18/11/23 - Charettes Work

Over the weekend, I was working on the Global Charettes Project with the rest of my group.

I was tasked along with Mosad to illustrate the sketch that had been drawn for the UK representing social media post, and come up with a description to go alongside it.

I began creating my design on Adobe Animate, as that's the software that I felt most comfortable using. I decided that I would work on illustrating the background and puppet, if Mosad would work on the surrounding objects representing the other countries' cultures, which he agreed with. 




I started by working on the background, as I thought that this would be the easiest section. I followed the suggested wooden unit background of the sketch, which was based off of the main poster, and tried to keep the same colour palette and artistic style as what others had used, so that all of our work looked as similar as possible.

I then started working on the puppet's design. To do this, I used the design that other group members had already created, and tried my best to replicate it, so that it looked almost identical to the original puppet which would be on the main poster design. I had to make sure that I drew each part of this puppet on different layers, because the group members who were going to animate the posts asked it to be done this way, as it would be easier to add motion to.
I then had to convert my work into Illustrator, as that is the software that everyone else had been using to work on. When I converted it over, everything merged onto one layer, so I had to re-separate everything, which luckily didn't take too long.


Mosad then sent me over his completed work, and I compiled everything together, separating his work into separate layers as well, and sent the finished version over to be animated.

I then had to come up with a description and hashtag for the social media post, describing the image and including a hashtag, this is what I came up with:

Welcome to the UK!

In our post based off of Cultural Differences, we’re showing off some of our favourite features of the culture, such as Big Ben and a delicious plate of Fish and Chips. We’ve also included some items to represent other cultural features such as a Sphinx, Eye of Hours to represent Egypt, and a Hibiscus rosa-sinensis – The national flower of Malaysia. We love seeing these items around our representative puppet to unite all of our cultural differences.

#UnityWithinDiversity

I was quite happy with this, although someone else within the group changed it slightly to be:

Welcome to the UK!

 Lets show off some of our favourite features of the culture !! From one corner of the world, we've got Big Ben and delicious Fish and Chips from the UK, on the other we have the Sphinx and Eye of Horus, and from Malaysia, a Hibiscus rosa-sinensis – The national flower of Malaysia. We love seeing these items around our representative puppet to unite all of our cultural differences.

#UnityWithinDiversity

I think this worked well as a description, and I was happy with the work that I had put in to the final piece for the project.

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...
