The Lifting Tower Brief: Concept Art and Submitted Ideas

Design Board of Concept Art

In order to start designing for this idea, we compiled a list of structures and landmarks that we thought represented Leeds well; Trinity Horse, Owls, Barrel Man, Town Hall, Hyde Park, the Market, Corn Exchange. I selected five and I tried to keep the drawings relatively simple and not involve too much/any shading, as ribbons or playful lines were going to be making up the shape of the object or building. I kept these relatively consistent, but gave the ribbon more detail so that it would contrast with the rest of the drawings/animation. I thought this would help wrap up the animation (pardon the pun, if you will). 

Once I had completed the concepts for the first idea, we were able to sit down as a group and thumbnail the storyboards for each of the ideas. From here, Katy put together the final storyboards and Emma was able to pair these with our concept work to present on art boards.

Final Art Boards

I'm really pleased with how smoothly this process has gone, at it's been a nice way to get back into the swing of working, especially as part of a team. Now we've submitted, it's just a matter of waiting for the results.
