Nice! 1. Personally, I especially want it to be something easy for people to draw and improvise in new poses / situations. Here is the sheet about the Go Gopher that is about what I am thinking about, and amusing: https://golang.org/doc/gopher/modelsheet.jpg. I think your slides do a really good job of outlining similar things.
In order to encourage less talented artists to improvise using the character, I favor simple & welcoming as the main depiction. I prefer the side 3/4 view for the main depiction. Color style - A - flat Line style - A1 - heavy (I like heavy lines in all cases) Color palette - works for me (I'm not sensitive to this) Comments: - I really like the final slide and the one labeled "final outcome" which have glowing wings. I wanted to note that A1 does not have the glowing wings and it feels a bit flat with just one orange - I notice that in B1 the antennae are fully enclosed by lines, whereas A1 and C1 the end is left open to imply a connection to the head. I think B1 offers more playful possibilities for the antennae to be depicted in different positions. There's the issue of being internally consistent with how the arms are connected... looks good either way Kenn On Fri, Mar 13, 2020 at 12:33 PM Aizhamal Nurmamat kyzy <[email protected]> wrote: > Thank you Julian! > Here is the link to the slides > https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1cEydTxQcsTJES_JCRvC_xgK7HMCIfnxmuawd7x2Bk_o/edit?usp=sharing > > On Fri, Mar 13, 2020 at 12:25 PM Julian Bruno <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> Hello Apache Beam Community, >> >> >> Together with Aizhamal and her team, we have been working on the design >> of the Apache Beam mascot. >> >> We now need input from the community to continue moving forward with the >> design.
