Digital Triptych - Exploring Scott McCloud's Transitions

Name: Abdullah Yazdan Zahid

ID: 0367869


Course: Bachelor of design (Hons) In creative media


INSTRUCTIONS:


 Apply Scott McCloud's theory on transitions to create a digital triptych, comprising three panels: one before, one during (climactic turning point), and one after a significant event. Each panel will represent a different transition type from McCloud's theory.



SKETCHING AND IDEAS


Mood board





Sketches

I began my sketches in photoshop. I wanted to find a good composition for all the panels.







Final Artwork

The first panel shows a car finding the Foolhudhigu Handi in the woods.


For the second panel it is a close up of the monsters face. This is to emulate the view that the driver of the car sees while the monster is in front of it. I wanted to create the feel of a jump cut to the monsters face by using the close up. While shading the character I made sure to keep the lighting on the character from the headlights from the car.


For the third panel I went back to the same position from panel. However, this time the cars headlights are turned off and the color palette has changed. This is to suggest that something bad has happened to the driver of the car. The color palette went from a warmer tone to a colder tone.

Mood board Fig 1.1 references: Image 1 Image 2 Image 3 Image 4 Sketches SKETCH 1 Fig 1.2 Fig 1.3 My first sketch was the least similar to the other sketches as I went in a more abstract and simple design. It shows a plastic bottle in the shape of a fish getting caught by a fishing hook represented by a straw. I also limited myself to only two colors for this sketch. SKETCH 2 Fig 1.4 Fig 1.5 For my second sketch I made it more comic style and created a scene were a cartoon fish is sitting in the middle of a trash heap in the bottom of the ocean pleading to save the ocean. I used gestalt theory by creating small silhouettes to create the illusion of a lot of trash being in the background. I also made a comic style spe...
