RIT Character Library
Version 1 (Set 1): initially based off of a style and palette created by a previous student. Adapted palette to include colors from the RIT branding guide and natural skin tones. All rigged using After Effects puppet pinning.
Version 2 (Sets 2 and 3): altered designs to 3/4ths view for more versatile rigging and animation. Included greater detail, light props, and specific references to academic majors to reflect student diversity.
Version 1 (revisions): later work to adapt Ver. 1 character concepts into Ver. 2's style.
For all versions, sketches were done in Adobe Photoshop, with asset building in Illustrator and rigging in After Effects.
Character Library Animation Test
A rough animation test done to test both rigging capabilities and to ensure the wheelchair would be animatable. The character is divided into multiple layers and rigged using After Effect's puppet pinning tools with null object controls for easier animation.
RIT Senior Night Cards
Created for the 2021 Men's and Women's Senior Night games. Each card was constructed from a base template (lower banner + logo on front, general layout on back). Selected action-focused player photos that best suited the card layout, which were then color-corrected. Added additional effects to the background and number backdrop on the front and incorporated the RIT Tigers logo on the back. Prepared card sheets for final printing.
