Unit 73 HCI Week 2 Development stage

Yo!

Hopefully today I will finish all the HCI backgrounds. I will start to finish the start screen and start on the menu screen.

9.00 am started my shield and sword background. Got the base colour

9.52 am, finished the lion on the shield!
















10.30 Finished the shield ! All I did was make a lighter shade of the grey and a darker grey. Then I painted on where I wanted them, before smudging the colours to blend. This technique I have done on all the shading for all the images.
















10.34 am Flipped the sword to make a cross. I duplicated the sword's layers, before merging into one, then I ctrl + T to transform, before right clicking the mouse and selecting flip to horizontal to make the sword flip.

















10.45 am started in Flash.




10.57 am Starting to make screen two of my Flash HCI. Finish screen one on Flash, need to make the button work, but apart from that it works.

11.222 am finished my menu screen. What I did was get my sword from sword and shield, copy it to a new document. Scaled it to make it smaller, and turned it on a angle to represent the sword being planted into the ground. I did a rough sketch of all the ground. Recoloured the sword blade, coloured the ground in, before using the grass paintbrush to paint on some grass, then I did a gradient blue for the sky. I smudged some dirt onto the blade, before creating some blood for the blade.


















11.34 am. Back on Flash.........and Flash crash!!!!!! try again. Now I am working on Flash, The button is making the sound, but I can't get it to move onto the next screen.

I have finished the main backgrounds for my HCI, all the other backgrounds are simple, and will not take too much time to create.

Unit 73: HCI 1st day development

Yo!

9.05 am Today it the 1st day of production, and I will start with the fonts, do all the written work first. All main menu and option words are finished, now I am starting to do sub menus.

10.03 am Finished the sub menus, and now I am starting the rest of the writting.

10.08 am don the last of the writting, all done ^_^ now I am going to start working on the background art for my HCI menus
Started my artwork for the first page, used and photograph of a sword and sheild as a base, and drawn around them, so they are looking good. (So far)
Here is what the sheil and sword looked like at 10.57 am
















This is what it looks like at 11.44 am.














This is what it looks like at the end of the lesson at 11.50 am. Now all I need to do it make a copy of the sword and flip it for the other side, so the two sword meet in the middle, then finish the sheild, which shouldn't take long to complete.
