Gamefroot Progress

Hello guys, My name is Byron and If you guys keep up with my blog you guys know I am creating a game. So far my progress in this game is not very far. I'm not quite sure how I am going to do my first level yet. So far I've designed my character and part of my level. You can also try to create your own game in a web site called Gamefroot.com

Burrito Bison Revenge 
For this game the point is just to get as far as possible. The more gummy bears you squash the more money you get. When you have enough money you can upgrade your bison so he is stronger and faster. The feather you get the more money you get.  You can upgrade multiple stuff that will make your bison stronger and better. 
I rate this game a 8/10

What is Motion Design



Today's assignment includes researching and defining 2D motion concepts. According to wikipedia,Motion graphic design is a subset of graphic design in that it uses graphic design principles in a filmmaking or video production context (or other temporally evolving visual medium) through the use of animation or filmic techniques.
Motion graphics is the term used for all different types of graphic movements, including 3D elements, cell animation, stop motion animation, digital video, film and many other types of motion graphics. The designer of these graphics provides information through the graphic while guiding the readers through a story in some way. Motion graphics aren’t just for Internet use; they can also be used on TV and film.


The main difference between motion graphics and infographics is that motion graphics use animation while infographics are text-only. Infographics also have their own set of benefits when they’re done well. They work by combining different colors, styles, images and layouts to attract attention and provide the reader with valuable information.Motion graphics are also commonly combined with audio in their graphic styles.

Now that I know what motion design really is I am very excited to get started on this project/class exam. some examples that I can create with this program are: 

  • 2D animated short films
  • Apps
  • Advertisement 
  • Movie Trailer
  • Game Intro/ Trailer 
  • 2D Cartoon
  • White Board Animation
  • Animated Infographic

Photoshop Business Card Project

For our last project in my Contemporary Media class, we have been working on a business card. The first thing we did was download a link from our google drive called Vistaprint.com.  Next we opened the zip from the link and deleted the example layer. After we layered every design on how we wanted it. I chose orange and blue because I thought it looked good. I chose the monitor and the camera because tats what I like to do.

Q1FP GAME TOURNAMENT

RAZE

For the game "RAZE" once you create your character makes you pass the tutorial. The tutorial just walks you through the basics of the game. The basics is just how to control and get a hand of the game. The game has multiple options I suggest to get through the tutorial so you can be ready for multiplayer.

When I played online I got 25 Kills  and 0 Deaths. There are multiple options for this game I mainly played Death Match which is basically Free For All. I liked how you can actually change up the difficulty for the game. I enjoy playing this game. Through out the game I mostly used the Sniper and Rocket Launcher.


I mostly enjoyed playing Death Match. What I enjoy playing by myself more than playing with a team, that way if I lose or win its on me. most of the time I played I used Sniper,Shotgun,Rocket Launcher, and The Mini Gun. 
 I am satisfied with my stats for multiple reasons. I am very satisfied with my 204 kills I got. Out of those 204 kills I got I only died 39 time. My win/lose ratio was 8:0 that is very high ratio. 

I've been playing this game since I was little. I was introduced to this game by my brother. We would play with game when we would get bored of play ps2-3. We would always compete with each other to see who can get the most kills.

Adventure Time Lemon Break 

I played a game called "Adventure Time Lemon Break"  personally I like Adventure Time, as you can see I only made it to level 20. I've only been playing the game for 2 days. This game is fun and challenging. I love how every level becomes more challenging and more new objects join in every level.Even though I couldn't pass the last level it still was fun!







 Every 5 levels there is a boss you have to beat. I beat all,but the last boss. The boss usually throughs bombs and hides, to defeat the boss you have to shoot it with fireballs or use the button that shoots him.  

A long the way you have to free some prisoners and they reward you for freeing them. You also meet some friends and they help you out on some levels.

Create a Colorful Grunge Portrait in Seconds


This week I made a portrait in my contemporary media class. I first took a picture of myself in a program called Photo Booth. After that I made my portrait in a program called photoshop. It was easy because there wasn't a lot of steps that were hard to do. I used a small paint brush for my portrait and used a few other tools. Next I fixed the shadowing of my picture to make a Watercolor look and made it black and white. I thought it was fun to do because I put a lot of colors. my portrait turned out to look good.
