Introduction to a future Graphic Designer

 Introduction Post 

My name is Samuel Carroll and I am twenty years old I am currently studying in TUD Blanchardstown and am in year two of Creative Digital Media. I enjoyed all my modules from year one but the one that I liked the most would have to be Design Process and Practice as I really enjoyed using Adobe Illustrator and enjoyed completing the different tasks that we were given each week and getting to learn more about Illustrator as the weeks went on. My favourite part of the module would have been the Film Poster assignment which we had to use the film we had chosen based off our website from Web Development in semester one. My website was based off Wes Anderson the film director so I chose his film 'The Grand Budapest Hotel'. While designing our film poster we did a discover, define, develop and deliver phase for the poster putting our ideas together and narrowing it down to our final piece. This overall took about five to six weeks to do and enjoyed it a lot. I am looking forward to starting Visual Design Fundamentals this semester which has similarities to Design Process and Practice.

'The Grand Budapest Hotel' Design Process and Practice Film Poster

Some of my hobbies are I enjoy playing video games I like playing both single player games and multiplayer games and am a big fan of games such as the 'Last Of Us' made by Naughty Dog and Insomniacs 'Spiderman'. I also enjoy watching films and tv shows such tv shows include 'The Peaky Blinders', 'Game Of Thrones', 'Kin' and 'The Boys'. I also enjoy action and comedy films such as 'Dodgeball' and gritty action films like 'Brawl In Cell Block 99'. I also enjoy going to the gym regularly and running.

    Hi Samuel I really like design process and practice too. I like learning how to get better at using the Illustrator software as I don't have much experience with it so it was a fun module. I really like the process of making a film posters well I thought it was very good narrowing down the ideas to make the final product ! I also love the movie dodgeball it is very funny!

    Hi Samuel ! I really like the comedy film Dodgeball as well, me and my older brother always quotes one of the lines from the film because it is so funny I can not stop laughing ! That poster you created as well looks quite impressive. And Visual Design Fundamentals is quite similar to Design Process and Practice, Its just we are learning a lot about Typography, Lettering etc.

    Hey Sam! Its funny that you enjoyed design process and practice so much last year as I tended to struggle with that module! Your film poster for the grand Budapest hotel is amazing! I really like the art style and colour scheme you chose.
    I'm also a big fan of The Boys! I actually did an essay on The Boys for intro to digital media last year and I can't wait for season 3. Looking forward to working with you on the website project this semester and ill see you around campus!

    Yoo Sam that dodgeball movie was so funny I actually forgot about its existence till I saw your blog. The Spiderman games were actually sick. Design Process was an underrated module It was really fun to experiment with ideas and make posters for our favorite films! see you in class

    Hey Samuel,

    Nice to learn a bit about you in your blog. My favourite module last year was Design as well. Your poster is done really well. Fair play for doing a face on the person because they're always so tricky to get right. See you around.

 Beta This week on my project I have most of my visuals added and have my player movement fully working as well as my boundaries working well and are able to keep the player in the boundaries of the game as well and also while the boundaries took a while to complete there was satisfaction on completing them and getting them fully working. Ive also managed to complete my enemies script and have the player being chased by the enemies of the game as well which also I struggled with greatly and ran into a lot of problems such as the player not following the main player and tried videos on unity but non seemed to work and also referred back to the Unity Tutorial 4, I also looked at scripts online but just all together didn't work and just none seemed to work. I have the main bases of the game working such as the main camera following the player as well as the player being able to move. I also have the player being kept in the boundaries of the game which works well and I have my graphic...

 Alpha While working on the alpha of my website I have ran into some problems such as my player falling through the floor but managed to fix this by un clicking the Is Kinematic button the ground's Rigidbody. This helped greatly and I managed to solve the problem then, I ran into some other C# script problems but managed to get around them and get them all working together and fine which worked out greatly for my game and is working well at the minute. My Own Unity Game While trying to see the targets I'm a bit behind work wise and struggling a bit to get to meet the deadlines with the work I'm getting around to it and will need to catch up a bit and work some more but I'm in a good place at the minute and is working well.
