Sean Galloway Artstyle (DD1101)
For Mark's final task of the semester we must design and draw a character in three different art styles that correlate towards three different artists specifically. Sean Galloway is my first artists and viewing some of his artwork shows that he uses angular/ jagged shapes which make an enthusiatic figure.
I have almost completed my drawing of an military general which can be seen below:

Market Legacy (XB1000)
For Stephens new assignment we must create a 4 player board game that includes a repetitive pattern. We played some digital games such as Miss Managements and Diner Dash to gain an understanding of how the game should play.
I decided to create a game based on selling goods in a supermarket as Stephen explained that a good way to come up with an idea is to think of something you find really fun or really boring and convert it into a game. For me this is working in my local supermarket.
Below I have made some brief notes that explain how the game will play and some designs for the game board and scorecard that each player will possess.

4 players
Each player
runs their own supermarket that has just begun business (choose their own name)
Each player
starts off with a set amount of cash and initial stock for each resource
Resources
are represented as tokens that are placed on a player’s stock card
Players use
their own small figure to represent their location on the board
Players
move around the board using two dice, one represents the Y axis, one represents
the X axis
Each player
has a scorecard containing four different categories of food:
·
Meat
·
Dairy
·
Carbohydrates
·
Organic
·
These
four catergories cover a wide range of products within that food group for
example, Carbohydrates covers bread, wheat, flour, pasta etc
The board
is made up of tiles that contain different suppliers; there are four starting
tiles on the edge of the game board
Suppliers
provide resources; suppliers need to be purchased by players in order to gain
that resource.
Resources are
increased every turn according to how many suppliers are owned by a player, one
per supplier
Customer
cards are drawn once per turn which declare how many units of each resource
have been purchased that turn (one turn represents one day)
Event cards
are drawn by landing on a tile containing the event symbol. These can help or
hinder a player by confronting them with an event such as tainted meat, horse
DNA so sales are corrupted etc
On a
players turn they may trade resources with another player if they agree to it.
There is no limit to the amount of resources that can be traded however other
players cannot trade between themselves unless it is their turn.

Social Games (DD1000)
The final task for Ben this semester involves creating a poster about the history of social games and presenting it to the rest of the group. Our group has decided to divide up the subject into three major categories: Physical Games, Board Games and Digital Games.
I will be looking at board games and how they have changed over the span of many years. I found a nice timeline from John Radoff's internet wonderland which displays a brief summary of the topic in its entirety. The image can be viewed below:
Radoff explains how dice represent luck and apparently stemmed from Soothsayers using bone pieces to predict future events. While different forms of dice have been used throughout history, Backgammon was one of the first which originated in Persia around 3000BC.
Chess (being one of the most famous and classic board games) was previously thought to be a method of teaching battle strategy's to generals and then was described as teaching caution, circumspection and foresight according to an essay written by Benjamin Franklin "Morals of Chess"
