A Study of Appropriate Design: Visual Development for Story Adaptation

Project Aim:

To explore the visual development process surrounding story adaptation and gain a solid understanding of how design principles are harnessed to create appealing and appropriate compositions for story art. 

Objectives:

Major Tasks:

• Examining and researching (adaptation) visuals, considering the principles of design.
• Establishing a connection between aesthetic qualities and story aspects in relative concept artwork.
