Research Methods

- What research methods have you employed for this project and why?

I did a second research survey over the Internet on information about Thomas and his work, as well as research on pixel art software, a technology that will be used for my work.

- What have you researched and why was this important (i.e. how did it inform your work?)

In this project, I planned to express work with pixel art, so knowing and understanding what pixel art was was a priority. Therefore, I researched about pixel art and found that there were a variety of pixel art software, not the Photoshop that I had previously used usefully.

Through this research and prototype, I tried some pixel software and selected PiskelApp as the program to use in my work.

- What further research methods do you intend use and what will you research?

Firstly, I will investigate further about motion graphics, which are mainly used in pixel art.  I am going to investigate artists who mainly work on motion graphics of people who might be inspirations for my work.

Secondly, I think more research is needed on human poses. When I try to express the poses of characters in my pixel art with posters and four to five motion graphics, it is to express the characters more naturally and diversely.
