Animate

I have made a web-based advert for an imaginary nightclub. When planning this out, I started with making a sketch of how I would like my nightclub to look. I decided to make a gaming themed nightclub because they are popular and nostalgic. In my nightclub design, I have added arcade machines, buttons from a Play Station controller on the floor and lights on the wall in the shape of gaming items. I planned how the interactions will happen and made storyboards for them too.

For my name and logo, I decided to call it The Gaming Tavern. This is because taverns are often featured in fantasy games, and they are drinking locations. For my logo, I designed a tavern and made a badge outline for it, I took inspiration from gaming clan badges and emblems.

I made the nightclub in Illustrator and then used Adobe Animate to make things move and make the buttons. 

When deciding on where I would like my buttons to be for my popups, I chose on having them being on the wall and having the popups drop down but this didn’t look as good as I wanted it to, so I thought of changing this so the interactions were on the buttons on the floor which were inspired by the buttons on a controller. This idea made more sense than my original idea, as using the buttons on the floor links to the gaming theme.

From doing this assignment, I have learned new things that I think will help me with work in the future. I feel like I am more confident with using Adobe Animate and I know how to make interactive animations. I am more confident in using keyframes then I was before, and I understand tweening better.
