I have almost reached the end of this project for Naxos records – which is an App based on Saint-Saen’s Carnival of the Animals.
Talk about a learning curve! But I guess it’s all good knowledge to have. The 15 screens for this App are all made up of many small individual pieces, assembled on screen so they can be recomposed for different screen sizes, and also so some elements can be animated.Much of the art has been created in sketchbooks, just playing around creating simple shapes in inks.
The images are adjusted and recoloured as necessary in photoshop… all very different for me. The important thing has been to create images that will still be recognisable to a 3 year old even on an iphone!
It will (I hope) be a lovely way of presenting this children’s favourite to a new and young audience. It has also encouraged me to work in new and unexpected ways…
Here’s some more work in progress. I’m not sure when it will be “published” but I will, of course, keep you posted!
