Project One: Redesigning a RTS App Game’s UI

In this project, we chose a real time strategy app game and redesigned the user interface. I chose the game Galaxy Life: Pocket Adventures.

The Final Redesigned UI

Project Two: 30 Second Commercial

In this project, we were tasked with coming up with an idea of a 30 second commercial. The brainstorm group I was in chose to do a commercial for “Hero Cough Drops.”

Color Key: Colored Image of a “Key” Moment in the Storyboard

Project Three: Animated Concept Painting

For this project, we were to come up with a story idea to create an animated production painting for.

My story is about a guy who is murdered by a monstrous being but wakes up again in his own grave. He must find a way to live with whatever the monster has made him into.

The rough sketches of characters I did were to get an idea of the style I wanted to go with for my concept painting.

This is the rough sketch and paint I did while deciding on the color palette and mood of the piece.

Final Concept Painting

The concept painting I created intends to capture the absolute terror and panic experienced by my main character as he crawls out of his grave.
