In this seminar we discussed and explored styles. What is a style? What makes a style? Can you avoid being in with a style? Styles is an important aspect for someone who is creative and someone who creates various different things.
Styles is what puts anything into a category or group for example different social cultures. Goths, Emos, Hipsters they all have their own individual styles and it is not just their appearance that makes their style. The way people act and think also make their culture a style and a main part that makes them different from other cultures. Everything is a style and with cultures if someone doesn't want to be apart of any of the cultures what ever they then come up with will be their own style and a start of a new trend. This method of style with social cultures works with anything and everything no matter what it is, fashion, transport, different foods, choice of housing and living etc.
Styles for creative people is very important because it determines how your product will look and which target audience it will be aimed at. Animators will pay attention to detail on this subject as their animations and videos will be aimed a specific target audience so the style they choose and use will have to appeal to that audience. An animator is making a children's show they will be aiming the cartoon at 5 - 9 years old so the style needs to be very colourful and the lines used need to be thick as this will keep the look of the animation simple with little detail. Also the voice overs in the cartoon will need to use simple words and phrases to keep the interest and entertainment for the audience.
This seminar has taught me to think about every little detail I put into a animation because even the smallest of things can have a big impact on people's impressions. Also at the start of the project to choose a specific target audience so I have a style to aim for that pleases my the viewers the best I can. The most important point I have realised from this seminar is to come up with my own style so I can apply them to my own animations and then people can pick out my creations from anyone else's work so I would stand out.
