Assignment 04
Working as a group, create a new set of assets based on the modified narrative or visual theme you created on Lab 07. This version needs to be completely different from what we see as Assignment 03. Please note that you will be graded on "how different" and "how creative" on this assignment.
Create at least 3 assets per student
Update the Game Assets List with the newly assigned assets with the names of students and upload to the class blog
One PSD file per team to turn in - group the layers per student, save the vector data and paths as much as possible
Bring a functional demo if possible
HW 08
One Blog Post per team - screen shots, detailed list of all the assets designed, with the names of the designer clearly typed for each for Assignment 04.
