Design and Milestones.

I continued to design game user interfaces in photoshop. I also started working out how to approach the story's approach e.g. narrative - This is something to think about as I should write a script, If this approach is chosen. The multiple endings and general storyline need to be decided on and annitations on the designs need to be stronger so, when implementation occurs, I know what I am doing.

Milestones were introduced to my gantt chart on Microsoft Project. Also learnt about time, resources and tasks. Tasks need to be listed and completed to create the final and complete project. For example, user guide and justification. Time, on the chart, is decided depending on how much attention is needed per task. Resources, the physical items needed to make this project. For example, cameras or computer software.

Microsoft Project & Designing

On wednesday 22nd October, I started desiging two sets of layouts for the start page and the frame around each. I also started designing and creating the characters for my story. I used images from the internet and used them for a starting point for my own designs, these were done in photoshop. Over the half term, I designed two storyboards and two frame layouts and justify our reasons for them. I have done both the story boards and the two frame designs.

I also started to use Microsoft Project Planner, It is a useful programme which helps draw out a long term plan, gantt chart, by diving the project into individual tasks. The organisation of it means you can have a section, with many subtasks, which can go into large/small detail. This will be worked on through out my project. Timings of tasks will be as accurate as possible, but will be then changed throughout the project.
