Talking Threads: Costume Design for Animation, Games and Illustration

Understand the “five functions” of costume design and how outfitting your characters correctly communicates not only their individual style, but the structure of their society, the setting and theme of your story, and so much more. (For example: A Sailor Moon t-shirt and mustard-stained yoga pants to describe an animation journalist thriving under WFH protocols.) Each chapter is packed with creative exercises, tutorials, inspiration and insights from five pros (Jessie Kate, Gwyn Conaway, Rebecca BlackGliko, Maria Kercher and Blythe Russo) to spark your inner stylist.
