basic coding to animation to level design : long day

Have been working on basic coding with the class to produce trees, sky and floor. as I have done coding before it was familiar to grasp.

we have started simple but we will move onto more complex things such as designing a level using only code.

the end product of the code:

I also finished my self portrait on flash I used only the paintbrush and fill tools and am very pleased with the end result:

i used a picture of myself as inspiration for the portrait as it would be a lot harder to draw myself from memory.

in the afternoon we were left to create a mood board in our group with no help, it started with mass confusion as we felt we had been thrown in at the deep end and we made slow progress but eventually we got ourselves sorted and realised that structure is key and having set targets.

we sorted ourselves into 4 groups to make 4 mood boards in which we eliminated the useless images to show only the most useful ones. we then came up with ideas for our futuristic street such as what shops to have in it, we brainstormed then gave each group a set shop to design, in my group we each designed a fruit shop and then only used the best qualities from all our work to create the perfect one.

This is my idea in which many aspects were used in the final idea:

The final design was:

all in all i felt i had learned alot and started to understand how to work in a huge team.
