project development #1

project one:

Development for project one has been difficult considering I do not have much experience coding. However, I made another small game for my other course and that experience has helped me in some aspects. I know enough of the basics to create a very simple game, but I’m not confident that I will be able to code this game into exactly what I want. I may have to settle for having a much simpler game than I wanted. At first I had considered having the game include words that maybe the player would have to match to better link it towards my ‘language’ topic, but I’m no longer sure this will be possible considering I am already struggling to code the most basic aspects. Currently, I have the moving blocks and they can be placed on top of each other. My next steps are to remove overhang from the edges and create a scoring system.

project two:

Development for project two has been much simpler. I used to do graphic design so I have much more experience in this field. I have made preliminary sketches as to what I want to do and a few basic outlines in Photoshop. Below are some images of these sketches. I decided that the enlistment poster idea was best as it felt the most creative and visually interesting. My first steps were looking at inspiration online, most of it being real enlistment posters from various countries and wars around the world. There were a lot of themes and similarities across them (fonts, bordering, colour palettes etc.) so I made sure to write these down in my sketches and try to include them in my outcome.
