The visual developments seen below aim to develop the world of Moom that our collaborative group have created. These illustrations explore stylisation and characterisation by using real-life references for my prop and clothing interpretations. I decided on a clean, simple drawing style as I wanted my ideas to be clear. My drawings will also influence future orthographs, another reason for my simplistic style choice. As I visually develop on this Laundromat animation sequence, I feel my confidence growing; an 80's style is being established alongside an intriguing sequence narrative.

| Above, prop designs heavily influenced by 1980's reference photo's. I explore storage possibilities; how does laundry manoeuvre around the laundromat set? Walls also need decorating with posters. A significant prop within this laundromat sequence is the detergent box, I therefore designed this prop to be eye-catching through neon colours. |

| Above, I try to establish Moom's personality visually. Using methods learnt in Justin Wyatt's 'Body Language' lessons, I explore Moom's demeanour by positioning the character in ways that link to his characteristics. Anxious, Illogical, naïve. |

| Using the visual research conducted, I established an 80's style laundromat set design. The above images assign positions to the most significant props. I used my storyboard to create a plan that can be replicated in Maya. Further detailing should include luggage, plants and posters. |
