Pitch week / Progression

After sharing my ideas, goals and aim's i was given some really good feedback and areas to look into regarding my Project. From what i talked about it looked like i was leaning more towards what makes characters "Cute" so interested in this idea i will pursue it, however i still want to try create other characters to give off other feels and emotions. The areas i was told to look into was things like,

"Hello Kitty" A very well known character that is regarded as cute and loveable yet i know nothing about it personally, but i am going to look into it to try see how it all came about also the style they used. 

I am going to look into Shapes in relation to characters. The general idea that round shapes are good, square grumpy, triangle can be seen as evil or bad, a good example of this can be seen in "UP" which i am already looking into. Another aspect is Colour Theory which again i will be driving into, to try get the most from my characters a good colour palate is needed.

A good character needs a good story or background, so i will be looking into comics and how they are made effective. also Storyline and context to add to a character to give more depth.

Anthropomorphic, giving Human characteristics to Animals or other Objects, this was a really interesting idea and will be going into it a lot more.

A friend of mine told me about this idea of "Evolution of cute" that mothers that Nurture the young will have cute babies, while the young that is left alone or to fend for themselves at birth may not be as cute, this was interesting and i have been looking into it.

And lastly another area to look into was game characters that we may not know much back story on but are seen as amazing, examples given where, Mario, Peach, and Sonic but there are a lot of others.
