Nearly there . . .

I just need to fix up the little things. Something unfortunate is that one of my "inspirational" photos I cant use - and it was the most important one, because the site I got the pictures from is a site with mostly free images, however, some, such as this particular one you need to send a request to the photographer for permission to use the image. I sent a request, like, two weeks ago but he never got back to me so I'll have to dump that particular photos from the project. But that's OK. The others are still reprasentative of inspired images.



I wrote a design rationale last night, not sure if it's right though:

This motion graphics project was designed to show the process that I personally undertake when designing and creating a pin-up picture. The idea was to make a brief section about the concepts involved before the picture is figured out, then the initial sketches. I always had the idea of a hand with a pencil tracing the shapes of the sketches, with a mask revealing it as the hand moves across it, as though it is actually drawing it. Then the image gets scanned and become digital. Screenshots taken progressively throughout the creation of the digital image help to show different stages, with accompanying text that details the Photoshop elements being used. It is just a brief overview following the progress of one specific drawing, which I created purely for the purpose of this project so that I could pay close attention to the details involved as I went along.

We'll show Robin and see what he thinks.
Better get back to it.
