Translation & Transmission PART 2

Week 9 (17/10/2021) ​
So far, I have digitalized the 3 character designs to be printed out and cut. The paper I will be using are art card (300gsm) as I thought the thickness for it was what I wanted to act as the base for the other decorations that will be pasted on it later. After cutting out the cards, I used a black marker to make the outlines of the characters and its features. I found that it also helped make the cut edges look cleaner.

After I'm done with cutting out and outlining the characters, I printed out the questions that are suppose to be for the back of the cards. There are six questions in total people are required to answer. I test printed out some of the questions to be fitted for the back of the character cards as I fear that the text would be too small but it seemed fine, so I proceeded with the initial idea. Before that I also printed out some questions onto a normal small square piece of paper at first as I was also worried about the sizing and spacing is not enough on the characters.

I couldn't print on the art card itself as it was too thick, so I printed the questions onto A4 paper first, then later cut them out to fit each character. To make the back where the questions are look more neat and tidy, I also outlined it with black marker.
​
One of the items that will be pasted onto the character itself will be 'weapons' which will be held by the character's hand. For that part, I made it so that the hands of each character cards can be popped open partially to make it look like they're actually holding the weapons itself.
