\u201cWhat a regrettably large head you have. I would very much like to hat it.<\/em>\u201d – The Mad Hatter, Alice in the Wonderland<\/em><\/p>\n

This month, Animation Desk is launching its Mad Hatter: Hat Our Logo!<\/em> contest. This is the chance for you to design the most original and crazy headwear for the Animation Desk logo. From March 20<\/u> until April 3<\/u>\u00a0we invite you to be The Mad Hatter. The winners will win The Mad Hatter Award with prizes and have their hat design featured as App Store and Google Play logo or on the Facebook page of Animation Desk. So get ready to go mad<\/em>!<\/p>\n

Be the #MadHatter: Design a hat for Animation Desk’s logo!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As a part of the quest to unleash the great animator in you, Animation Desk’s blog posts have taken you on a journey looking at the very essence of animation. In the series of tutorials from last year\u2019s #AD4EVER Back to Basics<\/em><\/a>, we have learnt that movement and timing are the essence of good animation. iAniMagic2016: My Ani-Character<\/em><\/a> has brought the focus back to the protagonists of the animation to help you improve your character animation. This time with the Mad Hatter: Hat Our Logo!<\/em> Facebook contest, we are going to dig even deeper into the visuals of the characters and invite you to think about how to make your characters even more distinctive.<\/p>\n

While a lot of brain juice has been used to plan what the character is going to do, let\u2019s not forget about the actual visual appearance of your character. Props and clothing can help emphasise character traits and their background. Just think about Woody from Toys Story: he needs his cowboy hat to complete his wild-wild west look; Mickey Mouse needs his wizard Sorcerer\u2019s hat to celebrate the magic in Disneyland and the Red Queen from Alice in the Wonderland must have her mini crown sitting on her red puffy hair to show her highness. Accessories can be the more literal expression of your character\u2019s persona.<\/p>\n
