Reality Resort Prop Designs
2024-Present
Reality Resort is an ongoing YouTube animated series created by Cove and is inspired by various reality competition shows such as Big Brother. In the show, 16 contestants are invited to stay in a luxury resort to compete for the grand prize of $250,000.
After the first episode’s premiere, I became a fan of the project and applied for the props/assets artist position and have been working on prop designs for the show since August 2024. I’ve designed various props from scratch, based on supplied concept art, or alternate versions of premade designs. All designs were produced from Illustrator with direction from either Cove or one of the storyboard/layout artists.

Aside from props, I’ve helped design a few graphics such as lower thirds used when characters are giving testimonials to the audience. The idea was to take the teams’ pre-designed logos and add a lower third with the characters’ names and occupation, with the graphic having a slanted edge for a sense of energy and action. I initially designed the still graphic and our storyboard director, Angie, created a template for how they could be animated. Since then, I’ve used her template to produce new lower thirds for future episodes. I was also tasked with designing a brand new logo for the project, for both the YouTube channel and Patreon page. The design is based on the Legacy Idol as seen in the show, using the visual of a bird, which is a running motif in the show (teams are named Emus and Toucans, and there’s the recurring seagull characters, Sealia). Just as birds are always watching us from above, the cameras always rolling and watching every move in reality TV.
