Disney Imaginations 2016: Monster Recruitment Rally
Nadia Kim and Stephanie Burtner teamed up to answer WDI's prompt: create an experience that can travel to small towns, be set up within a day, and that families and friends could enjoy together. Our project made it to the finals, for the 25th anniversary of the wonderful Imaginations competition! It was an incredible experience. Here is our final presentation, but first, some words from Disney:
The project was conceived by the California State University, Fullerton Team and created for the 2016 Walt Disney Imagineering’s Imaginations Design Competition. This project is the sole property of Walt Disney Imagineering and all rights to use these ideas are exclusive to Walt Disney Imagineering. The competition is a way for students and recent graduates to showcase their talents and for Walt Disney Imagineering to identify new talent
Monsters University and Monster Inc. have teamed up to recruit new young monsters to try their hand at becoming scarers. Guests can explore the Scarefloor and the use doors to visit the campus of Monsters University, and meet other monsters, including some exclusive to this event that are similar to the monsters in the guests' local folklore. One of the main features is the Scare Games. Guests register their party as a team and play each game to win points. Guests then redeem their points for prizes. Don't forget to visit the Abominable Snowman, whose door is accidentally left out! He's got delicious snowcones (in flavors other than lemon)!
I was the Team Leader for this project, and did illustrations, concept design, brainstorming and concept development. Some of the thumbnails, process, and illustrations (with notes) I worked on here:
Astra
Astra (tentative title) is a themed pavilion that could be placed inside a theme park or act as a stand-alone indoor experience. This project is inspired by retro-futurism and 50's space age design.
The backstory: Astra is a fictional space port on a distant planet. Astra is home to scientists and their families and is now open to the public. Guests can help with the exploration and documentation of the planet and it's alien wildlife on different attractions. Guests can also enjoy the leisure floor built for the port's residents, which features a mini amusement park. The experience is literally topped off with a restaurant on the top of the port.
*This project was done in 2015-2016, and is not representative of my full illustrative abilities today, however, I am keeping it on here as a display of my blue-sky, brainstorming skills.*
