Red Bull Pong Game - Narrative
School's over and it's time to relax. Tons of new video games are available, but you don't feel like playing any of the new age stuff. You grew up when video games were nice and simple, and your looking to relive some of that old school action. There's an irresistible urge to play something simple, fun and retro, just like in the good old days. You haven't got the time to go on adventures with Mario, you want something more basic that still captures the thrill of a good game. You know the only way to achieve this satisfaction is through the classic masterpiece Pong, Red Bull style. The same old Pong you know and love, but with a whole lot more energy.

Skate Deck Poster - Final & Story
 |
| This poster is a reminder of how our world works. Its everyone for themselves when we go to the bare basics of things. Everyone wants success and will go through others to achieve it. Fish are used to symbolize animals that are far distant from our selves, however still share the basic need of survival and well being. A cartoony look was made in order for it to look somewhat comical, but upon further inspection one will discover the true, deeper meaning behind this poster. |

Death Note - (manga)
There are dozens of famous anime's and manga's out there in today's world and many of them very interesting and exciting to read or watch. One of my favourite manga/anime's in my opinion, which I read as a manga, is Death Note. Death note isn't as main stream as lot of more commonly known anime's, however it's very well known to anime fans and is widely considered one of the best.
Death Note is a story about a high school student named Light Yagami who is extremely intelligent and crafty. Essentially what happens next is Light finds a book called the death note and if he writes someones name inside it, that person will die of a heart attack within 40 seconds of their name being written. The book even allows for the writer to state how they want their victims to die if they want another method aside from a heart attack. The story basically revolves around Light who starts off by using the books power to kill criminals, but the power of the book eventually gets to his head to the point where he starts killing off whoever he chooses. Attached to the death note is a death god (shinigami) who is the true owner of the book. The story gets very intricate and interesting as it progresses after more characters are introduced. The other main character simply named L is a genius detective who tries to put an end to Light's killing spree. It becomes a back and forth battle throughout the story as the two try to out smart each other in unorthodox ways. The story is incredibly interesting and grabs your attention from the beginning to the end. Overall Death Note is an amazing story 12 volumes long. Its not for young audiences however, but is an excellent read or viewing for a more mature crowd.

The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time - (video game - N64)
The Legend of Zelda holds one of the best series of games in one collection. However whenever Zelda is mentioned, one game in particular always comes to mind. The best Zelda game, and one of the greatest games ever made, Ocarina of Time for the Nintendo 64. The reason Ocarina of Time is so great, is it really revolutionized adventure games in terms of storyline, game play and graphics. At the time, this game was top of the line in every way. Even now people such as myself consider this game to be the best ever.
Its a story about a young orphan who lives alone at a small village in the woods. His world is in danger as an evil power starts to consume everything. The kingdom's princess (Zelda) is kidnapped by the evil entity (Ganondorf) responsible for all the dark creatures taking over the country (Hyrule). And it's at that point that the orphan (Link) whom you control, rises up to save everyone and be the hero. You soon become equipped with a sword and shield to do battle with, and as the game progresses, you unlock dozens of unique and exciting weapons. You venture out into the world and battle all sorts of monsters, making the game challenging and fun. You even get to ride horse mid way through the game with a very unique riding game play system. This game can last days to weeks to even months depending on whether you get stuck on one of the various challenging puzzles the game provides. Overall this game is extremely fun to play and it gives you a real sense of accomplishment and satisfaction once it's over. The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time is in my view the best game ever made and to this day remains a amazing experience for anyone.

Super Smash Bros Brawl (video game - Wii)
Super Smash Bros Brawl is the latest version of the popular video game series. Smash Bros is a Nintendo based fighting game that features characters from all different video games. The object of the game is to battle with your opponents and try to knock them out of the arena. This game is the third installment of the series and is exclusive to the Nintendo Wii. The game has excellent controls that are simple and easy to learn. Players have the choice of using either the Wii remote alone or with the nun chuck extension, as well as the classic Game Cube controllers. The game plays very smoothly with great reaction time from controller to character. Graphically the game is also very pleasing. It has a cartoon like unrealistic look, that suits the overall style of the game. There isn't much of a storyline as this game focuses more on the battle system aspect, however the story it does present is vastly better than its predecessors. Overall Smash Bros Brawl is a very fun experience for people of all ages as its endlessly fun and very easy to learn.

Shoe Ad (Min Skoa 71) - Work Time
Brainstorming: 40mins
Sketches: 30mins
Storyline: 20mins
Logo Removal: 1hr
Final Ad: 3hrs
Total: 5.5hrs
Shoe Ad (Min Skoa 71) - Storyline
The storyline for my project is all about Min Skoa 71 being a new and interesting brand. Its meant to be a new yet still simple take on the average walking shoe. Striving to stand out from the rest, not because it looks extremely vibrant or unusual, but because it has all the characteristics of what makes a desirable shoe. Its suppose to look as though it can compete with the big shoe brands, because of its casual, clean and unique look. Min Skoa 71 is meant for everyone, and its simplistic yet appealing look was designed to prove that.
Shoe Ad (Min Skoa 71) - Before & After
 |
| These are my before and after images of my shoe for the Min Skoa 71 shoe ad assignment. I used Photoshop to erase the three white stripes off the side, as well as the original logo found on the back and the tongue of the shoe. |
Shoe Ad (Min Skoa 71) - Ad Ideas
 |
| These are a few ideas I had for the Min Skoa 71 shoe ad assignment. Both ideas are somewhat similar, however they have some substantial differences. I plan to take what I like from both and create a polished final product. |
Shoe Ad (Min Skoa 71) - Mind Map
 | |
| This is my mind map for the Min Skoa 71 shoe ad assignment. I tried to think of as many things as I could that relates to a good shoe. Specifically things that I believe would make a good shoe. |

UFC Undisputed 2011 (Video Game - PS3)
I often play lots of video games, but one in particular that I play everyday is UFC Undisputed 2011 for PS3. I'm a huge MMA fan and this game is simply the best for the sport. It features the UFC's original five weight classes and all it's top and popular fighters. The game has many different features, from simple single player exhibition (my favorite) to two player matches to online multiplayer. This game is a good step up from the original 2010 version in every way. However there is still room for improvement. Knock outs should look and feel a little more realistic, rather than sudden basic topple over after a good strike. Another thing that they didn't improve on this the original version is the "getting rocked" sequence. After you land a clean strike against your opponent and deal enough damage, he gets "rocked" however the screen merely turns black and white and your opponent begins moving lethargically. In a real fight, once someone is "rocked" they tend to stumble over, even fall right now, not just walk around slowly.

Inception
I'd like to talk about Inception which is a movie that I watched awhile ago, but also saw again recently. I feel that it truly epitomizes a good movie in every way, and it's depth makes it memorable. I liked watching the great acting displayed by Leonardo DiCaprio as I felt he really embodied his role and captivated my attention from beginning to end. Besides the great acting, I found the story very creative and intricate, unfolding beautifully throughout. This movie truly had it all in my opinion, from great special effects, to a very original storyline. Inception is by far the best movie of 2010, and what of the best movies I've ever seen.
