#themed entertainment design

[theme-park-concepts]

Hi newbies to tumblr. You like theme parks? We got theme parks over here. Read the irregular musings of an overqualified themed entertainment fan here! With all your favorite topics like: immersion is a feeling not a type of design. And: accessibility is good. And: here's this random thing about storytelling I'm fixating on at 2am. Bringing you chronic overthinking about entertainment since 2015. A relic of a bygone time that somehow keeps ticking on. An overly verbose writer that is prone to saying the same thing three different ways.

Come join. All are welcome. Bring your own dole whip.

This design is partially inspired by the ShowBiz Pizza concept unification tape bc I’m obsessed with it as well as some lowkey creepy bear mascot costumes I found on Pinterest, I like the idea of them having realistic bear claws and retractable teeth for the intimidation factor, their eyes are also security cameras bc the census bureau sees all lolz

#there u go this is explicitly qsmp art #as opposed to my slimecicle fanart that could be interpreted differently lol #this seems like a very simple design but I put a lot of thought into it #the shapes of it were very fun to work with #my art #qsmp #qsmp fanart #qsmp census bureau #qsmp osito bimbo #qsmp cucurucho #why does this motherfucker have so many names #Yes I know this is very fnaf like of me but I’m allowing myself to be cringe #its my THEMED ENTERTAINMENT special interest NOT fnaf #mcyt #mcyt fanart #quackity smp

penny for ur thoughts on themed entertainment? 0.0

Oh where to begin!

Can I just say that the best part (at least my personal favorite part) of going to any theme park or a themed resort is those first couple of minutes after walking through the entrance!!!

It’s like you just stepped through a portal into a place that’s DESIGNED to make you feel like you’re at the center of it all. And in those first couple of minutes you are filled with excitement and possibility because you are at the beginning!

Also I’ll add that I love that the purpose/ goal behind themed entertainment is literally to make people happy. Their is so much love put into the craft of designing these places and if you look close enough your always finding something new (especially learning about hidden details and inside jokes designers have implicated into the artworks I’m always excited to discover those!!!)

Every time I have the pleasure to going to one of these places I study everythingggg posters, the floor design, murals, architecture, signage (even the bathroom ones!), merchandise, themed food and drink options, the background music, characters, plant choices, water features, animatronics (no surprise there hehe), lighting, how they handle transitions into two differently themed zones, EVERYTHING!!!

The fact that these places are meant to be enjoyed in company. If I could I would take all of my beloved mutuals with me on a roadtrip to themed entertainment paradise :DDDD

#one of the main reasons I was so obsessed with security breach was because its expansion of grand themed entertainment #I want so desperately to just explore the map without being chased by the Faz cast haha #DCA please wscort me so I may take notes on all the designs in the game #I have all the security breach poster animations saved somewhere #anywhoooo thank you beloved moot for prompting my obsession #and thank you for the succulent advice I see a bright future for my lil guys #I think all the dca community has to share some love for themed entertainment if we got here #fawning over some sun and moon themed robot jesters that were rebranded into daycare attendants #dca community #beloved moots

(baz wears heelies and rune is transfem. this is important to me.) the show scenes are hard to explain without the full dark ride, but they're the ones i was asked to illustrate.. so. here for archival purposes. logos on the buttons made by my teammate who doesn't have tumblr.

#okay see you guys in the summer i really wanna draw more.. #original character #oc #storyboards #themed entertainment #character design #original art #uhh what else. silly !!!

Hello friends!, excited to announce I made a class! It’s just a one hour lecture, but if there’s enough positive reception, I’m definitely thinking about making followups (and it’ll eventually also be available on a yet to be announced platform). 

There’s been a gap in the discourse and literature around themed entertainment, even in the academic world, and I really wanted to try to create something to hopefully attempt to fill it. This is the lecture I’ve always hoped to get, but never have. 

So yeah, if long rambling lectures about themed entertainment sound interesting to you, be sure to check it out and share!

AMC Studio 30 Theatre - Houston, TX (1997)

"What the design attempts to do in the 110,000 sq. ft. space is simulate a movie studio backlot and the soundstage where guests become part of the action, and the experience "rekindles the magic and memory of movie going."

Elements from sound stages and studio road cases make up the central lobby space along with a guest service desk. Images of Hollywood's glamorous stars of the past add enchantment to the balcony walls. The space is divided into three themed areas that "transport guests into fantastic worlds of Animation, Action/Adventure and Cyberspace." The food concession stands within each area carries through the theme; "Fizz, Sizzle, Pop"; Wildebeest Feast"; and "Quantum Bits." The 30 auditoria are located off the soundstage lobby and within the various themed areas.

The architecture seems to come alive in the Animation area. The space is designed to resemble an animation cel: "flat, two-dimensional, cartoon-like graphics are outlined with black lines, filled with color and applied on an exaggerated scale." The Fizz, Sizzle, Pop concession's identity and blimp directional signs seem to float in a blue sky with flat, cut-out clouds. The setting for Action/ Adventure recalls a rainforest with heavy hanging leaves, bamboo and rock "carved" directional signs. The custom wall covering features petroglyphs of cave people carrying popcorn, megaphones and movie cameras. The fiber optic eyes peering from behind the leaves in the Wildebeest Feast stand change color. They also appear above rock outcroppings down the corridor. Patrons are invited to explore an abstract, futuristic world in Cyberspace where the floor and ceiling are the same color and brushed aluminum columns rise partway to the ceiling. To create the illusion of "endless space." custom light fixtures project beams of light along the walls and backlit graphic images have neon edges. Various colored lights and a high-tech fluorescent green/orange acrylic sign help to define the Quantum Bits concession area in Cyberspace."

Black woman’s skin turns blue from powers; is this whitewashing/erasure?

Anonymous asked:

I have a character in a comic I'm hoping to write one day. She's a light skinned black woman(she's half white if that helps!) living in New York City during an 80s themed post nuclear apocalypse. The comic's main characters are all rock stars, so a lot of the character design elements revolve around the different rock genres. The character in question is in a glam rock band, so there's lots of bright, saturated, crazy colors involved in her design. The problem I'm having involves this one story beat where she gets mutant superpowers that give her electricity and sound based abilities. Her skin turns cotton candy blue as a result of the mutation. I'm hung up on whether or not this might fall under some kind of skin lightening or white-washing trope since it's a fairly light shade of blue. I designed her mutant look before her human look, so this was well before I'd even figured out what race she was, and I simply thought the shade of blue would compliment both the electricity powers and the fact that her hair is dyed pink. Is there a way I could still make this work? Or am I worrying about nothing?

Ideally, it would be nice to keep her brown skin tone. There’s a common comic and supernatural trend where Black people’s skin is covered up by a suit or Black-coded characters are an unnatural color (blue, green, purple, etc).

This is more of an issue when: 

There are no other Black characters of those identities besides the covered up/ ones with unnatural skin colors.

The creator adds this change to make them "special" because they do not believe Black characters, with features commonly associated with Black people like dark hair, skin and eyes, are acceptable enough for the character to stand on their own.

The supernatural special Black people are treated well by the story. The "non-special" Black people have unhappy stories and misfortune.

Other races of characters do not get their skin covered up or changed. Only the Black ones and/or BIPOC in general.

I think a quick fix for this would be for her skin to turn blue when she’s actively using her powers, at random, or other specific times, besides constantly. If she needs to be more consistently “mutant looking” Are there other ways she could change without her skin color changing or changing completely?

More ideas that keep her skin brown

Hair

Her hair color changes blue or your color of choice (which could include body hair too, which would give her a more “otherworldly” appearance).

Note: If her hair is curly or natural, please keep it so! At least, the powers shouldn't change it straight.

Eyes

Her eyes glowing brighter or colorfully during power-use.

Note: If they're usually brown, they could stay brown when powers not in use, like Marvel's Storm in some versions.

Skin and body

Blue patterns appear on her skin.

Blue glow or sheen to her skin without fully changing the color.

Her skin projects color and light.

New growths or changes to body, such as ear shape, wings, etc.

No matter what you decide, please make clear in your tale that she’s a Black mixed race woman. And have fun!
