This week I did my investigation on title screens and loading screens in video games. Although I have already done this in the past, I felt like the research that I did months ago did not match the aesthetic that I was aiming to go for. Now that I have already worked on two title screens, I hope that this last one of the year will turn out the way that I want it to. 

Specifically, I wanted to focus on the games that inspired my project, which are animal restaurant and animal crossing. To start off, I began by researching the title screen and loading screens that animal crossing has. As shown below, the loading screens for animal crossing are very simplistic but not too bland, which is something that I find satisfying.









Next, I went on to search up images of animal crossing's title screen. I like how the title of the game has a wooden background behind it because I think it pairs perfectly with the aesthetic of the game. I love this style of display and will incorporate it into my video.











Since my video is going to be a dress up game, I also wanted to get an idea of how I want to design my catalog. Below is a picture of an item shop from animal restaurant, which I will take inspiration from to create my own catalog. Instead of having furniture, I will have different tabs at the top to display each clothing piece that the characters can try on.

  After going through the Themes in Art pdf, the theme that I'm going to explore and focus on this year is going to be the concept of Art and Fantasy. I chose this theme because I believe that there are many different ways that you can display fantasy through videos because of how broad and diverse of a genre that it is. A couple of examples being an individual vs society, man vs nature, good vs evil, etc. Another reason why I’m choosing the topic of fantasy is because it is one of my favorite genres of films to watch, from Studio Ghibli classics to folktales and traditional motifs. Fantasy is a super limitless topic and you can create basically anything out of it with your imagination. I’ve had an interest in digital art ever since the start of middle school, and I’ve had a lot of experience from graphic designing to video editing. This was also around the same time when I discovered fandoms on Instagram that created fan edits out of anime and kpop. Watching these videos inspired ...

Since I finished my Five Nights at Freddy's inspired video, I have decided to move on to a different project. However, due to the amount of time that we have left in the school year, I want to work on something small and simple. Whenever brainstorming for ideas, I thought of doing a "customize your character" where I would draw a character and make it seem like someone is changing their appearance and outfits. This is usually what people do when they start a new game that requires them to customize their personal character. An example of it would look something like this. However, I would obviously put my own twist and style on it. The art  style that I want to use will also be inspired by the mobile game called "Animal Restaurant." The appearance of the art style looks very simple and clean, which is exactly what I want to go for when drawing my character. At the beginning, I will also include a title screen just like my other previous projects to make it seem ...

Investigation: Pixel art is a form of digital art where images are created on a pixel level. The aesthetic for these kinds of art come from 8-bit and 16-bit video games. An example of a pixel art would be this picture: Instead of having round edges, the image looks like it is created by using small squares. To incorporate pixel art into my video, I want to create pixelated objects on photoshop to use in my video. To do the is, I have found a few youtube videos that will guide me through the process. Work Log:  Monday: I had trouble exporting my image as a png from photoshop because when I resized the image, it decreased the resolution of my pixel art. Tuesday: I found a fix to my problem from Tuesday and successfully exported my image. I then went on youtube to find some video game sound effects and came across this video. It has a lot of different 8-bit gaming sounds that I can use in my video. Wednesday: I worked on my video in after effects Thursday: I worked on my video in afte...
