Shape Psychology in Character Design | Multimedia Analysis and Breakdown
In this video I cover how shape psychology and shape language is used in character design. I go over different media from video games to animated television. I cover the basic shapes of squares, circles, and triangles. I also go over some other concepts to do with design language. There is also a section on what is conveyed when shapes are combined. Comments and criticism are welcome.

Don't tell anyone this but this is like the 4th time I've uploaded this video. I kept noticing spelling mistakes and editing errors in previous versions.
