stickers

I am making a zine with some classmates. It's about suburbia, because what else on earth is interesting?

Here are the stickers sheets I printed off. I like the design. I'd like to imagine if I had a skater skirt or long flowy dress with prints like these (particularly the second and third), I would be by far the coolest kid on the block.

Also here are some my favorite photos we're going to use in the zine:

Notes from Pete Docter

Pete Docter (director of Toy Story, Monsters Inc., Inside Out, and a generally adorable human) gave a talk in a nearby church yesterday. He was one of the more pleasant and charismatic speakers I've seen, and he was very humble. Here's some very short notes, typed-up because my handwriting is a cipher understood by only a select few (namely, me, and maybe my mom):

• Strive to create things that everyone knows but no one talks about.
• Every single part of the story is known before the animation.
• Idea -> story development -> writing, script -> character design, visual development
• Characters are compelling when they are relatable.
• For inspiration: make lists, take walks.

I'm getting worse? (shitty iPhone photos in dim light are shitty...iPhone photos in dim light.)
