“One of the most important steps in becoming a successful video game concept
designer is knowing how best to approach the creation and presentation of
game assets for the rest of the development team. Thierry does a wonderful
job at presenting this process on his first educational DVD. Seeing just how
clear, direct, thorough and concise the design of any character or object
can be executed from start to finish will be a great help to aspiring
concept designers of all levels. This DVD will greatly help with the
refinement of a designers' ideas and how they should go about professionally
presenting those ideas to the video game industry. ”
