Final Project: Further Research

Image
 For further research i continued reviewing gameinformer website. I continued with this website because their content is highly liked by the audience and is actually written very well, moreover this the only website which has more than almost 18 articles on valorant , the same game I am writing article on. Thus, it was of great help. Reading this website helped me in a lot of ways. I was trying to talk about a lot of aspects mention over here in my article as well but wasn't able to find correct academic vocab for it. So, while reading it I got an idea of how to share those aspects maintaining the academic boundaries. They also added the valorant trailer in their article as they were introducing the game which gave me an idea, I can also add some of the clips from you tube as well avoiding copyright.

Major Project: Further Development

Image
So, with the help of the rough points I showed in previous project development post and the research I did for my article, I started writing the article. When it comes to writing a script or an article i am more comfortable with a pen and page instead of just on word in front of screen. Its just my thing as its like the screen just blocks my thought process. So for the first draft i wrote it on the register of about 5 to 6 pages. The whole article on the register was organized and suppose to be final article for proof read.

Final Project: Further Research

 For further research i viewed "Gameinformer" website. I decided to research it because they also review games and have quite a large audience reading them, out of all games i chose COD: modern warfare 2 , mostly because it was one of those games i've played from the collection and also it is of of those games which has multiplayer and story mode both. I was about to start the cons part of my article so this research did helped me a lot with it as it was showing the negative aspect of COD. However i didn't like the part where he started his review quite weirdly by saying it a very unpleasant game. As in my opinion every game has positive and negative aspects both so its better to share both of them in your review. I did like the part where they added close-up shots of first person shooting on the targets as i might do the same in my article in addition with some of my videos of valorant clips.  To read full review click on the link given below, COD: MODERN WARFARE 2

New Website: About me

Image
 So for the new website i copied the same about me as of previous one with just some minor changes. Me, My-self and I My name is Daniyal Aamir, I live in Leicester and I am basically from Pakistan. I am a student at DMU university. Back in my homeland I was one of the best valorant and 8 ball pool professional player of my region, the clips of which are available on my YouTube channel "dhani bro" go and give it a subscribe as well :)  Progression Route So being a writer and  gamer at the same time is not a fun thing, as you want to play games all the time. So, when I was told I have to write an article on some topic, I decided it to be about the game I play the most " Valorant ". In my final project I will be discussing valorant in detail, pros and cons of it and much more, so those of you who are actually into gaming and stuff like that just grab some snacks and stick to the website coz we have much more coming on games. After that i added my photo which was taken

Website Creation again

Image
 So, I wasn't totally satisfied from my website look so I asked my class fellows and the teacher. They were also of the view that website doesn't looks professional and needs some editing. So i decided to do it again and for that i created a new website with one of the default templates this time. After selecting this template, I started editing it a little bit according to my choice. I changed the top left    "Nicol Rider" to "Daniyal The Writer" After that I copied my previous "About me" and pasted it with just a little bit of editing on the new website's "About me". The font size of paragraphs is 26 and the Font name is "Avenir Light". The font size of headings is 40 and Font name is "Neuzeit Grotesk". I also added a little bit of animations to the text as well. I also added my picture which was captured by Zoe in the university studio and added it on the left side of my about me. Then i changed my profile pic f

Major Project: Development 1

Image
 So, to begin I just created some bullet points roughly while maintaining the sequence in which I will start writing my article. These bullets point will help me figure what and how I will be starting a particular feature of the game which I am about to review and what sequence will the reader find him/her-self comfortable in.So basically the concept of making this rough mind map was to make sure the ideas are saved and organized enough to help me while working on my project later on. I added a point to discuss why i am choosing this game for a review, the development of the game from the basic, how was the early access{ beta version} and how much it was appreciated and how many changes were made.The format of the game, the agents and map info, the articles research I did for the project and the game progression with time. I also added the point where i will be discussing the benefits and drawbacks of the game.

Software Testing: Using Flipsnack

Image
 Here i will demonstrate how i essentially created a flipbook using the Flipsnack website. The main idea here is that i was testing this online software to see how this could be used on my Wix website. I chose to create a simple magazine with a couple of screenshots which i took while creating my website. So, initially i converted the screenshots from JPG to PDf format to make them effeciently upload on flipsnack. The process for this was simply to search jpg2pdf.com on google and upload files overthere and the site will do the rest. i then saved them on my desktop as a combine folder. Then i opened flipsnack website, logged in with my university mail. The welcome screen appears.  On this screen there is an option  upload pdf  , I uploaded the folder saved on desktop. I pressed next button. And the final result was infront of me. I like the idea of a flipbook for magazine as i think it worked quite well and gives the reader feel of a book somehow as the reader can flip pages. It was ju

Website and Research: Destructoid and GamesRadar+

As i am creating my own website i will study two websites and compare and contrast these. This research and study will help me in understanding how to manage my own website and make it reach that academic level that is required. Thus, i will consider the overall colors, backgrounds, design, navigation, typography, user-friendliness and mobile view. I will be looking at Destructoid and GamesRadar + as the content of these two artists is almost similar to mine. I will be looking at them in more depth as part of my research. I will begin by looking at Destructoid's website. Below you can view the homepage: Homepage as we can see is quite good, has a lot of options in the navigation bar containing almost all the options related to gaming. Search button is visible and easy to access. As destructoid is a huge organization with large number of gaming experts, therefore reviews of different games can be found written by the pro writers of those specific games. They are using dark theme wi
