Project Planning - The Brief - Revised (Aug 20)

Changed direction several weeks ago, removed the idea of doing a sci-fi translation, narrowed focus, removed unnecessary things that would have obstructed learning and the final outcome. Finally found time to revise the brief as seen below.

Outcome -  Brief:

Generate designs in a caricatured realism aesthetic that assist the translation of Terry Pratchett's comedy-fantasy novel Jingo into the fantasy live-action film genre. The target audience are fantasy and science fiction fans with an appreciation for humorous wordplay and the exploration and appropriation of cultural tropes through comedy. The designs produced will define some of the key locations, props and characters seen in Jingo, with a focus on those that are central to the plot. As this is an adaptation, the designs will stay somewhat true to Pratchett's original tone and characterisations but there is some leeway in terms of artistic license. The focus is on the novel Jingo, so absolute accuracy in relation to other Discworld novels is not essential.

Personal Aim:
To develop design skills. The exact contextual function of the concept artist is not priority.

Misc thoughts:

brief makes design process more exciting - builds motivation to start working
