Summer Work: redesigning- style and design rules

Following feedback from the Premise crit, over summer I will be redesigning each planet in my world.

Crit Feedback:

  • Don't use flat platforms
  • Needs to look good from every angle
  • Need to find a new metaphor instead of spider and fly on web
  • Bird feeding the worm to the other bird doesn't make sense
  • Need to include secondary animation
  • Each one should have at least 3 moving parts
  • Following the butterfly with the camera slows it down too much
  • Each planet needs to have a beginning, middle and end

Following this feedback I started to think about what style I wanted to redesign everything in. I came up with these following rules that I am going to stick to when redesigning:
  1. Use simple shapes
  2. Cartoon style
  3. Use strong colours
  4. Have intricate parts / detail
  5. Use more unusual colours
  6. The planets should look fairly busy
  7. Each planet must have at least 3 moving parts- the main focus, and at least 2 pieces of secondary animation
I then researched into artists work that follow these kind of rules to get an idea of what my designs should look like:
