[Part 2] Design Experimentation (4CTA1214)

Design Experimentation

My first idea was based on the Earth being polluted and that the whole population are trying to find a new planet to live on. The purpose of the spaceship was to salvage some of the museum's objects so that they aren't left behind on an uninhabitable planet with no one left to see them.

After developing this idea, this was used as my final project.

My second idea was based on a pirate theme where intergalactic pirates have stolen the newest futuristic objects from the Science/Technology museum.


My third idea involves the user using a computer to access the museum digitally. In the future, I imagined that things such as museums are all uploaded onto a master web where anyone can access them at any time.

When the user moves the real mouse, the mouse on the screen would move.


My fourth idea involves using the tube to view the different museum objects by visiting stations on the tube map. As the science museum is based in London I thought this idea would fit quite well.

Developing Idea 1


Looking into idea 1 in more detail using a mind map and deciding on what frames to include in the final project.


Object Designs

Experimenting with the designs for my objects and backgrounds.

Logo Designs


 Experimenting with different logo designs for the Science Museum.



My final logo design, used in my final project.

Characters


I wanted to have a tour guide to show the user around the spaceship and give them instructions on navigation; therefore I designed a character to do this.




This was my final astronaut character design after illustration, which was used in my final project.

Unfortunately there are some known problems found with my Adobe Flash project while I was testing. Any buttons that navigate back to the 'Start' frame (Frame 1) to restart the movie, will work in the sense that the scene is played however when the spaceship is clicked to start the movie, the spaceship button doesn't navigate to the next frame. I believe this is due to the stop(); commands used but I can't seemed to identify the exact issue.

Unity Project 4: Ball platformer game

Finished game displayed in the scene view. Scene view Assets Uses Rigidbody so that the ball can use physics (Gravity) therefore it doesn't fall through the ground. The 'Rolling Ball' script is attached to the ball which adds force to the ball. Ball Inspector Scene view displaying the invisible cube object which can be used as a trigger for an event. Scene view When the console prints 'COLLIDED', the ball has collided with a specific object (Invisible cube). Console Message The invisible cube that is attached to the 'Trigger' script. When an object does not have a mesh renderer, the object becomes invisible as we cannot see it due to it not having a mesh. Cube Inspector Field of view changed, so that the ball can be seen from a slightly different angle. Follow target script also attached allowing a first person type view of the ball as the camera is set to follow the ball's movement. The camera can be moved so tha

[Research] Traditional Poster Design (4CTA1214)

Image
As you can see from the superman poster, there are only four main colours used which includes red, blue, yellow and brown. All elements are filled in with block colours with no shading which was a common colour theme for traditional posters of this kind. This poster may have been used to advertise a new Superman comic or movie depending on the year it was created. The expression on the characters face fits the title shown on the poster explaining that he is returning. This poster advertised Coca Cola, and looks as though this specific poster was used in the USA - due to the currency used. The whole aim of the poster is to incorporate this drink into working peoples daily lives. This is seen by the slogan, 'Work refreshed' and the small graphics on the bottom right of the poster. Displayed is a man working in a factory environment and a lady is working in an office environment both drinking cola during their breaks - to feel refreshed. In some ways the bottle and
