After sketching my illustrations, I moved on to develop them on screen. I tried to develop at least one illustration for each section with the possibility of making it animated later.
First two illustrations are for the 221b content section, with a simple shape illustration of the 221b front door and the museum. These are simple representations of these locations and fit in with the overall theme of my project. I really think these illustrations worked well nd are recognisable even in the simple style.
Some other illustrations I completed were a simple cinema scene with seven people watching the screen - the screen being completed with 4 squares based off the colour scheme, this illustration would be used in the night at the movies content section. Another illustration is a baker street old style road sign, I will place this illustration at the 221b content section. These illustrations again completed in the same style as mentioned before but the build up of the simple shapes allows for the visual idea to be communicated just as well as it would've been with a full detail illustration.
This simple film strip illustration will be used in the measuring Mr. Holmes section of my content to display the 44 well known films. I will duplicate this strip to allow for all 44 to have one square each - I thought this would be a better way to display the list of films rather than a simple list.
Next, the characters I illustrated with the simple shapes - using my sketches as a basis to build the shape of each. The characters will be used in static form as well as having animated elements and animated themselves to walk across screen etc. This is to maintain the immersive prototype style throughout and keep user interest during the large blocks of content.
Finally, I created simple illustrations to be used in the measuring mr holmes content, this would show the time taken to fly across the world or America in comparison to the length of time with the films. I created the maps using sharp shapes built up of squares and triangles - maintaining the simple shape theme throughout the whole project. I will visualise these with the data in static form and animated form to decide which works best with the content.
