BA2b: Self-Evaluation

This project has been rather unfortunate:

I've not really kept up on slides has I have done before this, I haven't been in or been able to do as much work as I wanted to for the group projects and most of the time, my head hurts when I have to think so I have no idea what I'm doing.

Once I am able to get myself together, I think I work rather well. However it is the being able to get myself together thing that's quite an issue. I think overall, I've improved from last year, although I'm not sure how I'm supposed to keep up with the years' growing amounts of work.

Despite the outcomes of my physical contributions for the group project works, I do really enjoy working in collaborations. Although it seems my strengths in these only rely on ideas and following orders or requests...

I'm pretty disappointed but can do nothing more than submit all I can and feel like I should apologise profusely for this project, much like I did so for BA2a.

BA2b: Recap/Update

It has been over 2 months since I've posted an update.
During this time, I've been working on some things for the group project, and also doing a bunch of personal things.

Basically, for a small update on my life, I've (rather stupidly) come off antidepressants abruptly, so I'm hoping that hasn't taken a toll on me for the worse, though honestly I wouldn't be able to tell... There's been loads of things going on but I think I'm okay overall.

I personally have been feeling as though I haven't been pulling my weight in the group project either. I'm basically doing some concepts and graphics/UI, and I feel as though I've done the things needed of me but not more, and that really sucks. I've asked, they said it was fine but still :(

Half the time I don't even know what I'm doing...

These are some initial layouts I had created for examples of what the different menus could look like.

Below are some buttons for pause, resume, settings and the amount of moves left. These were the buttons given to me, and we wanted to go for a simplistic design.

Using the colours and shapes the other members of the group gave me, I then created different designs for roughly the same style.

I've uploaded them all onto Trello and got the feedback that they preferred the monochrome versions of the buttons.

I have uploaded the next two onto Trello, and have asked for feedback or what they think or want but haven't received many replies, due to everyone being busy. I do understand that I could work and do more but I find it very difficult to proceed, and I do work rather slowly...

These are examples of what the buttons would look like, from the template I was given.

This sheet shows more iterations on the buttons available, with black, white and transparent.

I personally prefer #4, as I think it stands out but not too much and I quite like that.

I am not sure what's going to happen to be honest and I do hate the fact that I'm not really knowing what's going on but everyone is busy. I'm just focusing on getting what's needed of me done, and of course submission.

I'm actually very unhappy with how this 13 week project went and I think it's mostly to do with me. I need to work faster and take more initiative.
