Character Design is a branch of illustration that involves creating characters through the seamless integration of gesture, colour, form, and shape to convey relatable psychology. Character design serves as a creative extension of the human spirit, albeit within biased contexts determined by the community. Eric Telfort's research involves identifying historical patterns critical to understanding the design, purpose, and archetypal nature of characters. Telfort's work explores Carl Gustav Jung's theories on the human condition, including his four major archetypes, as well as the three major shapes used to translate and create resonant designs in contemporary media. For this masterclass, Telfort will delve deeply into semiotics and the art of communicating abstract ideas through universally accepted design language and aesthetics. The presentation will be a hybrid format, combining lecture and demonstration on ideation and the creation of compelling character designs.
