Autobotography Intent-JacobH

Character Archive.

This project will be a website that archives characters that I have invented. It will include drawings of the characters, their names and their backstories.

I enjoy making up characters and brief backstories, so I decided to do something a little different from the typical biography. Instead of creating a biography of myself, I am going to create a series of short biographies of characters that I have invented. Even though this isn’t a depiction of the real me, these characters come from my imagination, so they can be considered a part of me. A lot of these characters exist only in my imagination, I would like them to exist someplace outside of myself, so that others will get the chance to know them.

These biographies will be in the form of a website containing descriptions and, in some cases, pictures. The tools involved are Notepad++, for coding the website, and the various tools I use to make the pictures. One of my primary drawing tools is the Adobe creative suite which cost $30 a month. I estimate the project to take no more than two weeks.



One thought on “Autobotography Intent-JacobH”

  • Concept
    What media is the intent/project?
    This is a one to many project. Where Jacob is creating his characters for many people to view.

    Design

    I enjoy the fact that you draw your own characters. It gives them ever more of a personal feeling to them. I think you should look around at different RBG website for some website design inspiration.

    Technical
    This is a great project to complete in a few weeks. It shouldn’t be too difficult to set up on a server and should be easy to manage in the future.

    Audience
    I believe Jacob mostly wants this as a collection for himself, but I don’t see why others cannot view this. Perhaps people interested in RPG’s would be interested in viewing his website.

    Creativity

    I think this is a great and creative idea that will allow you to express yourself in a new and fun way. I’d use this myself for my own characters.
