I did some thumbnails for possible cell designs, as I am basing my animation inside a computer I wanted to create cells that could represent that. I was finding the parasite/virus cells difficult to design, as they need to look threatening and I felt as if I was making them too cute. However 34 looks as if it could be invading a system to me, as does 33 and 36.
I also thought about colour coding each cell, so the red blood cells could be blue, the liver cells could be green and the virus cells could be red for example.
I know I'm bringing up the cliché colour coding but wouldn't it be more understandable if the blood cells were red and the viruses green (=disease, zombie, sick)?
ReplyDeletein this instance, I don't think the green = bad is going to help, just because we equate green with computers and 'healthy computers'; perhaps the virus cells could be depicted as a 'glitching' thing - so it phases and fizzes and communicates its otherness that way? In terms of the shapes here, I just think that your shapes should be more 'pure' because you're in this 'non organic' space, and some of the outlines/contours of your various elements fee too irregular to me.
