Gamespace: Moving End Platform (Movement)

I wanted my last platform to move and say the word 'FINISH' so that the player knows where the end of the landscape is.



Platform Moving Away


Platform Moving Closer

This was the inspector for my moving end platform.
The Script 'Moving End Platform' has been attached to it.


Moving End Platform Inspector

The Vector 3 variable 'initialPosition' is set to private so that it cannot be changed in the inspector.

The 'initialPosition' variable is assigned to the object's location using 'transform.Position' in the Start() function.

In the Update() function, the position of the platform is set using the initial position of the platform (using the variable 'initialPosition') plus the new 3D vector where the X-axis is equal to zero, the Y-axis is equal to zero and the Y-axis is equal to a Sin wave multiplied by three to make the wave bigger. This moves the platform continuously on the Z-axis.

[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
