My intervention / Skills developed

Challenges

On this project, I was the art director responsible for call for tender proposal, final product design (co working with a copywriter) and production. I had to solve several challenges  :

  • Catch the client (capture the call for tender).
  • Create a simple and addictive game, mainstream-oriented.
  • Follow-up the technical production (animation & frame-rate quality).
  • Cope with a short deadline and a very low-budget.

Micro-game design

Conception brainstorming (team working with a copyrighter). This step included univers definition, rules, challenge, mechanics, level-design, functional guidelines.

Art direction

Sketchs, trends definition, interface designing, declinations and final product quality.
