Gamespace: Moving Platform

Moreover, I wanted to include a moving platform to make my Gamespace more exciting and add difficulty. This functionality was added before I re-coloured the assets.


Platform moving up


Platform moving down


The 'Moving Platform' script is attached to the moving platform in the inspector.


Moving platform Inspector



The 'MovingPlatform' script declared the Vector3 variable 'initialPosition' as private meaning that the value does not need to be changed outside of the script in the inspector.

My initial position which can be taken from the command 'transform.position' is stored in the 'initialPosition' variable.
The transform.postion is set every frame and equals wherever I was located initially (stored in initialPosition) with the addition of an offset where a new 3D vector is created. The X-axis is equal to zero, the Y-axis is equal to a Sin wave that alternates multiplied by five to give a larger wave meaning that the platform will move up and down in the Y-axis. The Z-axis is set to zero as the platform is not moving in this direction.

[Research] Traditional Poster Design (4CTA1214)

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
