End of Year Show Layout

It has long been discussed and ignored that we needed to measure and be made aware of what our layout and space allowance is for the End of Year Show. With this drawing closer and closer, we finally got an answer in regard to our confusion. Each team will get a designated space and each person will have a board to use to present renders, visuals, concepts and developmental progress images that those attending the EOYS can see.

The allowance for equipment for each person is 1 board, 1 table and 1 mac. We have been told that the dimensions for the boards are 80cm x 120cm and we should plan out what images and size of sections we wish to include on these. In addition, our space has to facilitate a place for our poster as well as room for a mac to sit on the desk surface to display our showreels.

Desk and Board Size

Below is the initial plan, we as a team have drafted together to give us an idea of how we want our area to be laid out -

Based on this, we each started to plan out what our boards would look like and try to maintain a set up on each board that compliments the others beside us. My panel will include environment and company, Megan will have character development and modelling, Lorna will be presenting the character rigs and animation and Cassie will be presenting the Unity and technical side of the project. Below are the boards that Lorna, Cassie and I have designed so far for our draft boards -

CV and Business Card

Before heading into the big bad world of employment and potential freelance work, it is essential we leaving Undergraduate level with a professional portfolio of components we can use to sell our skills and help put us on the industry map to propel us towards a future career. This is in regards to two main pieces of self promotion. The CV and business card. It is important we have these designed, printed and accessible on the night of our end of year show so that company reps, directors and other industry members can view our projects and then take something tangible away from it to remember who we are and what we are capable of. When it comes to CV, I have always been taught through my years of business orientated education that it is simple, clean and not overly creative. I was always taught that colour is tacky, images are resented and icons are acceptable but need to remain minimal. When I approached this initial design stage of an updated and a...

Personal Reflection - Final Year

As the time to submit our project approaches faster than ever, it feels right to look back yea, at the last several months, yes over the last year of Uni, but also, over the last four years I have spent at Ulster University. This year was a year of superior unsurity, yet a feeling of excitement and wonder about what the FInal Year journey would be like. Being in the team I find myself in, was an amazing thing for me. Never in my four years as an Ulster University student, have I had more confidence in the ability and determination of a group of people to achieve a task wholeheartedly and true. Lorna, Cassie and Megan? You guys were the best team I could ask for in my Final Year of University *sniffle sniffle bleh* Taking on a virtual reality project brought with it many challenges both personally for myself and for us as a team. For myself, I found the technicalities and new software hard to adapt to. Having been out of the animation...

EOYS Finalising

As the End of Year Show grows closer, a lot of effort and thought have gone into promoting it, sending out invitations and getting things ready for the big night on the 7th June, 2019! A huge hats off has to go to the amazing committee that have worked so hard to facilitate and make the night happen. With their fundraising, planning and design, our End of Year Show, is sure to be a huge success and great celebration of all of our hard work! Personally, I have enjoyed helping out with my classmates preparing the rooms for the night. Painting, moving and rearranging the rooms so that each team/personal project has a good place to showcase their amazing achievements. Expected Map of End of Year Show (Created by Michelle Beggs)
