Reading 03

Reading 03 "doing"

This week for the reading task we had to find readings for our sub topic so for me while my idea has changed since the last week I am now focused on the positive impacts games have on mental health. I then found three links to readings online and used the 3 pass method to these and then using the review matrix we did last week also. 
With the first reading I used the 3 pass method and took the approach of Active Reading towards it as I looked at the author approach towards it and seen how he talks of the subject and gave it a quick glance over by reading the title and headings and so on. I then looked at the second read through by looking at the content of the paper and seeing at what the author has got to say about the subject. While for the third read through I found it quite difficult to do as by doing the first two read throughs I had started to agree with all the points the author has made and didn't feel like I had to question or challenge him in any way. 

After the first reading I had already done the same to the next two using the 3 pass method and hadn't questioned the author as I was fully agreeing to them and their points which may make me biased in a sense and thought it difficult to question them as well. There were points made to how it can disadvantage your mental health but with the sources no points made about it were very good and I questioned why they were put in the reading whatsoever.
For the first document I managed to get through with all three pass methods while the other two I only managed to get to the first two and not the third.

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...

 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.
