FD PROJECT : EXEMPLARY STORY BOOK KIDS

Hi guys, yesterday I post about My Od Illustration and I promise to post more on that [ONHOLD] today, I have new things to share with you all. Recently, I have brief my students doing project's semester on "exemplary story book kids" with a twist. Do you know about The Lego Movie? Click Here. Well as you know, inside me is still "childish" because I really love playing bricks. Even now I have Transformers in bricks version from Kre-O by Hasbro.

I like to create something ordinary because I don't want it to be main-stream so I give the task to my students to create the story book based on bricks. I want to challenge student's skills to do something new and make them more creative to think. 

As for me, I don't want them to feel I'm just a lecturer who just know how to give direction sooooo....I take the challenge to do the same with my own story [I took one from my student heheheheeh~]. Below is my "exemplary story book kids" and hope you can enjoy what to come in the next 1 month. 

The Carpenters Story 

At one time, there were a carpenter aging. He plans to retire from his job as a carpenter who is responsible for making a home in a construction company. In his mind again, with less energy, he wants to spend the rest of his life with his family. Carpenter will not accept more wages if he retires. But, he remains with the results. Then, a carpenter, told his employer of his intention. When his employer listened to an experienced carpenter, he felt sad and persuade carpenter is to withdraw the decision. But the carpenter was not budge and remained with the intent to retire. Finally, the employer agrees with the results of a carpenter, but with one condition. The last request of his employer is ask the carpenter to build a house for the last time. Carpenter was delighted and agreed to the terms set by the employer. But, happily for retirement over the spirit and skill shown during the work. As a result, the house built for the last time it was completed with casually, without specific research and use of low-quality wood. The house was completed in a short period of time. When employers look at the house, she took home the main door lock and gave it to the carpenter and said, "This is my retirement gift to you. Congratulations to retire." Carpenter was shocked by the words of his employer. He did not think that the house that he built for the last time it was the home for his own use. Would regretted him for completing the house in a hurry and if he knew before, he will build a house with the utmost care and use of high quality materials. 

Okay guys, how's the story? Really good? I think YES because its remind me to work professionally even its the last job you ever had. Now, I want to share with you guys the characters with face expression in this story which I think suitable. 

The Character is NOT related with live or dead person. FYI : Its just my imagery+creativity.

This is how I imagine the Old Carpenter's character. I search and refer to this Lego human figure from Google [Thank You! for saving my time to search it]. In my life, I never bought any product from LEGO yet but if I do, I would tell you hihihihi~.

Now for the 2nd character, I created it to more colorful and looks wealthy because....well, you have to see it;

[Copy/Paste] This is how I imagine The Boss. Is he looks wealthy enough? huhuhuhu~. Next is Old Carpenter's Family, although his family just a glimpse but I think it should be visualize so that the children can know who are carpenter's family. We have think creatively and critically so that in the end, we not to be blame or do work twice for nothing. FOCUS is important as designer.

For me, I really love to do this kinda project because its give me more option to explore in the world of illustration, maybe I can be a pioneer to something new. It also help the students to know more tools/plug-in and etc in Adobe Illustration. Upcoming post I will post on progress of this project where this goes.
