BBC Jam: French Learning.
Characters & designs for the ill-fated BBC Jam. This was just a small part of the BBC’s efforts to provide online learning covering almost every subject in the British school curriculum. The brief here was to turn “live-action” (actors) characters from a short series of French learning films into cartoon characters we could use for online games & tasks such as putting together comic strips. Jam ended in tatters leaving a lot of contributors who had put their heart & soul into this fantastic project, utterly deflated. We believed in the project & speaking for myself, believed it would help children with their studies. It’s downfall was a great shame.

Character designs for BBC Jam online learning games & animations, made in Flash. This was also for Jam’s French learning section. The brief was to create a series of characters from a fictional TV studio that students could use to make & edit their own short films in French.
