I can now sleep at night

Ahh (a sigh of relief). A couple of weeks of stressing and I finally have an idea for my motion graphics project. As Robin mentioned, the pressure of being face-to-face with the teacher again has possible prompted me to articulate an idea more substantially than if we were given two more weeks off. I formulated my ida this morning, but was unsure of whether it would be good enough, knowing what Robin (Dr Robin, if I was a Doctor I would want everyone calling me Doctor) would possibly say. Obviously I LOVE my pin-up art, and reading the suggestions on the brief, I noticed the one mentioning 'What are design processes'. I decide it might be interesting to do my project revolving around the design process that I personally undertake to do my hobby. Running this by Dr. Robin, he did mention the fact that he would normally be encouraging me away from my hobby, as I thought he might say, but that in doing this project I wasnt actually doing the art, I was infact doing the design process and by studying that process in-depth, I could learn and improve upon my own process. Am very glad I have something to start working on. Have made some notes:
It all starts with an idea, it could possibly start with a client, however, all my work so far has been for me. My idea might be to communicate an emotion or feeling through an image, often it is just eye candy for eye candy's sake, but sometimes I am trying to communicate a certain idea.
Research is then undertaken, study of how other artists may have executed the same idea, rough sketches, photographing the model (the younger sister who can sometimes be a helpful model) or gathering various other photos to base the image on, including scenery ideas.
more sketches then the final line drawing is exectued, scanned, then the photoshop touches which invovle colour, effects, and other techniques.
The finished peice can be used in many ways, hardcopy, web page, desktop etc.

Obviously the end result of the project has to be made in flash. I want to use imported photos, bitmap screenshots of the different stages, vector flash drawings and animation to help visualise the procedure. I want text, but not too much, I want it to be primarily a visual story of the process.

Back to work.
