Game designs - Game frame & Controls - Work in progress!!!!

Rather a productive week! I have started to draw out the game designs, starting with the image that will frame most if not all of the games.

This is work in progress so looks very simple at the moment, but you get an idea of the concept. The game itself will be placed in the view finder 'screen' and the game will be played using the control buttons.

Moonfruit glitches

Struggling with some glitches in Moonfruit so the web development is in slow progress :( Errors reported to Moonfruit, the are usually very quick at responding to problems so fingers crossed I shouldn't have too long to wait!

3D Model of camera

I have created a 3D model of our camera using Sketch Up. The model will be used to teach users how to navigate their way around a camera.

This doesn't include the lens or the flash gun yet.

contact images amended

Tried a variant which I prefer, showed it a friend, they also preferred this line version rather than the solid fill. Will run it by Becky also.

Moonfruit advised the colour issue could be because they prefer RGB to CMYK colours, I changed all the images to RGB and all bar one look better, so there must be another colour issue, I'm still looking into it.

Contact images

I chose a simple envelope and telephone handset to represent to calling and messaging facilities that we have for means of contact.

The pink colour is correct in the illustrator vector hex code f615c7, but exports to jpg and png as another colour altogether, tried other colour settings for export but cannot get it to match?! Have added it to the website for now, but will do some swotting up and see why it does that and how to rectify it.

Profile image

Here is the image for our profile page. The specs, albeit a nod to the Two Ronnies, is representative of both Becky and I.

I created this image as a vector in Illustrator, exported as a jpeg. This is ideal for me as I need as much pen tool practice as possible!
