PROJECT 2: Street Fighter Design

PROJECT PREMISE

 

-        Choose FOUR characters to redesign from Street Fighter series (any of the different games)

-        Must have significant and obvious shape differences between each character depending on their personality/fighting style

-        Characters must remain as they were (No robotic or gender changes, etc.)

-        The Combat System must remain the same (one on one combat)

-        The proportions of the character must fit the fighting style of said character (e.g. Zangief moves a lot more slowly than Cammy)

AREA OF FREEDOM

-        You can change the culture of each character. Example: Chun Li does not have to be Asian.

-        Understanding the role of story and personality behind character design

-        You can have a “themed” Street Fighter redesign. Example: Zombie Street Fighter, Western Cowboy Street Fighter, Russian Grandmother/Grandfather Mafia Street Fighter, etc.

GOAL OF THE ASSIGNMENT

-        Shape design and shape function

-        Understanding form design to fit functionality

-        Gain understanding of silhouette design

-        Understanding the role of story and personality behind character design

FINAL RESULT (Week 4)

-        4 final character designs including work done to get to final

-        KEEP IT SIMPLE!! You only have 4 weeks to complete this project

WEEK 4 HOMEWORK
