OUGD503 Transformers Brief (Major project)

Getting contacted

During the start of responsive, I was contacted through email by an Ex-student from my college who was giving a talk to the current foundation year. Apparently while he was there, my previous tutors was showing him some portfolios that where left there and he had seen my previous work that I've done back in foundation. We got talking and he told me that he really liked my old work and would love to see more of it. From my old work, he told me that he really liked my pixel work and would love to have a poster or a shirt in that style. After talking a bit more we found out that we had a common interest in transformers and it all sort of came together from there.

With the groundwork set, he asked me if he could pay to get some posters of the characters made for him in a pixel style from a few transformers of his choosing. I explained to him about my responsive module and wanted to see if it was alright to include him in it with this project and he was fine with it. Once more, when i asked him what he wanted he told me that it was up to me, he wanted to see what i came up with but he did say he just wanted the pixel art as it’s the simplistic style that he really likes. I agreed and was really happy with this concept and was looking forward to creating work for this project.

This is the first time that I've been contacted to create work for someone which just made me giddier to start working on this brief.
