  • iteration is about quantity, exploring design in its purest form, and focusing on storytelling and visual impact.
  • visual impact in Silhouettes is achieved through shape diversity, clarity, and accuracy.
  • Methods for creating Silhouettes include hand drawing, lasso tool, and sketch and fill.
  • To continue iterating, use the paper doll method or lateral exploration to generate new ideas.
  • Silhouettes should be visually appealing, with clear communication of the concept and accurate fundamentals.
  • The iterative process involves drawing as many designs as possible to select the most promising ideas.
  • The mission is to create at least 50 Silhouettes of a character, using the reference board for inspiration and exploring design possibilities.
