Compositions.

I came out with 4 different compositions but I think I will go with the bottom left. I think it is essential to make the shrimps big as the idioms is about shrimps behind stones/rocks anyway. 

I want to put some corals so the scene not going to look so empty.  Corals are so beautiful and colourful and have different textures and shapes.

right : my drawings.

I bought an a3 sketchbook just for studio brief 2. I just found that having a bigger sketchbook is better because it is big and I can draw as big as I wanted. I used to love a5 sketchbook but not anymore. Now I prefer A4 or A3. I wish I found about this sooner. 

Idiom 1.

Idiom : Ada Udang Disebalik Batu (There are shrimps behind stones)
Meaning : Mempunyai maksud tersembunyi yang tidak ditampakkan (There is a secret meaning behind an act)

I start of drawing some shrimps. I do not know how to draw one. So below are my refetene images.

Slowly I build my confidence to draw prawn. I was not hard well it was hard at first but I managed to drew good prawns. 

First 5 second

Fruit test from zatul fakharuldin on Vimeo.


I've done the first 5 seconds of the animation. Then I accidentally when back to the brief (click here for the brief's website), then I realised that, I need to make the title 'Delicious' but I've done 'Fruit' as my title. Perhaps, I can change it to 'Delicious : Fruit'.

I already book the voice record studio to record some voices saying 'fruit'. I am still not sure whose voice to use yet. I probably need around 4 people to say 'fruit' and another one main voice for the rest of the animation.

I need to look at a music that is suitable for this animation too.

I am so tempted to make the title jumping about and to make the yellow rectangle to a cloud shape.

Opening animation.

The title of this animation will be 'Fruits'. I will have a pattern of collage fruits at the beginning and the word 'Fruits' will appear. 

 Image bellows are collages that I created.

I love the colours = colourful = suitable with my target audience. I probably not going to use all of the fruits as some of them are not good enough. 

Animation time !

Idea for my animation.

My idea for animation is to promote fruits to 3-5 years old. I pick fruit because I don't want to promote any other junk food for children as junk food are not good for them.

In my animation, I will promote:-

1. Fruit is delicious

2. Good for your body. They give you energy, vitamins, stronger and make you healthier.

3. Creates a lot of recipes such as fruit popsicles, fruit salad and juice.

Motion Graphic Research.

 



These three motion graphics are amazing and have opened my eyes to make my animation ever better than ever.

• White or a light dull colour background will make the information on the animation stand out 
• Text coming out from the sides or top or bottom will make the animation more interesting and unique
• 'Animation by', and 'music by' at the end of the animation
• Pick the right music.
• Add some texture will add more depth.
• Changing the background by adding another solid layer from the side or top.

Brief 3 : TigerCreate Adventure Book Competition 2015/16

Brief 2 : An editorial illustration per week.

Proposed

These are some possible items that my illustrations can be printed on. For example t-shits, tote bags and greetings card.

I am considering on selling the greetings card on the end of year show art market in June.

Printed designs

These are my Thought Bubble printed designs.

List of Items

Images above are list of items that I am selling at the festival and on the very left corner are items that sold at the festival. I made £170 which is good and covered my table and my printing/material cost.

My table cost is £45. 

Printing/materials : £25.90

Texi/bus: £10

Total : £80.90

£170 - £80.90 = £89.91

Profit : £89.91

Printing cost.

Early this week, I printed some print from the digital print room and it costed me £9 (Using their paper). After I had a long thought, I decided to use a similar type of paper that the library have which I believe that will reduce my printing cost.

£9 using their own paper
Christmas card : 4 A4
Cats : 4 A4
Cat fish : 4 A4

£10 using my own paper 
(paper cost (20 A3 card) : £2.40) = 20p per A4 or 50p per A3

Fox : 2 A4
Spongebob : 2A4
Adventure time : 10A4
Spongebob : 6A4
Cat fishes :6 A4
Cat only : 6 A4

Cat postcard : 1 A3
Rain and Thank you For Everything : 3 A4
Spongebob postcard : 3 A4
Adventure time : 3 A4

Christmas Card : 4 A4

So yeah, brining my own paper for digital print is more cheaper.

Need to bind all these before Saturday. Let's do this !

The making of Squidward

I want to make a Squidward head for my 'Spongebob' theme pattern. I tried to illustrate the head but it look wrong. So I might find another drawing of him on my sketchbook. I am so tempted to watch Back to The Future 2, but I need to finish off the head first !

From the original sketch, Squidward is smiling, but after having a feedback from a peers, I changed its expression to 'unhappy' as Squidward is always unhappy. 

My peers suggested me that ' If you want to do an artwork for a tv show, you need to learn about characters' personality'.
