The case for unity in style ....

These are some contemporary references that support the idea of a unified use of the black outline....

  1. The main difference between the classical examples using outlining in the people only versus the contemporary examples using unified outlining is a difference of gradients versus color blocking.

    Is our set palette gradiated like the sophisticated classical palette or blocks of color like the graphic novel examples?

    This is an important style choice for me with the lighting palette is well. It could go either was for me, but having a clear decision one way or the other helps me choose what look to support with lighting style. hard lines or soft edges? Strong color choices or natural subtle support?

  2. Either "way", that is...

  3. Deb, I think our meeting today cleared this up. The costumes will be busy bright patterns, and the set will back them with large color blocks that will lean toward lower values. This will help the busy costumes pop a bit.
