MY CREATIVE JOURNEY


INTRODUCTION

This is a video that contains a story about how I have been following my path towards my goal. This content was made to provide inspiration and encouragement to viewers with creative methods and storytelling skills. I was focusing on illustrating minimalistic characters and drawings, yet conveying a powerful and clear message. 
MATERIALS

Hardware: iPad, MacPro
Software: Illustrator Draw; Illustrator CC, Photoshop
Platforms: Creative Cloud, Behance
CREATIVE PROCESS

Audience:
I considered high school students or young adults who are currently studying abroad or planning to do so, as the audience.
Purpose:
I made this video to be helpful and empathizing to them so that they can feel encouraged and confident to go through the challenges they will encounter in the future. This should be accessible to all the age groups in general, nonetheless, it can be the most beneficial to the certain age group 18 - 30
Tone:
It was thought that it would be relevant to use soft and friendly tone, but I also tried to make the pronunciation clear that it can be easily heard. 
PRODUCTION METHODS & WORKFLOW

Before I started making the video, I wrote a list of content that I wanted to use for the video. There is a character I made based on my actual appearance, but the character looks more minimalistic in the final work. I developed the story and content based on this rough.
This is a brainstorm I made before I started working on the video. It has a rough image of my character and a list of content I was going to use in the video. Some of them were used for the video, and some of them weren't.
A cover for the video. I took a picture of myself and traced it.
CONCLUSION

It was a very meaningful project to me. I didn't have many opportunities to talk about my own story or challenges to others so far, but while I was working on this, I could have chances for self-reflection and empathy for myself. Also, I could practice my drawing skills on digital tools. Using tools that I haven't got used to yet was a little bit challenging; however, I found it rewarding since I actually noticed that my skills with digital tools and eligibility to work on other software have been developed. Consequently, I managed to successfully complete this project, which requires storytelling skill and some knowledge about digital software.
