A4 Week 12 Session 1

Having developed my entire website, including navigation, the main things for me to work on are the text that would be contained on each webpage, and getting feedback from my peers and tutor. The feedback I received was overwhelmingly positive, with advice focusing primarily on helping ease user navigation and readability. This being something I…

A4 Week 11 Session 2

Having investigated the wireframes and, drawing inspiration from the KFC layout especially, I sought to break it down into a grid format in today’s class. By exploring the grid layout of KFC’s interface on both website, and mobile, it helped me develop a stronger idea on the fundamental construction of my website. This was when…

A4 Week 11 Session 1

In class, we focused around developing wireframes. We explored various different websites, and started to break them down into their basic shape language, a tool that I have found invaluable in exploring my own websites direction. In thinking about the website formatting, I drew inspiration from the wireframe of GMAIL and KFC. Thinking about how…

A4 Week 10 Session 2

Having developed some of the thought process for my website, I felt that it would be helpful to dive headfirst into html and begin exploring the tools that I would be using for developing my website. Realising from my previous assignments that if I want to go larger in scope, that it would require more…

A4 Week 10 Session 1

For class we had to answer personal reflective questions to prompt ideas on our own reflection in our final assignment, and a basic introduction to ourselves. Here’s how it turned out! Assignment 1 question: How did you decide on which parts of the existing footage you would use to shape your project? In forming my…

A3 Week 9 Session 1

Having taken the feedback from my play testers, I continued to work on the project by implementing some of their feedback. The first thing I did, was make a brief control display in the bottom left corner. I wrote some code so that the text would fade after a set amount of time so it…

A3 Week 8 Session 2

Having now completed the main navigation and implemented a basic version of the script that will change the buildings colour I handed off a demo version of the build to two of my friends online. I came up with a short questionnaire that I would only show after they had played the demo. The initial…

A3 Week 8 Session 1

Having generated a general idea on the box environment I want to develop, and sketched it out during the previous homework tasks, I set about developing it in unity. I cross referenced my own sketch and sought to recreate it in terms of its basic form language that I had established. Luckily, for the approach…

A3 Week 7 Session 2

Having given some thought to my brainstormed ideas, and some peer discussion, I have decided to focus my core concept being built around this idea of the world lacking colour. This is to represent a point in my life where I felt at my lowest, and as I would walk around, the world would feel…

A3 Week 7 Session 1

For this task I felt there were a few meaningful narratives I could pursue for my environment design. In class, we spoke about conveying a personal journey, one that might hold significance to us, and this resonated with me as a person who loves expressing themselves. I let my mind run wild with brainstorming various…

A2 Week 6 Session 1

In preparing for my final assignment, I continued to make minor adjustments to the icons. In preparing to deliver the final content, I put all the icons on a page, and experimented with the layout. One thing I ran into was that the colour scheme for the individual icons created a divide between the icons…

A2 Week 5 Session 2

I found that throughout my design process between colours and unity in the shape language, that my designs continued to evolve in various ways. This was especially the case when I first brought them into illustrator, where I was able to put their basic forms side by side and think about how to bring them…

A2 Week 5 Session 1

Before beginning my designs in illustrator, I conducted some feedback through my peers and my tutor both in person and online. I asked them to mark the most “attention grabbing” icons so I could further develop them in illustrations. The major reason I chose this approach, is that based in my previous experience as a…

A2 Week 4 Session 2

In reading the Mini-Course in Design Principles I found that the discussion around using the idea of tension to communicate design principles to be fascinating. The author, Rob Roy Kelly provides numerous examples to demonstrate his line of thinking, with utilizing an exercise based around the red ball, and observing how students come up with…

A2 Week 4 Session 1

The black square activity was an excellent way to prompt my design thinking skills. Having come from a background of Design study over the past couple of years, I have some of my own personal ways of approaching the creative process. While I found the black square activity restraining, it was also pushing me creatively…

Week 3 Session 1

For this class I utilized my time to provide feedback to my peers and reflect upon my own work. I received feedback on my 30 second draft I had initially developed to see if the audience could understand the tone I was aiming for. When looking at my peers works, I took note of their…

Week 2 Session 2

With having the broader storyboard in mind for the narrative, I set about gathering all the clips I felt were relevant to communicating my narrative. In my first week, the 30 second clip I developed utilizing my footage was always going to be my climax. The repetitive use of imagery, and continuous cuts to the…

Week 2 Session 1

As spoken about in my blogpost in my first week, I aim to communicate a narrative themed around horror and sudden imagery. Some of the feedback I got in my initial video was about narrative continuity and establishing a sense of story to build up to the climactic finale. My thought process in choice of…

Week 1 Session 2

or session 2 we experimented with some of the basic techniques we learned during the class lecture on a film called Night of the Living Dead. We spent the final half hour of our class getting to experiment with Adobe Premier, in which I got familiar with some of the tools for video editing and…

Week 1 Session 1

For this first assignment of the semester, I was initially thinking of engaging with an external program that I have some experience with. However, after some consideration, I’ve decided to use Premier Pro as an opportunity to skill up in some new software after having engaged with the initial chapters in LinkedIn Learning. After completing…
