Depict Collect Select: Siggraph-Mascot design workshop
DescriptionTo celebrate Japan's vibrant design culture, participants in this workshop will use the novel Depict Collect Select (DCS) framework to design a Mascot Character for Siggraph Asia 2024 Tokyo. This is a hands-on session of iterative character design for beginners, aspiring designers and design educators.
During the session, you will quickly fashion effective design outcomes as you draw, sculpt, scan and discuss your work. Draw on paper or in digital space; sculpt with plasticine or online; gather reference using natural and artificial senses; and capture objects with photogrammetry or LIDAR. Participants will receive a small gift and the attendee with the best character design will go home with a custom designer-toy prize.
Open-minded participants are encouraged to use traditional methods to draw and sculpt, and art materials will be supplied. You are also asked to have apps loaded on your phone or mobile device as support for this: for Generative A.I. (such as Chat GPT) and for photogrammetry/LIDAR (such as 3D Scanner App or Kiri). Simple online 2D and 3D software (including Canva and Project Neo) will also be discussed.
This will be a fun, supportive, informative session; your presenter is a character designer and academic with over 20 years of industry and teaching experience.
