Evaluation

My overall experience of this project was an enjoyable one. I am satisfied with the final product and believe the design brief was met. My working process was quite hands on as I decided to dive straight into creating the poster. From the first session I had a rough idea of what I wanted to do, which was to create ghouls from various obsolete media forms. I started by drawing sketches of these ghouls and then went  into designing them on flash. My aim was to start with the technical work by getting the animations, buttons and coding working smoothly as I thought they would take the most time to do. Creating the animations was a difficult process as It was challenging to make the animations look smooth and as realistic as possible. Once this was completed I began experimenting with design styles. My aim was to go for a minimalist style to highlight the bold characters. I also didn't want to create any noise from a busy background. I began this by searching for minimalist posters on the internet and found various inspiring designs. I felt like all of these processes, although challenging, went well. After the poster was laid out with the buttons and animations I began working on sound design. This was the most challenging process as it was hard to find sounds that not only sounded clear, but also fit the theme of the poster.

At the end of this project I am happy with the final design and I believe the interactivity of the poster works well and is enjoyable to use. As well as this I believe the design is aesthetically pleasing. If I had more time I would have spent longer on the ghoul designs in order to make them sharper. Also if I was to do anything differently next time I would have used masks in flash to create a moving spotlight that swings with the light bulb.
