Role: Storyboarding, Character Design

Dates: 2020

The Veterans Administration (VA) project is a series of instructional, animated, explainer videos for VA staff, veterans, and healthcare managers or providers. I collaborated with the University of Colorado Denver to create vector assets and high-fidelity storyboards to set the visual tone for these videos. Throughout this project, I worked on a team with several other designers to create these storyboards in accordance with the VA’s style guide and brand in mind. We each were responsible for 1-3 pages of a script and were expected to work in tandem with each other’s designs so there were no style gaps in between storyboards. Once storyboards were presented to the VA and approved, we prepped files for animation.


Creative Workflow Breakdown:

  • Receive and annotate the script

  • Sketch out rough storyboards to match the scenes in the script

  • Vectorize storyboards

  • Submit for approval

  • Edit storyboards

  • Submit for approval (2)

  • Post-approval: prepare Illustrator files for animation (characters with joints, assets that need to move must be on separate layers, layout typography)
