The Big Bang theory

In doing this past week's assignment on story books, there was a lot to expect  and a few things that took me by surprise. For instance reducing these character designs to just shapes was tricky. How can one convey the personality of a character, something that is incredibly complex, into a simple oval? And that's where Molly Bang came into play. Bang's principles narrowed down what I could do and how I could do it. I could convert so much about a character from color. The contrast of the light pink color of the pigs to the gloomy and scary grey and red of the wolf showed that it was both menacing and unsettling. The three pigs were accessoried with other different colors,pig one wore glasses,pig two wore a red hat, and pig three simply had a green triangle. The green triangle helped to indicate that it was ultimately that pig that made the proper decision while building its house.Moreover, the shapes I decided to use also helped me stay consistent and express which characters were bad and which ones were good. The wolf had pointy shapes such as triangles and rhombuses while the pigs were ovals. The pointy wolf made me draw a comparison to a knife, thus associating danger. Whilst, the roundness of the pigs expressed that the pigs were harmless, but at the same time indicated that the pigs were related. These methods work simply for the fact that it "dumbs down" how to make a story successful.
