be the trigger image, or something on a clipboard.
I had been really excited since I saw the app’s functionality to see if I could create entire scenes with the planes. This in mind, I threw together a table jpeg and some transparent chairs, and also hastily animated some bubbling lava behind a window, threw it into premier pro, paced it properly so it looped over about 15 seconds. I then downloaded some elevator music (from blues brothers, it’s important you know) and some “people screaming” sound effects. I love the juxtaposition between the clean office and the quiet screams. Do note that they get louder as the lava hits. It’s the little things.
This is a proof of concept illustration – I threw it all together just to see if I could. I LOVE how it turned out, though. It’s almost exactly how I saw it in my head. And I must say, I’m pretty pleased with myself to be using the software to create rooms and furniture, not just images.
Oh, evidencing problem solving!
Here is the trigger image, a business card.
This was the third design – the first two had low recognisabilities and didn’t load the content. That’s why the design is less than perfect – I needed it to work first and foremost. How do you like the name?
