UIUC THEA 461:
Tattoo Shop Projection Design
2018
I designed a storyboard animation sequence for the advertisement of an upcoming guest tattoo artist as part of THEA 461: Intro to Media Design, a UIUC studio course focused on the skills of creating programmed images for live performance of dance, theatre, and music theatre. In this storyboard, projected images and videos are displayed on the outside walls of a tattoo studio in order to attract new clients and to showcase the guest artist's work and design process. I created this storyboard animation sequence in using Isadora and Adobe Photoshop.
For this design project, I chose a tattoo artist working as a guest at a tattoo studio. I designed projections to advertise the artist to potential clients. I chose Kameeleon Tattoo (@kameeleontattoo) as my guest artist. I gathered all the images, text, and videos for my project from Kameeleon Tattoo’s public Instagram account. I then edited the images and created the projection masks in Adobe Photoshop. Finally, I sequenced the animation using Isadora to create a video storyboard.
