Regarding the above...


Although I have storyboarded separate elements of my animation within its developments, I have  prepared some new storyboards before I take my animation into AE. These new storyboards demonstrate  in more detail how the animation changes from scene to scene.

Packaging Resolved...

Here it is my final packaging printed and photographed from shut to open.

Regarding the above...


I have presented a pdf showing my final packaging solutions.

Final Layouts for Packaging...

After resolving all the issues with my packaging here are the two separate components that will be fused together the cover with cd sleeve and inner artwork.

This is one side of the inner sleeve both this and the below will be printed double sided when I take them to print.

FINAL IDENTS...

I finally have 4 idents all made from a careful collection of images and photoshop layers. I made my idents all very different and was carful not to stray too far from the feel and movements of previous test animations. As with the end sequence developed previously I wanted my animation to run mechanically communicating the individual characters within the sequence. I would like to think all my Idents achieve this in there individual ways.

To complete these Idents I have also sourced 2 edgar compositions one I had used previously and another both these can be found in my context and separate post.

Regarding the above...


I prepared some screen shots from each ident to demonstrate more clearly the development, each is labeled and presented in a pdf.

End of Idents....

In this post I wanted to clearly show the individual backgrounds to be using towards the end of each Ident. This information will be consistent across all 4.

Below is the layout of the final screen, informing the viewer of the day of broadcast, time and title.

Layers and Arwork for Idents....

After figuring out how my idents will move and all the information they require to communicate. I made up 4 photoshop files that consisted of all the layers, artwork and backgrounds I needed. A lot of this I had already used before. I then scaled these to size labelling each indervidual layer to make the transition to AE as eacy as possible.

Below are some jpg's that demonstrate all the layers I useing within each indervidual Ident...

Regarding the above...


Before I attempted to start my idents, I made a selection of storyboards to demonstrate the stages in their animation. I have presented these in a pdf each separate Ident is apropriately labeled.

Packaging Development...

At this point I have an idea of how I want the artwork to look on my front cover and inside sleeves of my packaging and an idea via my context blog of how the packaging will fold together. So I had a little practice with how it will all come together. I started with a rough mock (above) to work out if it all came together correctly as I initially imagined. 

I then took the artwork I had developed previously and laid this over the correct sized grid. Once I had done this I printed it out rough on a laser printer. This highlighted to me various errors that needed to be addressed to do with type alignment, colour, and arrangement.

Packaging Artwork...

Front cover + inside sleeves.
After referencing in my context how I would like my packaging to work in a sort of LP cd size sleeve accompanied by art work. I started to have a little play with how this might look image wise

I began to play with various elements I already had such as the sun that made up the closing part of my animation along with the type. I also kept very similar colours to the ones I had used throughout my animation I mixture of badge backgrounds and black and white.

I felt however that the type I was using wasn't strong enough some of the individual letters did not line up in the same way they had within the animations. Yet I still liked the typeface and wanted to keep the natural hand drawn effect. To achieve this I traced the letters out (above) and made a new version below, still a rough but a working progress.
