Week 7 - Designing Props - Mar 3, 2020
Mid Term Size Comps -
Designing Props -
Your assignment from last week was to design 5 props for your "hero character" and compose them in a layout of 11" x 17" or 8.5" x 11", vertical or horizontal.
Use at least one of each of the basic shapes of design: circle, square and triangle to create props that reflect the backstory or personality of your character.
Do not design a weapon, that is a separate assignment.
This composition is of everyday, personal items your character would carry daily or use frequently from this time period (1890). A good example would be a pipe, pocket watch, flask, walking stick, umbrella, ink pen, wallet, embroidered handkerchief, spectacles, magnifying glass, note book, morphene bottle and syringe, doctor's tool kit, delivery bag, etc.
Your layout should be a representation of your main character's personality and exhibit a bit of his/her personal history or vices. Use the positive shapes and negative spaces to design an appealing layout incorporating the Rule of Thirds or Triangle format.
The final image should be black & while. You are free to add one accent color, but not more than one additional color.
Ideas move fast in this industry.. here is a perfect example:
Tesla Force on STEAM -
STEAM - Tesla Force
Tesla vs Lovecraft on STEAM -

Next weeks assignment:
Design your Main Character's portrait using the proportion and clone stamp techniques from the Caricature exercise. The portrait should be large and include details in the face like nostrils, eye bags, lips, eyebrows, wrinkles, etc. Make the head shape planar and develop flat surfaces on the structure to take light and shadow.
See the example for reference:
Simplify the treatment of the hair beards and mustaches. Do not draw individual stands of hair, rather imply by drawing stands in the half light and shadow of the form.
Push the significant characteristics of the face to develop a caricature. Don't push all of the features, just pick one or two and make them large or small on the face, See the examples of noses and beards below for the level of stylization:
