Work done for Bamba Clock
Various art assets for mobile apps for kids. Took part in the conceptualization of multiple apps over a period of 3 years. Assets were done mostly in Flash, with a few exceptions done in PS. Did art direction further down the road when I worked with more on site artists as well as outsourced ones.
Since the general target audience was kids aged 5 and under, UI had to be (mostly) wordless, intuitive and appealing. Characters were also designed with merchandising in mind, they had to be cute, sometimes wacky, but still appealing at the end of the day. Had the pleasure of creating some really fun characters and animating them. = )
Animation was done via symbol animation. Visual effects were mostly frame for frame with an exception of a few that were done in After Effects by my colleagues. Backgrounds were a combination of vector and textures.
