Friday!
Today is officially the beginning of the first task of the last assignment on this Digital Graphics for Interactive Media unit. Coming in, the first thing I did was write a message in the thank you card for Becci, the art club host. She has been an amazing help into my art influences. Throughout the day, I have also been giving out presents and a hard drawn card to tutors around the centre.
We held another quiz on Kahoot, created by Tom L. It was about U35_A2 in general and therefore I was really familiar with this, although I had misclicked. Excuses excuses eh? :P Anyway, I came second and Jordan B came first, winning the dual monitors. I would like to come first next time by trying harder! The loser was Brandon B, and he has to make the quiz again lol.
Afterwards, Adam went through U35_A3T1 with us by doing an activity where we explore the criteria altogether. This is really helpful because it helps me understand exactly what I need to do, this has been a strength. There are no weaknesses. When we began, I started to design my digital graphics. For this, I have to choose my final concept and create a logo, a web banner, a GIF, a roll over and a navigation bar.
Throughout the designs, I have been using Adobe Illustrator to produce the correct graphics. This is because my designs are heavily influenced by flat designs and vector images, therefore Adobe AI was the best solution. I used a variety of shapes and I have once again explored the use of shapes further by looking at other references online. This helps understand the industry practice and standards even more.
After lunch, we all continued with our work. To reflect throughout the day, I believe I have achieved a suitable amount of work. Although I was a little slow, I worked at a pace that was best for me which enabled quality over quantity. I aim to work on my portfolio creation and complete the asset creations + documentation at home. My weakness would be my uncertainty on understanding the roll over and navigation bar creations.
At the end of the day, I will be having my final art club session with Becci.
