Module 5 Part 2: Storyboard

I used Storyboardthat.com to create this story board. I have painted the scenes a little differently, but don't think the difference of storyboard verses final will be problematic. 

Module 5: Final Project Sketches

The Escape

The Journey of The Chosen One

My final will be an animation trailer of the story I about my character, Kaphrus. Using Illustrator, Photoshop, and Flash I will bring this trailer to life. 

This trailer will showcase a segment of what Kaphrus endures. Since I won't have verbal lines and a voice over, I plan on adding slides of lines that would be in the book, and possibly said in a movie version.

 I will have a dungeon setting and open forest setting which makes up part of the plot and the bulk of the work. 

Module 4: Kaphrus final

I will not be submitting this into the competition.

Using Photoshop, a little bit of Illustrator, and Flash, I created this image. I imported my hand drawn sketch and worked in layers to create this final image. My goals were to create a female heroic image mixed with advanced technology.  I made the title animated because I am thinking about the future and how book covers may be digital one day. My idea is a cross between the digital photo frames that are presently out, and Harry Potter's idea of the animated newspapers and posters. 

I never like to do backgrounds for my pieces. I just don't have that type of talent. I kept the background simple.

Typography is not my strongest, but I like the chosen font. It is strong and fantasy like. I chose the traditional position of the title at the top and the author name at the bottom. I purposely made the 'authors' name a non focal point because I did not want to come across as an 'author'. If this were a clients book I was designing the author's name would stand out and be bigger. The color choice could have been different, I see that now. 

Here is a still:
