Jack Lowes created the main playable character and level for their game. They designed the character as a knight and focused on getting the proportions correct. They also created a magical spear. For the level, they used greys, reds, and browns to texture a castle. They added brickwork and plan to improve the shading and textures. In later updates, they added enemies and improved level design with more shading. For animation, they created a walking cycle but realized they lacked special effects. Sound effects were also not a perfect fit when added to the animation in Premiere.
Production Process Contents Page
The document describes the production process for creating a contents page for a magazine. It discusses importing text and images into Quark Express and experimenting with layouts and color schemes. It details changes made based on feedback, such as removing an advertisement, changing images, and adjusting the layout to look "full" like similar magazines. The final contents page had retaken pictures, one column of text, repositioned title and date, and added/changed graphic features to white and yellow.

DigitalQuest is holding a hack day focused on creating "Coffee Beans Art". The event organizers and teams are introduced. Coffee Beans Art involves using different colored coffee beans to recreate images by carefully placing the beans on a surface resembling a photo. Participants will choose coffee beans, take a picture, select a background, and their artwork will be displayed online. Additional features may allow using items besides coffee beans, like peas or rice, to expand creative options.
Production log
Robert Hillard-Linney created a production log to track his progress on an 8-week assignment. He drew up a schedule to ensure he completed tasks on time and drew initial character designs featuring long coats and old-style clothing to portray a futuristic character from the past. He also designed futuristic wrist devices and compiled mood boards with different designs to draw from for his character's final design. He created game levels in Photoshop using a similarly styled character for the environment. His final watercolor study compiled all the designs into one character. He then created an Illustrator image of the character, starting with outlines and adding colors to match the watercolor over about a week.

Carter Smith plans to create a 2D pixel art game for a school project, considering ideas like a stick man running game or improving upon a previous game called "Sweet Sweep." Other potential ideas are a 2D shooting game or a stick man fighting or escaping game. Carter believes the stick man concept could look professional yet simple and allow their game to stand out from other classmates' projects.

Shoot reflection and action plan
I think that all my shoots went well. For each one I made sure I had a three-point lighting set up to ensure that my images were as high quality and bright as possible. I also decided to use a white backdrop for my images to make it easier when I am editing them in photo shop. Now that I have taken all of my shots I need to work out where I want to use each image.

Pitch
This document discusses plans for a project on the theme of illusion. Specifically:
[1] The author plans to do a photoshoot in a natural setting and edit the photos in Adobe Photoshop to create a "trippy" collage style. They will post the edited photos on a webpage.
[2] They intend to use augmented reality (Adobe Aero) to create an illusion around historic places in York, where scanning QR codes brings up layered, edited versions of photos from those locations.
[3] Initial trial runs editing a sample photo and placing layers in Adobe Aero were successful, demonstrating how the app could be used to distort perceptions of real world locations.

Jay Birkin spent the first week of production working on backgrounds for their game. On day 1, they created a background bridge in Photoshop and selected a color palette. On day 2, they made a cave background and took ideas from their planning documents. By day 3, they created final top-down and cave backgrounds and an initial character. Over the course of the week, they built tools for the game and drew character faces.
Unit78 production log
Luke Summers completed several tasks for his Digital Graphics for Computer Games unit, including research, mind maps, character profiles, sketches, and draft illustrations. He created these using Microsoft Word, Bubbl.us, Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. For his final product, Luke combined his character illustration with a nighttime cityscape background in Adobe Illustrator to depict his character atop a building.
3. production experiments
The document summarizes an experiment Jay Birkin conducted to create a city landscape background image in Photoshop for a 2D side-scrolling game. However, the simple city image did not fit well in the game. For the final product, Jay thinks the view will look down from above the city as characters navigate through it. The image was drawn by hand using basic Photoshop tools like the pencil, move, and color selection tools. While more detail could have been added, Jay learned they want to include more pixel artwork, especially for characters, and use a dark color scheme in the final products.

In a reflection, the author indicates they will draw inspiration from Fire Emblem games for the final product's character designs, art style, and color palettes.
Construction
The document describes the process of creating a magazine cover design. It involved taking a photo of a brick wall for the background, converting it to grayscale, and selectively coloring some of the bricks. Images were edited and cut out in Photoshop before being arranged on the background in InDesign. Text size and placement took some adjustments to balance with the large background image. Multiple layers were used in InDesign to structure the overlapping images and text.
Photoshoot Planning
This presentation outlines the planning for a photo shoot to create images for a front cover, contents page, and double page spread. The model was placed on a green screen to allow easy removal of the background during editing. All clothing and props, including a microphone prop to look professional, were prepared in advance. Key items included an R&B-style outfit for the main artist and additional clothing options of a scarf and jacket. Photography was done with a Nikon camera chosen for its sharp quality suitable for a photo shoot.

A weapon was also included for the character to collect. Next, the character was added. Finally, animation was added to make it into a platformer game, which was completed.
7. production reflection
The student began creating their video game character using Photoshop by designing a female character in a dress using the pencil tool. They also began designing objects like handbags and clothing for the character to collect or dodge. The student then created two soundtracks for the game using the website Beep Box, which they found simple to use. When first beginning, the student felt rushed and didn't properly plan their game, struggling especially with the background. They simplified the character's movement to work better with their experience. The background was the most time consuming part, but the student got better at pixel creation as they progressed.
Final project experiments
The document discusses experiments the author conducted to develop techniques for her magazine's aesthetic. She took polaroid photos to capture the raw, gritty style she wanted. She also edited photos in Lightroom to refine images while maintaining a blurry, documentary style. Additional experiments included pixelating models' eyes and drawing on prints to anonymize subjects while conveying characteristics of Generation Z. The author also played with opacity layers to create a glitchy effect and tested different writing methods like a graphics tablet, scanning, and Photoshop to incorporate text snippets in a way that breaks up the photos without overwhelming the magazine.

Steve Midgley, Fairgrove
Steve Midgley founded Fairgrove Homes in 1995 with his wife Chris after working in the construction industry and experiencing a recession in the late 1980s. Fairgrove Homes is a family-run business based in the East Midlands that has built over 270 homes across 30 sites in its 20 years of operation. While the company was building close to 50 homes per year in the mid-2000s, the late 2000s recession caused production to drop to only 6 homes in 2010, setting the company back by around 10 years. Fairgrove Homes has since recovered and aims to build 36 homes in 2015 and return to 50 homes per year by 2017.

Cd sleeve presentation
The document describes the process of designing a CD sleeve in Photoshop. Key steps included:
1) Finding a template and starting edits by brightening photos and adding contrast.
2) Choosing photos for different pages and resizing them to fit the template.
3) Creating the front cover using a photo of the characters by a tree, adding a green hue and darkening the tree.
4) Adding a vine frame around the cover and editing out a leg cast. Text was difficult to add.
5) Finishing touches like a barcode, thank you's, and website links to make it seem realistic.
Photoshoot
The photographer took multiple photos of a model during a photo shoot outdoors and indoors. Several poses were captured to create diversity, including some that mimicked famous images. Some photos were considered for the cover but ultimately not used due to issues like blurriness. One photo of the model looking directly at the camera was chosen for editing onto the CD cover due to its high impact.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
