Greengrowers is designed as a casual game for IPhone. From the very beginning I thought the application should have a delicate mood, a sort of poetic spirit.
I’ve always been fascinated by Bruno Munari, a genial designer and artist. His research gave an enormous contribution to visual arts, industrial design, games and creativity. Some of his works, “Disegnare un albero” (Drawing a tree) and “Un fiore con amore” (A flower with love), made me think a lot when I first read them. I decided to take inspiration from these workshops and I started working with coloured paper; I drew plants on different surfaces, from crepe to rice to tissue paper. I tried to make small videos of my drawing process and after that, I realized I could make animations of tiny bits of paper composing a plant figure.
While finishing the final draft of my report, I made some very quick and dirty clips. I’m trying to understand which might be the best solution. I attach a couple of examples, just to give an idea of what I’m trying to work on. Comments, of course, are very welcome.

Next Monday, I should work in the photo studio to record all the scenarios I need.

Grazie per l’incitamento! A dire il vero si tratta di due tentativi MOLTO quick and dirty. Dopo una serie di prove (anche in studio di fotografia) ho deciso che per la soluzione definitiva seguirò lo stile dell’esempio A.
Ovviamente isolerò meglio lo sfondo, lasciando che la variabilità delle luci renda ancor più materico il cartoncino verde. Almeno spero…
Questo weekend invece si va di icone, dopo un primo fallimentare approccio.
Stay tuned
