Reflection of Joey Jim Pui Ting

In this points for poverty project, I am responsible for making the weapon, including the art direction and execution( both colouring and drawing). At the very beginning when our group has came up with the wat the fat kat idea, we started to brainstorm about the weapons, we came up with some ideas like bombs, matches, hammers...etc. In the end, we made 8 weapons including the three I have just mentioned, we still have poisoned milk,chihuahua dog, gun, rope, slingshot and virgin aeroplane. We came up with the virgin plane at the stage of our production as it will be great and brillant if we can create an ironic scene that the fat cat( Richard Branson, the chairman of virgin airline) to actually hit by the plane of his company. To make the game more interesting, I have made a cashier, life bar, timer, trolley and health bar for the game. For the life bar, we gave 9 lives for the cat, the timer will count down by 60 seconds, for the trolley, it is to put the selected weapons by the user. For the health bar, energy will decrease from green to red. For some of the objects like timer and energy bar, I have made different version so as to let my group mates to choose which one look best and suit the game most.

In this project, I have worked happily and closely with my teammate, Tracy and Travis. We came up with the idea quickly and each of us work on different weapons and the result is great with the combined effort of we 3! I think our group did a great job in work distribution, we have separate ourselves into 2 group while working on the execution. We have both the media team and graphic team. We all came up with the ideas together and throw our thoughts out while discussion.
What we can improve is the software skills. I just know well about adobe illustrator and photoshop, but not good on after effect and flash, I can just help a bit on that, it will be great if I know these software so I can contribute more! It is a great experience to work with people from digital media as we can gather talent from the other field and work as a team. It is the same when working in ad industry, we have to work with different people for a good project. The joint efforts of each one of us make the result great!
