Bugsy Malone-22/06/15-Lesson 5+6

Lesson 5:
At the start of the lesson I printed off my font samples and mock ups with an area for Mr Hawkins to comment on, and as he was on a course left the sheets on his desk.

The Projection Splat
To design the shape of the projection (so there will be no bleeds onto the bricks), I needed to first measure the flats where the projection will be to get a proportion for my design.

The brown and white squares on the back flats are where the projections and splat will be.

The area for the projection needs to be high up as shadows will be created by people on stage if too far down.

Shadows are created even when people are at the back of the stage.

 Once I measured the flats I x100 the 2.04 x 1.3m measurement, to get a millimetre measurement on Illustrator to start designing.

Lesson 6:
I first drew a rectangle 204 x 130mm in Illustrator and made small splat shapes around it with the curvature tool.

However once I built up more individual shapes around the square it didn't look like a splat, it just looked like a doodle. However I did print it off and left it for Mr Hawkins to compare to the larger splat.

Then I started to create a larger splat, with less individual pieces. It consisted of 2 shapes just flipped and resized. This larger splat looks more realistic and will be easier to paint.
