Over the past few weeks in game design, we have been focusing on learning design elements through Adobe Photoshop. It has been pretty fun and informative as well, even if some kids are a little slow in terms of learning new things. But the most interesting part is what we have been using to learn. Orcs, and lots of them. We have a set template that we can copy the orcs from and use to show different elements such as value and distance. Every day we watch a video explaining the concepts and how to do them, we follow along and are required to make three different examples in each folder. Overall, I think its a pretty fun project, but it would be better if we could use the sketching tablets and have a little more creative freedom. 7/10 would recommend for future use with a few tweaks.

Over the course of the last two weeks in game design we have been focusing on storyboarding. This has had a lot of vigorous work put into it by the various students and has produced some very "unique" pieces of work, as well as a new high score on the human benchmark reaction time test. (mine was .06) overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the process and would like to go further in depth in this process and have had a lot of fun drawing and creating a character as well as their story.
Ok, so, heres a deep idea. What if all of those clip arts that you see of little stick figures drawing people, what if they are some of the best artists of their world, and that everyone who sucks at drawing happens to draw almost photorealistic things. In fact, this exists now, simply because I came up with it (in theory anyway) but that brings us into theoretical physics, and thats for another post.
