 Hey Guys! Wednesday 31st of March Website to look at: https://www.wikihow.com/Create-a-Storyboard We are going through our posters, to see each other works and to explain our thoughts. Also to see what others think about the story though our posters. Feedback from classmates for my poster: Likes the silhouette, but its off center. Didn't know what's the background - Desk and person sitting in the chair Cat hair standing up (one the tail and/or back), or the tail bushy straight up. Name blends in to the shadow. Storyboard trail The brief, your character finds a key to open a door. Two Weeks, break it down to the essentials 12 shots only.

 Hey Guys! Assessment Nearly Complete Today, Saturday the 27th of March I've nearly completed the poster assessment as I have an idea and goal towards, what I need to do is. Look up Cat designs, ie patterns of what a domestic  cat could have. As the cat design on the poster is still a bit too close to Pikachu (The icon for Pokémon  World). Rearrange the title of poster so the wording isn't heavy on one side. CHECK SPELLING! Or maybe play on words? (Instead of Protect, have Paw-tect) Maybe with the negative space include a texture so it isn't too heavy. Add Kynn in the chair. Add Genre to log line, or on to the poster. Rewrite Log Line. Here is my poster so far: Two hours of work later.

 Hey Guys! Assessment Complete! My opinion of this assessment, I had no clue what I was talking about. I tired understanding the brief, but it was a bit hard to write up artists with inspirations and what to goal towards.
