TANG PUI SZE reflection

Tang Pui Sze Tracy / Collaborative project / reflection

It was an interesting grouping in the collaborative project (points for poverty), it was my first time to group with those who are not in the same class.

I believed that our group had done a good job in division of labour, we generate d ideas together and threw out the ideas in group discussion. Afterwards, we divined our group into 2 main teams – graphic design team and animation team, and everyone of us is responsible for different part of the project, we cooperated with each other with good communication too. We show the tasks we have done on blog by time and meet every Friday to give opinions and suggestions to each other.

At first, we came up the idea of fat cat, which representing the rich people, and then, we started to do the secondary research immediately through filming the shop owners/workers asking them whether we can donate the points to famine area like Africa, as a result, we had collected their reactions with confusing faces.

Later on, we created an ironic scene that using Richard Branson (the fat cat)as the main characters of the game, and as the background of the story. It helps making the game become more interesting and create a strong structure of the game.

In this project, I teamed up with joey and we developed graphics design of some objects and weapons of the game, including doing research on the tone and manner of weapons chosen, and decide what kinds of weapons are being used to make the game funnier and look attractive! Those weapons are changed for times to reach the same tone and manner. I have put the main focus on the plane design and make different version for choosing. The problem that I have faced is how to make the aeroplane look like in 3-dimension,finally I come up with different angles of the plane so that it can suit the purpose of the game- to shot the fat cat with slingshot and the plane.

Lastly, it was a great experience to work with my teammates as I am learning from them as well. And this project helps to strengthen my ability of organization and graphic sense and how to cooperate with different people.

The following are some of the graphics I draw and developed so far:
