Sketches



Fig 1.8 - Sketch #1

This is my desk, a place of familiarity to me. I spend my time working, relaxing with music, playing games, watching movies or calling friends. It has become a place of comfort and happiness, a place where I return to after a long day. 




Fig 1.9 - Sketch #2

I wanted to express the serenity of fountains and nature combined. The sight of the water flowing from the fountain as well as the ducks swimming in the background gives a calming effect. Being here makes me feel at peace and be grateful for the small things in life.


Feedback for the week (Week 9)
Sketch #1: Can use vibrant colors for the 1st sketch, study workplace layouts and reference lively-looking ones

Sketch #2: Maybe have the whole lake going across the page and have an aerial view to capture the fountain nicely



Fig 2.0 - Progress

I decided to develop my first sketch into digital format using Adobe Illustrator. Ms Jinchi gave me advice on making the workplace feel more at home by adding snacks for example so I decided to try it out.

Feedback for the week (Week 10)

Add elements that help represent how you feel/ what sense do you get from this place.




Fig 2.1 - Final

This is the final design of my workplace. I use vibrant colors to represent comfort, happiness and creativity as well as being in a lively space boosts my creativity. Originally, I did not have anything on the wall in my sketch so I added extra details to add more life to the workplace.

Reflections

This project has helped me improve on my Illustrator skills as well as taught me what makes a place have meaning and how it makes you feel. It was tough to figure out the coloring and objects to include to give the desired sense but I am glad I managed to finish it.

Gameplay has some accessibility through allowing multiple options for movement by either using WASD or Arrow Keys. The sound effects fits smoothly with the visuals along with the background music fitting for the visual themes of the game, contrasting the enraging nature of the actual gameplay. About the gameplay, the initial level design is cool, slowly introducing more controls to help ease the player into the mode. However, having only 1 HP from terrain elements raised the difficulty of the game. It is as critical as avoiding any mistake from touching terrain elements, which ...

To understand websites better, we are tasked to analyze TWO websites from this link . A brief summary of analyzing 2 websites was written so we can take note and improve our understanding of the design,  layout, content, and functionality, strengths and weaknesses about websites. The websites I chose to analyze were Simply Chocolate and Torgerson Design Partners .  Here is my analysis for each website. Simply Chocolate Landing page looks clean and gives an easy introduction. The big white text is clear and readable but the smaller texts of white can be harder to see as the background is also of light color. The menu texts on the side are placed sideways, making it harder to read quickly or rep...
