I learned about how to create an augmented reality game with many different paths for the player to take. Giving the player more options is always more interesting for the player.

• What was easy?

Coming up with the idea. I’m a massive fan of the AR game Pokemon GO. Because of this, I had previously thought of ideas for AR games. Picking my favorite, I got to work and created LavAR

• What was challenging?

The augmented reality videos took up the most of my time. They were difficult to make, and were hard to maneuver properly.

• How could your submission be improved?

The rocks could have been tracked to a specific motion. However, the video was filmed in my driveway and was leagues easier to not track them since my driveway is all one color.

• How could I improve the assignment for the next class?

I’d cut down on the number of flows. I had made a couple I never intended on, and they felt redundant the more effort I put into them.

• How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios?

I’ll be able to use my video editing skills for another final project in my intro to digital media class.

I learned the basics of figma and how to use it.

• What was easy?

I’ve used a to do app before and wished it had certain features. Creating my own to do app with these features in mind made the app easy to create.

• What was challenging?

Trying to come up with a logo and name for the app. Most of the time the app was labeled as “placeholder title” and I couldn’t think of anything clever. On the day the queen of England died, I had an idea to use a royalty theme inspired by my colors. A bit morbid I know, but inspiration can come from anywhere. I called it ThinKing, and designed a logo to reflect the new royal aesthetic.

• How could your submission be improved?

I wish I stylized it even more than I did. Fancy patterns reflecting royalty would help the app stand out a bit more. It would also make it look less bland

• How could I improve the assignment for the next class?

There’s not much to improve upon. For a basic app, this was a fun project I enjoyed and it let me understand how to use figma.

• How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios?

Try to find inspiration from anywhere, even on bad days. Trying to make a positive out of a negative scenario can be a complex task that pays off.

I learned more on how to use figma, and I learned how to create a webpage that matches on mobile and desktop.

• What was easy?

Creating the bones of the website for mobile was the easy part. It was like what we had done last project but slightly different now that we had the menu.

• What was challenging?

Creating the idea behind the website. I had just created a website in another class, and I wanted this one to be different. I ended up using the same concept, but working it differently enough so that they are two distinct websites.

• How could your submission be improved?

I chose the colors for the mobile page. On the desktop page it didn’t seem to work as well. I think going back and choosing more tech styled colors instead of the natural theme I was going for would work better.

• How could I improve the assignment for the next class?

There’s not a lot to improve on. The only problem I had with this assignment was I felt like it could’ve been over with a lot quicker. Even after missing a few classes, it didn’t feel like I missed much. It dragged on for too long, and I would’ve preferred to get some of it done for homework instead of spending an extra week more than needed.

• How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios?

Hopefully this assignment will allow me to use figma even better. I hope that the next project my work can get more creative and stylized.
