Lee - Evaluation

The brief we were set was that we had to create an interactive interface where the viewer/audience could interact either by playing games or pressing buttons. I began by collecting research on different interactive designs on websites. I found some interesting techniques and designs through my research I liked the idea of having animation or motion-tweens within my work. I began my design ideas revolving the disaster around meteors as I felt they were something different to the global warming idea that has been associated in the news lately.

The skills I have used are creating password and a scoring game as well as
I have used different skills creating a shooting game which involved using invisible buttons and creating scores so the player could keep keep a score of points. I really liked the idea of creating something this interactive and I had a lot of fun making it but found it challenging to keep track of the coding.

I think my weaknesses in this were the coding, I found it very difficult to keep track of what had to be added and what was needed in the coding. I think I struggled with coding but I think stress got to me in this project as I wasn't able to get my head around what had to be done within flash.

I like my idea for my design, I like the rough cartoon style of it which contrasts to dark and mysterious room in pitch black at the beginning of the design but I think it was let down by in terms of the execution as it didn't come together as well as I had hoped, but I hope for the next project I will be able to successfully create an interesting design as well as executing it well and effectively.
