Where's the Floor

So lately when I do thumbnails for my comics, I play a game called "Where's the Floor". Basically, put a grid down to represent the surface plane.

I picked up this trick from watching animatics from "Rise of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" from Nickelodeon. This leads me to this helpful trick, it's the grid pattern on the floor to show perspective.

Whether it is the floor or the ceiling, it's an easy way for me to know where the camera is in relation to the surface plane. Therefore, giving me an idea of how to draw the characters in that perspective. Also leads to dynamic shots and amazing high action scenes.

There was one other set of videos on youtube that uses their cameras pretty affectively, and that's a dance troupe from Russia.

You put a grid on the most important surface in that shot and it's basically the same principles!

Even their bird's eye camera, zoom ins made me think of shots taken in dancing scenes from Disney.

If you break down a shot from your favorite animated series, you can guess where the grid is, how it's tilted, and how the character should be in perspective to that.

Having this concept simplified really has helped with layout, perspective, and taking steps into more dynamic action scenes for me.

I like grids. And beads. I really really like beads.

How about the grid visualization for feed on mobile devices app too?

Answer: Hi there, @g698!

So we can certainly say someday, we hope. We can certainly say we want it too, and it would be nice to have. That is as much as we can say to this point, but rest assured should there be news on this, we will be there and square to let you know. Fingers crossed tight—and thanks for your question.

It��s Manuals Monday! Manuals Monday is back! On Mondays we feature an excerpt from a graphics standards manual from the archives.

Today’s manual is for the Urban Land Institute from 1992.

Back in 2017 we shared some brochures for the Urban Land Institute (ULI) and recently we uncovered these Graphics Guidelines in the archives.

According to the proposal from Vignelli Associates, ULI is the “preeminent educational and research organization serving the real estate industry.” In 1992, Vignelli Associates proposed creating a membership kit and a promotional brochure which could later be applied to an institution-wide graphic identity.

As always, if you know more about this project or worked on this project, we would love to hear from you!
