imma offer a lil doodle and something extra (if i manage) later with cedar/ serafín cause ultimately thats what most people are here for i think-

but ive been working on some concept art for an assignment and im really happy with it, so i wanted to share some stuff ive done for it so far : D

as some context:

theres a storytelling module as part of my animation course, and we need to make a pitch deck for an animation idea. we were also asked to pick a social issue for this-

so, i chose the idea of romance being seen as inherently 'more' or a 'step above' friendship/ platonic relations! this is an aromantic story about a man who wants to find a meaningful connection in a world that heavily values romance. however, he himself is uncomfortable with romance and so feels like 'the odd one out', until he meets someone else whos also alone and gains the courage to talk to her, not realising how similar they are : 3

its meant to be a sweet story emphasising that friendship is its own unique relationship outside of romance, without putting either type of relationship down. and although its still uni work in the end, ive been really happy and excited about this project!

i might try to make a carrd or strawpage or something for it- cause i need to make a powerpoint pitchdeck, but id love to be able to show off the idea in a better way too (especially for portfolio stuff-)

if youve read this far and want to (absolutely no pressure, especially cause there isnt much info here), id love to get more input from people here- so, if youre willing to leave your thoughts, what do you think about the colours? cause i keep being told theyre fine, but im super doubtful about that- im not sure if the bg colours are too dark in some parts, but i want to try and keep a decent amount of contrast too so it doesnt get 'muddy'- do you think they actually work? or do you think i should try and lighten some of the colours? that and the colours for the main characters!!! i wanted them to specifically be the colours of the aromantic flag (with small specks of green), but i dont want the ending to be too obvious...the whole idea is that Coworker (one in the hat) hides the green on her behind her glasses and she reveals her eyes at the end of the story, but im not sure if her being grey makes that too obvious or if it could be interpreted as 'oh shes alone like Protag'.... ive tried messing around with yellow but i feel like she blends in too much with the bg, i cant find the right value...unless thats a me problem-

i dunno, if youre willing to leave your thoughts please do! id be happy to look at them and try stuff!

thank you for listening to my lil ramble though if youve read this far : 3

ITS DONE

PITCH

THE ARROWS PITCH DECK IS COMPLETE!!!!

this includes: . the pitch itself . my intentions and reasons behind choices . my dev log (from the day the idea was created to when i finished up the last thing for my assignment! because i havent done anything since-) . behind the scenes stuff! rough sketches, process stuff, initial colour concepts etc

ill give a warning now, youre not able to adjust anything for mobile view on canva, and the 'resize for mobile' option just messes everything up- so i had to switch that off, which means if youre looking at it on mobile you may need to zoom in/ out a lot- and i sincerely apologise for this ._.

im most confident with canva when it comes to website stuff, cause its the only thing ive been able to successfully use without too much confusion- HOWEVER, if i get more confident with another website, i may move everything there just so everythings nicer and more professional and all (and ill hopefully be able to fix the mobile issue too-)

other than that though, feel free to check it out and leave any comments! im putting this project on hold for now, but id love to get some feedback so i can look into them when i do get back to this!!! cause if i am making this my final year uni project (which im currently very tempted to), i want to get it as perfect as i can : 3

thank you, and i hope youre having a lovely day/ night : D
