Assignment6- storyboard

This time, the theme is storyboards. I know what a storyboard is, but I don't have much experience drawing them. So, I first went to Pinterest to see how storyboards are done in different works. So, I went to Pinterest to check how storyboards are done in different works.

After getting a handle on storyboards, I started thinking about what kind of storyboard I wanted to create.

After some thought, I decided to use the theme and characters of Assignment 2 - Rebirth to create a storyboard for the beginning of the game. I originally wanted to continue the worldview of Assignment 2 - Rebirth since I have many more ideas for this theme that I want to express.

After picking a theme and figuring out the storyboard, I checked out some game openings on YouTube to get ideas. After watching a bunch, I noticed that the more impressive game openings share a few key elements:

High interactivity: Players can take control of the game character right from the beginning, becoming part of the game-opening experience.

Complete transitions in a short time: The game opening balances telling a story and keeping things concise.

A game opening needs to consider the player's time and should not be too long. Players usually look forward to starting the game quickly, so a lengthy opening might cause them to lose patience and concentration.

The challenge is How you quickly immerse the player into the game world while telling a story with a complete sequence of events? That’s one of the most important objectives to achieve at the start of a game.

When I started working on the storyboard for Rebirth, I used the simplest way to quickly sketch out the story and images I wanted to convey. Then, I drew the final version based on that draft.

This is a storyboard about a dead person who wakes up in the world between the dead and the reborn. He's unsure where he is, but white lines spread out on the ground as the protagonist takes his first step. The protagonist follows the lead of the white lines and keeps running forward.

On the way, he keeps seeing his look-alike shouting at him: "Why don't you choose me?" "Are you sure this is good enough?"

The monsters chase the main character to a cliff, and he falls onto a platform in the air. When the main character wakes up, the white line is gone, but the main character is still guided by the only path before him.

At the end of this journey, the main character encounters the god of rebirth in this world. The main character remembers everything he's done during their interaction—good and evil. As these memories overwhelm him and he begins to pass out, the god of rebirth pulls him into the pool of rebirth and helps him to be reborn.

Honestly, I made this work mainly because I've always been self-critical and not confident in my personal growth., much like the monsters the main character faces as he evolves. I didn't become a different version of myself in a different time and space; I think they're all better versions of me. They're always telling me:

"Why don't you try harder?"

"Why can't you do anything right?"

"That's why I didn't show up in that reality!"

The white line the main character encounters on the ground represents the timeline. The timeline that becomes reality is the thickest, while the timelines that don't are tiny and faint.

The god of rebirth that the main character encounters at the end serves as an entity that forces him to confront his past mistakes. At the brink of mental collapse, this being grants the main character a chance to become human again, offering him a fresh start.

Typography Experimentation

Which one is better?

I thought that writing the dream job as disconnected letters can deliver the meaning that the baker was not able to complete his dream and work his dream job; however, Arabic is usually written in connected letters to be easily understood. So what do you think?

Lecture #7: Levels of Order: Regular & Modular Grid

Concepts for Order: (de)Centrality, (de)concentration, Growth Direction

Assignment #6 : Order 

For this task, we were asked to use four 21cmx21cm sketch papers. We used one of these sketch papers as a grid and created the lowest level order. We created different sketches on the second and third sketch papers using different geometric shapes. I chose to use triangles in my second sketch and circles in my third sketch. The fourth sketch paper contains the sketch formed by the overlapping of these three sketch papers.

Later, I scanned the parts that I relate to each other and want to be bold in the image on this fourth sketch paper. In my final composition, I clarified the composition formed in the fourth sketch by using black, white, and red cardboard.

While I am creating my composition, I tried to pay attention frame of reference and Gestalt principles.

Feedback: Assignment 6 & 7

Project 6

"This feels like a nice point to reconnect with drawing and simply being creative"

I have stopped just being creative in this simple way but I would like to go back and just draw and see what happens. I cannot be denied that I want to do it with purpose not just as an exercise.

You mention that it is interesting to think about the lives of these unknown people, and I think that as you were playing with image and text this would have been a good opportunity to flesh out some possible narratives to go with them

This seems like a light and fun idea while embroidering the other project. I work better when I do several things at the same time. I do not mean multitasking (it does not work) but working on two projects can help me to break the monotony and enrich the work.

Project 7

It is important that you question why you are using embroidery specifically

I will write an entry for this but I think it is a combination of factors, some are not just related to the project in hand but a way to find my voice.

Your financial freedom illustration ideas are most promising,

I am happy that you think that because I love the idea. I am thinking of using only ink and starting a sketchbook just for this idea. Perhaps trying to work a subtle idea...

Overall, considering that this part encouraged you to seek feedback from your peers and work for an audience, there isn’t a great deal of evidence of this happening.

I agree but I have failed time and time again to show my work to people... I am not sure how to do it.

Feminism and Embroidery

The Feminist Power of Embroidery by Kim

This article was interesting because of the personal perspective. How Kim's family did embroidery and the meaning that carried for her. Also, how thought many cultures Embroidery represent what happens at the closed door, the inner life of women.

Hmong Story Cloth

This is an overview of a tradition in the Hmong people where important political events were immortalised by embroidery.

This piece of embroidery shows a historical event that Hmong people when through during the Vietnam war.

La Reivindicacion de genero, el bordado y el rol en la sociedad (gender rights, embroidery and its role in society) by Nelly Toche

In the interview, the artist talks about her project where she explores the idea of bringing embroidery to men. This is not new, there have been other communal projects with this idea but it is interesting to see how Saavedra explore and elaborate this in her work.

In her statement, she establishes that her work is a critique of the gender roles, the masculinity domination that has made women be confined to these (home) spaces, also the lack of recognition. (translated by me poorly)

Reflexionan con bordados sobre nuevas masculinidades (Using embroidery to reflect on new undertandings of masculinity)

The main topic of this community work was to explore the role of men in a different society where gender roles are rigidly defined.

I think this was an interesting idea but I do not think they were able to explore this in deep. it is important to create an alternative to toxic masculinity and safe spaces for new alternatives that allow men to express themselves in positives ways.
