“Entertainment Design: Traditional or Digital?”

by Chris Lie and Luis Lasahido

 

Entertainment Design as a new field in the design industry is on the rise due to the popularity of video games, animation, and blockbuster Hollywood movies. The high requirement in the industry had forced concept designers to experiment and discover new, better and faster working methods to produce designs with constant creativity and productivity. The transition from traditional to digital production methods is faster and unavoidable. The seminar will discuss, compare, and demonstrate both methods in various production stages.

 

Chris Lie has been working on various comic books, cover art, toys design and concept art since finishing up his master’s degree in Sequential Art from Savannah College of Art and Design in 2005. Some highlights of his works are GI Joe Sigma6 comic and toys, character design for Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 video game, Magic the Gathering Tactics CCG, and the inside cover of Street Fighter IV XBOX360 game. Recently, his graphic novel, Return to Labyrinth volume 3 is at # 4 at the New York Times manga bestseller list.

 

Luis Lasahido started his art journey while he was in college, studying water color. His training in traditional painting had made his transition to digital media effortless. Since then, his sleek and detailed painting style has appeared on various comic pages, covers, TCGs and CCGs. Some of his favorite projects are Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 design, Magic The Gathering Tactics, Spartacus cover, and Don Lawerence’ Storm album. His artworks are also featured in Exotique and Expose series.
