Reflection

I was exposed to a totally alien piece of software via IVN. Working with pixel-based tools like Photoshop or digital sketching applications is considerably different from using Illustrator for the first time, as I did for this subject. I initially had no idea how to use Illustrator, but this lesson gradually gave me the basics and allowed me to get the feel of it. When I look back on my work, I am astounded to see how it developed from the Vormator challenge, which was so basic and simple, to the final motion comics, which were incredibly intricate and fascinating. However, I am ready to move on to the next phase of my study.

I'll confess that using Illustrator for such intricate work was quite difficult, but I was determined to succeed. In a program I had never used before, all of these assignments and the in-class exercises helped me quickly improve my abilities, and I am really happy with my progress thus far. Because I enjoy telling tales and creating comics, animations, and other similar media, the original motion comic was by far my favorite assignment. Since telling stories is my genuine interest, I think my skills lay in activities like this that involve telling stories, while there are certain technical elements of using Illustrator that I could get better at.

Since I'm still learning the program, it would be really beneficial for me to keep using it and picking up new abilities. Overall, IVN was a lot of fun and taught me a lot about myself in addition to teaching me new skills. I am extremely pleased that this program has helped me to clarify my objectives for my design study. I still have a lot to learn about creating visual stories and utilizing Adobe Illustrator, but I'm ready to go on to the next phase of my education.

Final Eportfolio - Games Development

 Exercise Week 1 Adam's Nightmare  The concept of this game is similar to Limbo, by using silhouettes, and dreamlike design elements. The game is designed so that the users interpret their own stories. This creates a mystery that can be a profound experience for gamers. However, the gameplay could be drastically improved. For instance, the game basically revolves around jumping over obstacles and pushing or dragging different elements to progress within the "nightmare". However, the physics of the jumping is not responsive enough for the obstacle courses within the levels. the dragging and pushing are also designed in a way that causes the game to feel unrealistic. for instance, when the user tries to pull a box, the character seems to have the "force", so it could pull objects without actually touching them. The difficulty of the game is also a problem. Usually, difficulty levels scale within the game in a way where easier levels are

EXPERIENTIAL DESIGN - TASK 3 : CREATIVE EXPERIENCE DESIGN PROJECT PROTOTYPE Jason Antony / 0356335 / Bachelor of Design in Creative Media Experiential Design Task 3 : Creative Experience Design Project Prototype November 5, 2023 TASK Instructions The prototype will enable the students to discover certain limitations that they might not have learnt about before. They’ll have to creatively think about how to overcome the limitations to materialize their proposed ideas. The objective of this task is for the students to test out the key functionality of their project. The output may not necessarily be a finished visually designed project. The students will be gauged on their prototype functionality and their ability to creatively think of alternatives to achieve the desired outcome.  Progression I started the project by looking at some 3D models for the cells on sketchfab, but then I found out there is a sketchfab plugin on unity. I then exported the 3d model into the AR Scene.  Once I exp

EXPERIENTIAL DESIGN - Final Task Jason Antony / 0356335 / Bachelor of Design in Creative Media Experiential Design Task 4: Creative Experience Design Project December 15, 2023 Coming from the prototype I've improved several parts of the app. **1. AR Scene:**    - In the AR scene, I experienced the heart of our educational AR app. Here, I harnessed the incredible capabilities of Unity's AR Foundation to bring cell biology to life. By simply tapping on the screen of my mobile device, I was able to place a 3D model of a cell into my real-world environment. It was awe-inspiring to see the cell model seamlessly blend with my surroundings. I used Sketchfab to import the 3d model and create the labels. Then I made the object able to rotate, zoom, and move using a plugin called Lean Touch.  **2. Notebook Scene:**    - The Notebook scene was like opening a digital textbook on my mobile device. It was designed to be viewed in portrait mode, offering a comfortable reading experience. The
