Environmental Storytelling: Paul Julian

Looney Tunes backgrounds are minimalist in style, solid, and detailed, which makes them stood out from other modern cartoons backgrounds. Paul Julian is one of the background designer for Looney Tunes who filled the animated cartoon with amazing backgrounds. The most prominent characteristic in Julian's background designs is the 2D flat and bold coloured foreground done in separate cels. It gives contrast to the more toned down background which allows the characters to move around a space. He also uses textures to stylise the backgrounds, and make them look more realistic.


Julian's background designs possess top notch aesthetic quality, yet does not compromises their functionality. For instance, the backgrounds below are extended beyond the screen sizes which enable camera panning, while details in the designs allows the camera to capture realistic shots when it zooms in.
