Storyteller app

Towards the end of last year I worked on an ipad/iphone development project that resulted in 5 apps being published in December. These apps are called ‘The Traditional Storyteller’ and can be found here in the app store.

My main creative job was the produce 40 original illustrations to highlight certain points in each specific story. I also worked on the initial wireframes and layouts, eventually managing the whole project and providing a point of contact for the clients and developers. The feedback so far has been extremely positive and the client is very happy with the final outcome. It was a big learning curve to work with Apple’s guidelines…but it’s not as bad as some sources may have you believe! I thought I’d post a picture of some of the images I produced as they’re currently not in my portfolio.

In other news, I’ve finished off the turkey just in time to receive a grant commission from a certain football club. I’ll be producing a short film about their fans and the clubs passion for the ‘beautiful game’ which will mix live action and animation. It’s going to be a fun one to experiment with.

I hope everyone had a great holiday and has big things lined up for the new year! If you’re thinking of making resolutions, I wouldn’t bother…you’ll only end up cancelling that gym membership in a few months. I say let’s make a change in February…little to start, then make the resolution nearer April. That way, you’re already well on the way to achieving the new habit you wanted to form, plus the weather is getting better and you can literally smell the sun cream…so it’s easier to stay motivated! Good tip eh?
