Building Assets

After having looked at some of the slower things that go into making a site, i really need to begin looking at the flow diagram of my own. With this i need to begin to work out who will actually be at my event in terms of speakers, presenters and artists. This way i can decide on an appropriate schedule for my fictitious event, thus decide who will be the main speaker, and therefore deciding how the site will work together in itself, giving the most weight to the most important people.

I am limiting myself in terms of creators i can pick from of course by refining my event as much as i am, but that said, with concept/character/environmental concept art being the field i wish to go in myself, i know a huge amount of concept artists that should make up a wonderful event. I have mentioned a few already, such as James White (a speaker at OFFF 2012) and Ryan Church (Thos/Star Trek into Darkness) but many of the other designers i wish to include have worked on many things from games to films to tv shows to digitally affected paintings.

The artists i wish to include will have to be categorised, due to the fluidity of the website, and also to plan specific events around them, such as workshops, talks etc. With this in mind, i think it would be best to collect their assets and then place them in certain categories in order to make a fluid chart of who will sit where.
The first task will be placing these artists into speciality, specifically looking at their works, deciding whether they should be places in Environmental art talks, or Character design talks.

From this i will then work through genre specialities, focussing both on groupings and specific skill sets.
