Environment Design (Theia and Borp)

Done in year 2 (2021) for The Adventures of Theia and Borp. The Adventures of Theia and Borp is a whimsical slice of life show set in space where Theia, Borp and her alien classmates get into daily shenanigans around the asteriod, and so our task was to create environments for the story. It started off with designing rocks, plants and trees-- the nature in the environment. Since I had chosen 'Winter Expedition' and '1960s Vintage', I focused on creating a vibrant and fun environment for where the people lived. The 1960s was when many toys were invented and became increasingly accessible, so the factor of childhood fun and the colour scheme of those toys came to mind, and so I decided to implement a 'Play culture' in my asteroid such that the residential estate would have utilities that were also fun, like ladders and ice slides. (inspired by those incredible ice sculptures that can even be converted into playgrounds) Putting winter, a usually dull and even perceivably dangerous season with the welcoming retro 1960s. and later play culture, was very fun to explore.

A culture where the living environment was made to be very fun for children but also useful for everyday movement. Play culture is integrated into the residents' daily lives and childlike joy and wonder always permeates the air.
