Portfolio Building 2

In this portfolio building session, I continued to add more of my video game unit work on to my media portfolio. In this case, I added in a page that included two different pieces of work that showed different versions of the same character. The first image was a comparatively more detailed pixel art concept art piece of a stand-in example for the protagonist, who, in my game project plan, could be created in a Character Creation menu and therefore look however the player wished. The second image was of the same example character, but in this case, in a pixel sprite format with much less detail and pixels being used. I spoke about both of them, explaining what they were and stating what qualities I liked about them. In my upcoming portfolio building sessions I would like to still add a few more pieces from my video game unit, as I believe it was my most successful unit, for which I generated the most work that I was especially satisfied with. I would still, also, like to add pieces from my other units, as I think I created some effective pieces in these units as well, and it will be of a benefit to me to show a range of different types of work in different techniques and styles.

Portfolio Building 1

In this portfolio building session, I began to add work I had previously done in college to my Media Portfolio. Initially, I had only put in one piece of work, which was a slideshow featuring my Cinderella story. Looking through my old work, I decided to begin putting in my work from the Video Game Unit of our course. The first pieces I began to put in were various examples of work showing the Noblelady character, including the digital concept design of the character, the pixel sprite version, and a moving gif of the sprite which included a sword slashing motion. Under each piece of work I explained what the piece was, and said what I thought worked well about it and what I liked about it. After finishing this, I posted the pieces as one post. I then went on to create a second post following a similar format, only this time using the resources I created for the character of Queen Isolde, which also included a digital concept design, a pixel sprite, and a moving gif version of that pixel sprite, only this time the motion was of the character fanning themselves. I then went on to elaborate in the captions what the images showed, and what I thought worked well about each one and what I was most happy with. My media portfolio is not yet completed, and there are many pieces of work I would still like to put on to it. This includes more pieces from my Video Game Unit, as well as pieces from other units we have done throughout our course, including examples of photography, and other digital graphics projects. I would also like to put on pieces of my own work that I have done in my own time, as I have done many that I am very happy with and that I believe are a good reflection of what I am able to do.
