Child Safety Project - Design And Colour

Teddy Design

Inspiration and reference images

A member of the group used these images to reference his character design.

He then further developed it into this image.

As a group we then tried different colour combinations to see which worked best for our animation and audience.

We chose this colour design because it has both complimentary and contrasting colours with the house backgrounds in the red book.

Watercolour Tests

Referencing the colours from the house in the red book I did some watercolour tests.

I then applied these colour tests digitally into a scene.

I think the more pale, neutral colours work best as they compliment the character but also don't distract away.

Having paler tones also sets a more calming mood for the audience to view.

I also think that if I scan the watercolour images in to use as backgrounds would visually look better than digital ones as they can be more of a wash of colour rather than quite vibrant, which the digital ones seem to show.
