Week 6
This week I got to keep doing more of the worldbuilding/flavor assets. That means that in addition to doing artwork, I also got to do some writing!
We needed a gossip magazine to talk about Beverly and Alfred’s marriage, so I made a parody of a specific 1950s tabloid for the game. The headline on the top is a reference to our original game prototype, which I also wrote.
I did some research and found out that in the 1940s, a lot of wedding photos were taken in the back seats of cars. I’m not entirely sure why, but I thought it was a cute detail to include.
We also wanted to have a magazine of Beverly showing her back when she was a model-- a little bit younger, just to show a side of her that we won’t see in the game.
While I had a lot of fun on this assignment, I don’t think I’ll be able to do something like this again. It was a lot of work, and my tablet broke, which left me really pressured for time. I’m taking a much lighter workload next week.
