D.C. Thomson's decision to transform the UK's longest running children's comic, The Dandy, into a digital-only publication and app saw our team tasked with creating a fun and exciting online presence for The Dandy, with a website to support the title and carry fresh content not available in the app.

My role was to create animations for the digital Dandy Comic with Adobe Edge Animate with a weekly turnaround. This task also included testing for bugs and fixing functionality issues with the interactivity of the strips.

While at DC Thomson, I also worked on the new Dennis and Gnasher website. I created vector graphics for use on their website and for animated sprite sheets for their GNASH BANG WALLOP! game and produced a fully animated opening for unregistered visitors to the site.

There was also an opportunity to work on creating a new comic strip with a Dandy scriptwriter, for which I collaborated on development of the storyline and created character designs and storyboards, taking them from initial concept through to completion.

Creating character designs to fit the specified brief and taking them from concept to completion. Drawing up event illustrations to be used throughout the game, working to a very tight monthly schedule.

Colouring all comic strip panels and assets according to direction from the Comic artist to be used for motion design by the BBC for their Superhuman series.
