Today, all of our pieces for our game have came in the mail. We are sorting through everything and making a checklist to make sure that we have everything complete for the final day. Our cards are complete, however, we still need to print them out. Since laminating each and every card would be too expensive, we have decided to print out cards on the thicker pieces of computer paper so that the cards are relatively thick. Each person in our group has been assigned a task for today, because we still have to complete the website, finish the rule sheet, design our box and a couple of other things. Whatever we do not finish in class we are going to finish over the next week out of class.

Blog for 4/14

Due to the fact that last week we were working on our cards in photoshop the whole time, I was unable to post a blog last week. However, during the class period, Alex and I worked on our cards in photoshop for the class period. We needed to adjust many settings in order to eventually figure out how to make each card for each category identical. So, for movies, the back of each card in that category is the same and the front is a different design but the same for every card in that category. Nikki and Dhara finished the design for our board and are looking on the internet to finalize what we are going to order for our supplies.

During today's class period, our group worked hard but everything was very hectic. We could not figure out a way to multiply our document that had our playing cards on photoshop. Due to the multiple layers created last week on the photoshop document, we were unable to copy and paste the document containing 6 playing cards in it. Our original plan was to copy and paste the original document to a new file, then just change the title on the top of the card so that each category card has the same rules on each card, with different titles (the different titles that the other player will be guessing). After a long process of trial and error, we have figured out a way to make the cards on photoshop using an old template file we had saved. We are going to continue to work on developing a way to make our playing cards in the most efficient and time saving way. On the other hand, our game board is coming along well and we have almost completed the whole board on photoshop.
