Proposal Developement   TASK 2 - DESIGN PROPOSITION MP1 - Gr9: 1. Task 2 - Design Proposition        PERSONAL ASSIGNMENT PROCESS Our group has three ideas to do in our project: an animation, a visual novel and a table top roleplaying game. The visual novel is immediately discourage due to the lack of project potential and it's not really enough. The animation does have potential but there a few problems with idea as members aren't as excited about the prospect as much and another member don't really have much to do as she is from immersive design. Ultimately, table top role playing gets picked.   There are few problem we have faced, two of the members are inexperienced with ttrpg and among those member, I am ...

For this project, we are to get into a group and do both topic presentations and a short animated video as the end result. Once we found our group, we start to have discussion on what topic we should do. Everyone gets to suggest a topic to do, and everyone votes which topic to choose. We come down to three topics that stands out. On a document, we then explore each of the topic.     We did eventually ended up with another two topics that have been split: one of which is about ponzi scheme as well as introducing another topic which is how cat are domesticated twice. In order to explore those topics further, we have created the first draft of the flip presentation to explain each one of ...

Information Design 03.2.2025 - 21.3.2025 Johnny Lam Wee Zhe (0363436) Bachelor of Design in Creative Media Project 1 - Animated Infographic For this project, we are tasked with selecting a pre-existing poster that is either bad or a poster that can still be improved. I have a few candidates to select from but I decide to pick this particular poster to improve upon.   Fig 1. You Are A Target The reason I choose this particular poster is that this poster has blocks of sentences and gives out a lot of information in one poster. In addition, the different colors of the poster are very saturated and clashes with one another. This causes the poster to pull attentions of viewers into multiple attention.  The first thing I do is to look for reference of other poster in order to get an idea on what the poster should look like. In order to stick with the topic, I use other cybersecurity related poster as my references.   References Here are the references I have collected: ...

For this particular project, I am using skittles to sort them into posters.   Once I have gather all of the skittle onto a large A3 paper, I sorted each of them into different color and here is what I have gathered.   Fig 1.1 Sorted Data   Once I have sorted them, I rearranged them into different shapes to ensure it looks much more neater. This also the stage where I realize that the candy is arrange similarly to blade of a wind turbine, so I decide to do the chart related to wind turbine.   Fig 1.2 Arranged Data Once I have arranged them neatly to one another, the next stage is to...

Animatics are essentially storyboards that are animated. This is the final stage before reaching the beginning of a finishes product. Before I even start creating an animatic, I would have to first draw the sketch up and a storyboard. SKETCH UP I must admit, I don't really draw that much of a sketch up here. I only did small bits of a sketch up before simply getting straight towards the storyboard. Here is what I have:   These beginning scenes are the only sketch up that I did to figure out how this things could play out. Although I didn't do much of the sketch scene, this particular sketch up does help me determined the start out point for the storyboard and eventually animatic. STOR...
