Minor: Art Of Page Tests

Putting together my Art Of for my project is abit of a challenge for me as when I try to plan out the pages I can't seem to make them look nice. I also seem to have trouble with trying to get across the feel and art style of my project even when I'm using the simplest of styles.

For each chapter of my Art Of I am going to use a title page. As shown below I have used borders that relate back to the colours of the characters as well as using the a faint wood texture with the text in the middle.



The pages that I seem to be having the most trouble with are the ones that show the designing process that I went through for the characters. I seem to find it difficult planing out the pages so that the images are not squashed as well as not being overloading the pages. Below are some tests that I have done.

    a couple of observations... if you're going to use 'lower case' text, then make sure everything is lower case so 'the characters' not 'the Characters'... I think it would be better if you separated out those progressive drawings - so make one double-page spread about just the king's crown - then dedicate another double-page spread to the cloak, but keep them in a row etc. Likewise, I don't think the floating square of characters' faces is helping those top pages in terms of design?

    Ok, I'll try to spread them out more and see what it looks like.

    As for the text that's just the way that the font writes. It is a upper case T at the beginning but the font style makes it look like a lower case.

Film Review - 2001: A Space Odyssey

Image
Fig 1. 2001: A Space Odyssey Poster (1968) 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) is one of the many classics brought to life by Stanley Kubrick. The film stands out in the world of cinema nowadays for the way it was produced but at the time of its release it didn’t receive that many good reviews from the critics, however, it inspired future film makers such as Steven Spielberg and Ridley Scott. Like with most of his films Kubrick frames or centres most of the shots using the rule of thirds a technique that he learned from his days as a photojournalist for Look magazine. As shown in Fig 2 the rule of thirds involves placing a 3x3 grid over the image and lining up the key subjects within it so that everything is not cluttered on one side, in Kubrick’s case he places key subjects in the middle of the grid with other subjects on both sides of it so that the audience’s eye is drawn to what is being shown in the middle. As show in the example Dave Bowman and Frank Poole are on ever

Film Review: Kung Fu Panda - Act Structure

Image
Kung Fu Panda (2008) directed by John Stevenson and Mark Osborne can be broken down in to the different acts that take place. Sometimes it can be broken down in to a 3 act stuctre or a 5 act stuctre but ever way they both have the same points that happen in the story that introduct the characters, show us what problems they have to face that lead up to the big cilmax before everything is goes back to the way that it was at the begining. Below is how I have broken down Kung Fu Panda using the 5 act stuctre along with working out the plot and ending type of the film. The 5 Act Stuctre shown with Freytag's Pyramid The plot of the film is similar to a Arc Plot. Po changes as the story goes on and the characters around him also change. This means that when one thing happens it will affect what happens next or start the next sturcture. I see the ending of Kung Fu Panda as being a Partial Ending as the story has ended but we get the feeling that this is not the end of Po and

@Simon - Mesh Mishap

I can't unfold the mesh. :( I've done everything in the video but for some reason this won't work. The error at the bottom says: "Mesh has non-manifold edges. Clean up the mesh before using unfold." and I don't understand what it means.
