LITe Table
A college project to develop an application that allowed users to see their timetable.
This application allows users to log in, If they are a member of the college to give them direct access to the college time table. It also sllows people who are not apart of the college to have access to the timetables.
Why have an account? When a user has an account there are multiple other features that allow the user to book rooms as well as see who has booked them and at what times.
The psychology of colour is important in design, as we can stimulate or suppress feelings to our desire. As the famous painter Pablo Picasso said – Colours, like features, follow the changes of emotions. Red stimulates emotions; it represents lust, love, anger, hunger, danger, and many other feelings in us. Red tones would be good on a restaurant/takeaway website or app, or a site
associated with some of the feelings described above. Blue is associated with intelligence, learning, professionalism and seriousness and is said to stimulate thinking. It is a good colour for school, college or business websites or apps. Red is hot and blue is cold; using these colours creates a balance to our scheme, where the purity of white will act as a link between the two.
Phone Redesign A redesign on the user interface on a samsung galaxy express 2. Inspired by Dr.Who.
I am a massive fan of Dr.Who. With this project I
shapes as decoration on the T.A.R.D.I.S, hexagons
wanted to use an aspect of the show. I began to do
and circles. The colours was blue on the outside and
some research and looked at Time And Relative
several different colours on the inside depending
Dimension In Space (T.A.R.D.I.S). The modem
on the actor for the Doctor. I then decided to go
of transport for the doctor and the one thing that
with circles for the design. I looked more into
remains constant in the 50 years the show has been
the show and use the design of the language
running. I look at the shapes, colours and layout of
of the Doctor (Gallifreyan). Which is
the T.A.R.D.I.S. It had has only ever had two main
only lines and circles. So I went with the aspect of the language from the show.
With this project I kept the layout simple and clean with time and date always on show. On the lock page there should be a way to access the homepage, phone, message and notifications. I have also designed a way to allow instant access to the camera. On the homepage there is a way to access the phone log and messages since these are the main function of a phone. I then draw out a start to place circles at the tip of each star to allow users to customise the homepage. To demonstrate how folders work I then applied a connection from the circle at the bottom right side of the start to the centre circle to allow a user to search through a file they have created out of their favourite apps. As my third page I did the incoming calls page. With a image of the caller and an accept and reject of the call.
Fashion Fotogizer A stop motion animation to advertise a application to prevent the user from being late for a date.
This project was as part of a team. we had to create a application that would magically allow the user to get the perfect halloween outfit or any other outfit they need when they have been prevented by their busy life from being able to get dressed in time.
Stricking A Match This college project was to show a side of our personal life that we have a passion for. Mine is juggling
This project done alone. I use help of friends for recoding and set locations. the sroty is about a young man entraced with fire. Who goes out into the night and performs with fire.
Web Design
A college project to create a user interface. the pourpose of the site is to showcase student work.
With this website I wanted to aim for a unique look and experience for all users. Which led me to create the rhombus style system. I also used grey to keep the user from being destracted by the website itself. But incorperated colours to allow users to be drawn to certain areas of the website.
Run Giorgio Run A college project to create a scrolling game based on the world cup 2014.
The code began as an infinite runner. I then added obstacles which are the cones which spawn and move across the screen. Next Suarez was added as the monster to create an ending for the game. Points can be gained by making Suarez eat cones. where the user is Giorgio running from Luis who is trying to bite you. I used a variaity of different programes to design the charaters alone for this project. I started the anitional design on photoshop. Creating doodles and scribbles of how I want the charaters to look. I then took the doodle into illustrator and designed the final look of the charaters.
On the following page is the software design of the game. Which allowed me to make each page of the game easier. keeping variables the same and being able to logically think about it. before heading into the code.
Husky Painting
A personal project to try and use a digital pad with photoshop.
With this project I wanted to use the digital pad. To test out a skill I have not used before. Allowing myself to improve in a new area of design.
