Backgrounds andvlevels

This is my level 1 and 2

This is mt level 3 and 4

And these are my starting screen and the loading screen.


How i created these: 
I used Adobe Photoshop to create these different backgrounds and i i started by making a rectangle by using the shape tool and then i made a smaller rectangle but i made it really long which i am using for my walk way and i also used the paintbrush to draw all of my background props and i also used the circle and rectangle tool to create the factory at the end of the final level once you go though the cave.

evaluation

1. Introduce the project - 
For this project we were asked to use our creative media methods and skills to produce and present an interactive media project. We were asked to produce our own 2D platform game, for my game i chose to use World: Plants and trees can talk, Mission: Bring down the to powerful corporation, Character: Mammal.

For the game we had to create our own characters, backgrounds and the plot for the game to be based on. But we also had to put a secret into the game so like a plot twist. 


2. Research & what did we do and why
Secondary - We researched different types of mobile apps to see what sort of thing that people are interested in and we also had to research about a game that already exists which i chose Pac Man for and i found out that the game doesn't have to be complicated to be a world wide game and one of the original games that everyone knows about.

3. Planing and pre-production 
Ideas for plans 
Brainstorms
Specific paperwork
While we were planning our work we were going back to our research on other games that are really popular to see what they have in them and what makes them stand out to people so while planning we had to make sure that it would stand out to people. 

4. Production
What we did? We had to produce a 2D game 
What we used? We used Photoshop and Illustrator to product our game characters and the background and then after we did the basics then i went a bit further and i make a couple of different levels for my game with different backgrounds for each level.

6. Conclusion 
Next time i would change the time frame i do each different thing because i ran out of time quite quickly so i had to do most of the work at home and in my own time outside of college and i would also make sure i am up to date with all of my work each lesson we have work to do.

7. Pear-Feedback
Jake: I think that your work is really good and i think that you could improve your levels a bit so they look a bit better.
Reece: I think that your work is nice but could do with some improvements such as to make your work look smarter and also to make sure you are always up to date with all of your work.

Badges

First i had to crate a new A4 document on Photoshop and then next i had to crate a elliptical by using the 'Elliptical shape tool' to the size of H: 25mm and W: 38mm.


Next i had to double click on the Layer to bring up the 'Layer style' and once that was open i had to go to the 'Bevel & Emboss' style and then i played around with the 'Structure' and 'Shading.'

Then we had to create two more so i copied the layer and then paste it so it created 3 different circles but i had to change the colours so they are all different and then i had to use the text tool to right 'badges' inside them:






Business card

To start with i had to create a new document on Photoshop which is A4 sized and then on that document we had to create a smaller box using the Rectangle tool to a size of W: 85mm and a height of H: 55mm.
The next step was to change the colour to what ever colour we wanted so i chose gray as it shows above, next we had to copy the layer that the small box is on and paste it so we now have two box's and then i did this over and over until i had 8 box's so 4 business cards front and back. 

In the different business card's i had to get some text so i went onto Dafont.com.
Once i had chose the type of style that i wanted then i clicked on it and wrote in what words i need for example i wrote 'Hello' in the box:
Next i decided that i would like some of the business card to have patterns so i went onto google images and typed in 'Patterns' and then i chose which ones i wanted and then i had to save them onto my hard drive and then i put them onto Photoshop and then i had to make them to the same size of the box's from before by putting them behind the layer of the original one and then cut around it with the pen tool.

My main character

This is the main character that i am going to use for my game because it fits the background because it will be on a world with only plants and trees. 
to make my main character i had to get a picture off the internet and then i copied and pasted it onto illustrator and then i made it transparent to 50% and then i traced around it using the pen tool and then i added a fer bits like the like the different tusks and the different shape of them.
next i had to use the fill tool to fill in the different parts of the mammoth.

Learning how to use Adobe Illustrator

In this lesson we were told to go onto moodle and then go onto a power point that shows us how to make a basic cute animal by using circles and squares. 

For my first images that i created:
and the second picture i created was by getting a picture of a lion and tracing around it:
