Welcome To My Blog :))

 Hiiii, and welcome to my blog!!


1. A little introduction about me:

My name is Nyssa, and I am currently 19 years old starting my first year at the University of Hertfordshire, studying Digital Media Design. 


Some interesting facts about me, are:

That I have been doing archery for almost ten years now, starting when I was only nine years old, and I still very much enjoy the sport, even though it is quite uncommon. 

I have a dog at home. Her name is Rin (It's Japanese), she is 5 years old, her birthday is valentine's day (February 14th), and she is a Cavachon (Half Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and half Bichon Frisé).

I enjoy watching YouTube/television, listening to music, and reading in my spare time. I enjoy a very varied range of music genres with a majority being foreign languages, my favourites being a German band named Tokio Hotel, and a range of Korean pop (Kpop) groups, such as NCT and Stray Kids. And my favourite authors are David Levithan and Alice Oseman, who writes the Heartstopper series (which has now become a Netflix adapted series), as well as some other books.


2. What do I find interesting in 'Digital Media Design'?:

I personally find a lot of subjects interesting within the course of Digital Media Design. Having studied very similar courses since my GCSE's, I have already covered a range of subjects such as easy character design creations, Photoshop techniques, and basic website designs using quite basic code. I have thoroughly enjoyed learning these skills in past years, so I am very excited to learn more to do with app and website design, as well as being able to upgrade my knowledge on topics that i have covered previously.


3. What do I hope to achieve over the next 3 years studying this course?:

Over the next three years, whilst studying this course, I hope to really increase my skill set and learn how to create a more diverse range of media forms, such as game and app design, as I find these subjects very interesting.

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...
