Inspiration for This Work

This was my major work for the year. The characters were influenced by the Pixar-Disney style. The story was inspired by the childhood emotion of fear upon realizing that you’ve done something wrong. It is aimed at children.

Student Biography

When were you born?

1987.

What is your background?

Nicolette was born and raised in Sydney, Australia. She grew up in a loving family who provided her with a diverse range of enriching life experiences.

What inspired you to become an artist or designer?

Nicolette has always had a passion for stories. During her childhood, she keenly absorbed and sought out all kinds of tales - from cartoons, television show and movies, through to novels and video games. This love of narrative inspired Nicolette to become a storyteller herself. She has been creating her own stories and characters since early childhood.

Who would you like to work in collaboration with or create something for?

Nicolette would feel privileged if given the honour of working or creating content for any film or animation studio. She is convinced that all such experiences would help her to grow as an artist. She is particularly interested in collaborating with crews working on 3D animations which remain faithful to, and fully exploit, the principles of animation.

How has your work evolved over the past 3 years?

Nicolette’s university journey has helped her to take her work to a professional level. The past 3 years has provided her with opportunities to explore and obtain industry level skills, while producing high quality refined visual stories for her student projects. Her projects included photographic series, short films in video and animation, and interactive multimedia adventures.

How can art and design contribute to society?

Nicolette believes that art and design are essential for a balanced society. Such cultural fields not only provide the public with new perspectives and interesting things to look at, but also offer them a much needed escape from reality. Art and design further give people flowing with creativity and emotion the chance to channel their energies and talents into something productive.

Where would you like to work after university?

Nicolette is keen to work wherever opportunities in film and animation exist. She is willing to move from state to state, and country to country to build up her experience base. Upon maturing enough as an artist, Nicolette hopes to eventually settle down with a production company.
