KNOWING YOUR TOOLS WELL Kolkata based Sagnik Sengupta, a designer and music lover, narrates how he executed an exciting yet challenging idea for a football promo, and the tool-work it took him to transmit it onto the screen.

Sagnik Sengupta
Hails from Kolkata, he has worked in a wide range of projects like print design, channel packaging, commercials and stage visuals. A bong with love for music, he has completed his 3rd grade from Calcutta School of Music. behance.net/sagniksengupta
References keep you on track. The brief was to show the essence of football, and to justify what really makes football fans believe so much in the game. A reference by the promo team showed a man forming while running with the ball. I wanted to take that idea further, and add more edge to it. So I decided to experiment with Motion Capture.

Project Focus
Mimicking Magical Forests Self-taught animator, director and watercolour artist, Surajit Majhi, generously runs us through the process he and his team used at Graphix Story to create a moving visual representation of the forest’s magic.
Being natural is the best way to be. To kickstart the journey of Graphixstory 2.0 after it’s incorporation in November 2016, we were in need of a short yet effective video representing the values of our creative studio. When designing for your own enterprise, there is no one to stop you from stretching your creative wings. Recognising that, we had all the freedom in the world to shape things the way we liked. Thereby, everything became very natural, and so also efficient

The Role of Pencil. An initial comprehensive of early sketches of an idea is essential. These series of quick drawings help the designer to get a visual continuity and refine the sketches in the progression. Fleshing out pages of thumbnail sketches and slowly locking down the final rough is a gradual process that is extremely crucial to understand the different elements in the narrative and how they must be depicted. This later becomes the template for the final art work.
Every Detail is Important. Capturing the essence of the narrative is of utmost importance when producing the line work, however, the illustration gains its meaning and soul only after it is coloured. Portrayal of emotion and depth in a story is critical to comprehend the mood and appropriate tones and colours highlight it effectively. The designer chooses the colours very carefully to encapsulate the mood and accentuate certain attributes in the story CreativeGaga.com
