04/10/22 Illustrator Work

 In today's lesson, we had to use Adobe Illustrator to create vector images. 

To begin with, we started to just play around with the tools available on the software, such as the Selection, Pen, Shape, and Fill tools. By doing this and creating some random shapes, we were able to learn how some of the different tools worked, so that when we progressed to begin creating more professional work, we knew what we were doing.


Later on in the day, we started to use the skills we had learnt earlier, to recreate the Apple logo. We did this, by using the ellipse tool, and the Anchor point tool, as well as some others, to trace the shape of the Apple logo, that we got from google images. We then had to use different opacity and fx effects, to alter what the logo looked like.
At the end of the day, we began to use the techniques from earlier, to start creating a vector image of a coffee pot. 

We did this in a very similar way to the Apple logo, by tracing the shape of an image, using the pen tool, and morphing some of the lines around to fit the shapes better.




Also, throughout the day, we learnt about other things, including hierarchy, alignments, and colour choices. We learnt how by the use of space on a page, different things can seem more or less important, such as using a big font size for the title, will bring attention to that, rather than other things, such as the actors' names, as they will most likely be in a smaller font.

07/12/23 - HTML And Figma Alterations

Image
In today's lesson, we covered a more in depth overview of  the HTML coding language as a follow up from last week's lesson. We looked at html tags again, as a recap, and then went on to write our own basic html code in the notepad app. We then learnt about the different tags to change text to be bold and italicized, as well as how to highlight and sub/superscript text. After this, we learnt about character codes, and how to add links and images into our web pages. Following this, we looked into lists and tables, and finished off the work with how to comment on your code. After this, we were allowed to just work on whatever work we needed to do. For this, I was editing my Figma app, to add in a time and Wi-Fi, service, and battery icons. After I'd added these in, I had to slightly rearrange parts of my pages to all fit in better. I also added in coloured rectangle behind each sections of my app, so that it would be easier to see what pages did what at a quick glance at the f...

10/01/24 - Final Game Session

Image
In today's lesson, I was working on my literature review, as I was for most of yesterday as well after receiving feedback within my morning tutorial. I was finding new sources to reference and add into my work, so that I could discuss the work of different people over many similar topics. However I then had the issue that I was way too far over the 1500 wordcount that I was supposed to be following, so I had to go through my previous work, and cut out or re-word sections that I felt were not as necessary for the overall message that I was trying to get across. In between my writing, I would go and see how the game finalisations were coming along, as Spike was getting ready to export the final game after fixing a couple of small bugs that we had found.

08/01/24 - Presentation, App Updates And Game Run-through

Image
In today's first lesson, I was finishing off my presentation. Although I only had a couple of pages left to finish, I needed to ask some questions on how to complete these sections as I wanted to make them as accurate as possible. I then thought of another feature to add to my app, which was a premium membership subscription, so I had to create another page to represent google, as when you press the button it will open a new google page to buy a membership.  I added a few different options for the membership, so that people can feel like they have options, and even added in a student discount option so that students with a lower or no income feel like they are getting a good deal and will be more likely to buy the membership. In today's second lesson, I was continuing to work on this presentation and app page, as our game group is basically finished and I can't really contribute much else for completion. Earlier in the week Spike had told us about how the church model wasn...
