Overall withing the interactive media section of my first year i dont think i got what i expected from the module & definetly did not enjoy it as much as i hoped i would of. I think this was partly don to the fact of i couldnt really make myself click with it and make the projects fit within my interests, i think i would have had much more fun with maybe creating a website or something which i felt i could put to good use, rather than just a quiz etc?. Although during learning how to make this quiz using action script 3 i have learned some basic principles from which i am confident with a few days effort i could build a simple portfolio website that i would be proud of, so i am happy to have learned those skills, i just wish i could have put them to better use withing our breifs themselfs.
My quiz itself i wasn't really a fan of & thought i was just making something completley random, but looking back, really it was almosr a pop culture quiz, with the questions being based on art, music & celbereties etc, i am glad looking back now i could tie it down to a theme & not sure how i can across managging that with no real thought proccess.
My influences as far as the asthetics of the quiz go were not really based around any other quizes i had seen/researched or knew of, but inspired by my interest in graphic design & graphic design trends. I used my interest in this & scanned my images folder for some images or styles i could use withing the quiz, & i noticed lately everything used well erm triangles & geometric shapes....so i decided to use these design aspects for the mian look & feel of my quiz.
Down to the technical side of the quiz.
After hearing everybody else moan how hard action script 3 was & how it was stupidly confusing....i actually found it quite easy to understand? (just very very boring), i think for some reason being good at maths helped me alot to understand the coding etc. This being said i should of perhaps tried more complex coding looking back? but the main factor was i just found coding very very tedious & simply wanted to finish it as soon as possible if im completley honest...although i may look into it another time when creating my website. Also i just noticed that within flash cs5, it has code presets for almost everything anyways....thats always helpful to cheat with.
Overall on this project i felt like it should of been my weakest as it perhaps had the least thought proccess and effort? but somehow i still prefer it over my 3d.
