Incoming Flurry of Activity!
Yes you read that right there will be a lot more content appearing on here in the coming days and weeks. This is because I have my degree show coming up and I have a lot planned for it.
So over the next few days you are going to see the following things appear as certain deadlines to do with show come up:
- My portfolio work over the whole length of my course (more on this further down)
- Videos! Demonstrations of my prototypes for the Hunter of the New Dawn and Superman: Man of Steel game designs. Also videos of my various presentations and game designs over the past three years.
- More design focused reviews and posts about other games. I have a post for Diablo III in the works currently with the aim to get it done and up by the end of the week.
- Other stuff as and when I come up with it!
This website is going to be a focus point for my stuff for the degree show. I will have it displayed on my laptop at my area and on my iPad to show people I’m talking to. It will allow me to quickly display at showcase all my work in a nicely presented package. It will also hopefully show people that I mean business!
The portfolio work is going to be posted in oldest first order as and when it is ready. With a final master post containing all the info and links about it. So if there is some elements of confusion when it comes to portfolio work it should all hopefully make sense….eventually. I am planning on making the older work posts more reflective than showcases of the best of my work. This is because….well a lot of it is not up to my current standard and quality of work. The decision to take the time to look back at it all should be interesting for me as I will be able to see how much my ideas and design process has changed over the past three years.
The planned videos should also work well with these portfolio posts too and will hopefully act as accompaniments to the written posts about the various designs and projects. They will also hopefully lead people who follow me on Tumblr over to my YouTube channel and people who follow me on YouTube over to Tumblr. I’m sneaky like that you see.
So yeah that’s the plan so let’s see if I can get it done in time! My first major deadline is getting the prototypes cleaned up and ready for this coming Wednesday this includes at least recording the video footage I will be using to showcase them to people who visit this website. Everything else then has to be ready for the 11th which is moderation day which is a tad nerve racking! Then the actual show itself starts on the 15th and runs until the 30th at the UCLan Preston Campus. (I’ll post the final details closer to the dates). It should be an interesting experience.
I will leave you with this:

This is the design for my banner which will be accompanying me at the degree show. The top two boxes are some of my work from this year, Superman and Hunters of the New Dawn, while the bottom one is a mix of work from the length of my course.
