HA2 Task 7
Evaluation
During this part of the project i aquired new skills in using Adobe Flash. I found the project difficult at the start however after progressing and developing my skills it became easier. I based my character taking influence from developed games already. The research i gathered helped me gain a clearer understanding of 2D characters. I began to find creativity in designing my own character however i wanted it to be sharp silent and an assassin tyoe character.
I chose to name my character Hench because he is a muscular character and hench is a slang word for calling someone strong. Also i gave my character the skill of having excellent accuracy as a sharpshooter. this would be my characters ability as other characters may have super powers. i thought it would be an interesting ability to have.
The most difficult part of this unit was using Adobe Flash as it was my first time and only little tutorials were shown on how to create things in flash. Creating my Hench presentation in flash was difficult espescially because it was where i had realised a mistake was made. I hadnt kept my work tidy and there were layers over layers when i was creating my character in adobe illustrator. If i had kept my work tidy i may have been able to move my character around or move certain body oarts of my character around. However i had to just make do with what i had and carried on learning from my mistake.
Overall this Unit has been a fun creative and intresting topic to study and i mostly enjoyed it.

HA2 Task 1
Project Charter
Using the skills I have developed in using Adobe Illustrator and Flash, I have 5 and a half weeks to produce an innovative, fresh, original and slightly peculiar 2D vector character for a live external client, Lazy Eye Media. The client would like to use the character across a range of new media applications and so it will have to be flexible and have a strong background. I will produce a clear detailed profile on my chosen character, updating my production log and schedule as I go along. This will help me move on to my next assignment.
