How to make your own cup of Tea Infographic and Making Of

Infographic- Transition Tests and layouts

After changing the font, I realised that I had not written the title correctly it didn't had the how to make your own, incorporated. This made the title longer when I changed it to fit with the original layout that I liked so here are a few test that I have done to try and figure out how the intro should visually look like. 

Below is test 6  in the way that I would like it to transition into the scene to introduce the Infogaraphic. Please comment below the layout that you think that works the best or any opinions on how to improve the intro. 

Also step 3 and 5 have the same number of words I wasn't sure which layout worked best and I want them to have the same format so please comment which one you think works best. 

I have an issue with my background colour at the moment because these are all separate files but once I place them into one file  I hopefully they should  have the background colour of the intro. 

            

Font test - Adaptation Part A

Infographic Transition Test - Adaptation Part A

I've made the text slide into position instead of everything on screen and I also changed the orientation of the cup and the set I wanted to do this for each step but would it be too much and wouldn't work well. Maybe I should keep the mug and the husband and wife in the same place and just pop in the extra children that come into each step.

Any feedback is appreciated please. 

Updated Infographic progression- Adaptation part A

Adaptation part A- Final colour Palette and Set colour test

I really like B and C the most with a bold font .

Colour test- Adaptation

I took Phil's advise and looked at 50's wall paper and used those colour to help find my colour palette, I really like D I think that it has the correct tone for the info graphic. 

Adaptation part A- Colour test for the characters and background

I like the colour combination of A it was very hard to find a red and blue that complimented each other  currently I have colours that are  close to B but this is too dark and the C and D are too washed out. 

Updated set Adaptation part A

Updated Environments initial designs - Adaptation part A

I like numbers 5 and 3 please comment below which kettle you think would work best with which stove. I think that 5 B or 3B would look good together. 

The designs that I like for the stove are letters B and C please comment below for any suggestions for which designs I should go foreword with. 

Adaptation part A - animatic intro test with set design

This test was just to play with the transitions to see if they were working, it has timing issues at the end but I just wanted to share what I  have been up to. After speaking to Alan the infographic will now have a new set and incorporate text in a bolder way. 

I will be keeping the Characters the same but the environment will be changing along with the staging of the info graphic. 

Adaptation Part A - Environment designs

I really like A, just having the line art and the a soft texture for the background is a lot nicer and doesn't take way the focus from the characters. 

I really like the shape of F but I also like the union jack print but i'm not sure if this will be too much for the scene. 

This is the idea for the hole that the family have created to keep their massive cup of tea, I like the overall look but i'm not sure if the room should just be empty with a ladder or if it needs more to it. 

Updated Script

With every step the wife becomes more limp and slumped and tired so that by the last step she is exhausted and really deserves a sip of tea because making the cup of tea is very exhausting.

Adaptation Part A- Colour Test

Adaptation part A - Character development

The characters in the Final Info-graphic will be silhouettes I will be playing with colours and prints so that they characters are in the colours of the british flag.

Logo Ideas- Adaptation

This is a late post I just wanted to show some of the sketches that went into creating the logo's for both adaptation part A and B.

I really like the boil that the background has in this animation, this could be added to the backgrounds in the environment to bring some life into the set or props but I would like to do a test once i have my set and characters to decide wether or not it will work with the style that I want to achieve.

I also really like the style of this animation especially the characters, which is something that I am aiming towards in terms of styles, this style mixed with the boil above would be ideal for me.
