Story Telling and Commission: Soundscape, Sound Design for Space

Today's Adobe Audition class entailed using sample sound files in order to create a soundscape for a space setting. Alongside sample sounds the class was given the choice to build a soundscape from our imagination or a sample video. I have designed my sound file around camera footage from a reentry. 

Artist Toolkit - Character Design (18/01/17)

During the character design class the group was informed about the formation of characters through the use of shapes. Following the principles of triangles, squares and circles we applied this to different characters of our choice, in my case this was Grim from 'The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy'.

After completing a number of drawings from the example character we were given the task to create 3 more characters from a random category. As the category was misheard I repeated the task twice, one for zombies and another for pirates.
