It also made me think of "slow-paced" media and the genre called "Slice of life". I still was thinking of what I could pick so it's not very coherent it was for getting out some ideas on paper.]]> 2022-05-30 07:13:53 UTC https://padlet.com/aekette1/j8f47tw85hch9e1h/wish/2204277358 aekette1 https://padlet.com/aekette1/j8f47tw85hch9e1h/wish/2204286787 A more in depth brainstorm session to get a solid topic and find my lead question, here I'm still talking about slice of life and slow-paced media.]]> 2022-05-30 07:20:12 UTC https://padlet.com/aekette1/j8f47tw85hch9e1h/wish/2204286787 aekette1 https://padlet.com/aekette1/j8f47tw85hch9e1h/wish/2204294240 A very long video on how the countryside is depicted in fiction and anime I watched weeks prior to the start of term 3, despite being often considered a "boring" place they manage to make anime about usually nothing but someone's daily life look very interesting and intriguing with both visuals and storytelling.

Animal Crossing as a game in general (not only New Horizons) is a game that leans heavily onto costumization and creativity despite being a laid back game, starting from the initial town and the player's villager so I wanted to make something emphasizing that aspect of customization and how everyone starts the same way but everyone has a different 'result'.

Some ideas I've had in mind since are making a "choose your adventure/story" short illustrated book or a piece of art that can emphasize the customization of the game.]]> 2022-10-29 18:05:32 UTC https://padlet.com/aekette1/j8f47tw85hch9e1h/wish/2361646081 aekette1 https://padlet.com/aekette1/j8f47tw85hch9e1h/wish/2365362567 I found a channel that has experience in pop up books, I want to see what mechanics I could use.

Being a popup book I could benefit from the book being around a4 (or wider if I want it to be a rectangle when in a spread).

A completely different outcome from what I had in mind back in December! In the end, I still used adhesive velcro and some mechanics from the PopUp channel, while there were some things that I wish I could've done better I am satisfied with the outcome. I wouldn't mind doing this again.
