LBX 2024 - Announcement Splash Launch | AIA June

[Josephine Ota]

Hi May and Kelly,

Thanks so much for taking on the task of Illustrator and Graphic Designer for LBX 2024 - Announcement Splash!

 

The basic prompt: 

Create a Kaijuu themed splash illustration with all 3 mascots for Lightbox! — Current plan is to build off last year’s illustration, but feel free to explore similar ideas as well.

Please reference the splashes from previous years:

• LBX 2021
• LBX 2022
• LBX 2023

 

Timeline:

• First pass: 2024-06-09 at 11:59 PT
• Second pass: 2024-06-16 at 11:59 PT
• We’d love for these to be finalized by 2024-08-01
• File Name: | AIA Creative Team

Hi all!

Here are some sketches for the LBX splash! The mascots are a bit off-model -- will address it in the next pass!

Cheers!

Hi Josephine,

I just wanted to resend this here just in case because I know we have another thread for the LBX Announcement. 

Here is the Canva post I was working on. I added #1 of May's beautiful sketches, so we can start seeing what the splash would look like in our announcement! :)

Best,

Kelly

Hi Kelly!

Thanks for the update and for putting the sketch in! Looks great! As usual, we'll review your work over the next few days, and get back to you with feedback soon.

Hi May,

Notes are in the SyncSketch and you're free to start addressing them. The splash looks amazing! Just adjust Shun's color and work on getting May's head a little more on model and I think we'll be done.

If you have the bandwidth, I would love to see one last pass turned in by July 28th at 11:59pm PT and see if we can wrap this project before the August break. If you don't have the bandwidth, let me know and I'll schedule the next review for September.

Thanks for all your hard work and let me know what you think.

Best,

Josephine Ota

Hey Josephine!

Here are the updates on the notes from that week. Let me know if you want any more changes after August break. 

Cheers!

[Josephine Ota]

Awesome! Thank you May. I'll get back to you as soon as feedback comes in, but you won't be expected to address any of the notes until September, after the August break.

Thank you for your time and for getting these last minute revisions in. Have a great break!

Best,

Hi May,

Awesome job on the splash art. Feedback is in the SyncSketch and you're clear to start addressing feedback AFTER the August break. These include small adjustments like: Shun's saturation, getting May and Shun on model, and adding white spots to Ani's eyes.

The next review after the August break will be on September 15th at 11:59pm PT. I'll try to send out a reminder, but feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns before then. If you message in August, responses will be a bit slower, but we will respond.

Thank you for your time and have a great break!

• Review 2 - September 22th at 11:59pm PT

My goal is to get all LBX projects approved and ready to go by the end of September. Please let me know if you have any questions or need any assistance, and I will try and reply as soon as I can.
