This production diary outlines the progress made over 15 weeks on a final major project for a BTEC Extended Diploma in Creative Media Production. It documents research conducted on characters and game environments, the creation of concept art including hand-drawn sketches and digital pieces, and efforts to link character designs to an established story. The diary concludes with uploading all artworks to a blog to complete the project.
