Character Graphics

When looking at similar interactive educational graphics, there is usually a character graphic which guides the audience through the game. This is usually an animated graphic which is something to do with the game or subject. For example, the entertaining history education TV programme ‘Horrible Histories’ uses the character of a rat and also the animated characters of the historical characters which are talked about in the episode.

This is something which is used throughout all of the Horrible Histories media with the website, TV show and games. It creates a better entertaining value to the brand.

I decided that I wanted to create a characters which was an animated Einstein which would be animated throughout the website, app and poster. I had a look online to get a better idea about what the graphics look like and how I could use these as a start point.

I found this Einstein graphic which was what I wanted to use for the website and app. I downloaded this to get an idea of how the website would look with the character. 

I think that this works really well and the character gives the scene a fun, more entertaining look to the background. This also works with the animated background of the room and is suitable for the audience. 

 I like the theme of the animated character graphic and how it could act as a narrator throughout the website, app and poster.
