DESCRIPTION: By far my favorite and final project in this class, Santiago had the class create a game that can be played through the interactive aspect of it from coding. This by far took the longest due to the levels I had to create, the drawings falling throughout the screen, beginning scene and ending scene. This was by far the most fun project in this class and my best piece in coding.

DESCRIPTION: For my first assignment in this class, Professor Santiago wanted the class to code an illustration of whatever we wanted with an interactive background as well. I picked Flash simply because he’s one of my top favorite heroes but I wanted to challenge myself in coding. After numerous hours of coding, I am pleased with my work and how interactive it was. I turned the Flash into a non-human form with the design of lighting in the background and throughout his body.

DESCRIPTION: For this assignment, Professor Santiago had us first create our illustrations through Adobe Illustrator and import it into Adobe Dreamweaver. Due to my illustrations, I was able to give a very clear idea of what my life consist of and who I am through my drawings. From transforming illustrations to coding and making a mandala, I truly loved how it came out especially with the color changes in my drawings when interacting with it.

DESCRIPTION: This was my first ever coding project that I created in my freshman year attending the University of Tampa. The assignment was to create anything I wanted rather it was inspiration from a show, movie, or drawing. I chose Mordecai from ‘The Regular Show’. I deeply struggled and became very frustrated since this was my first time coding and using Adobe Dreamweaver. Even though it wasn’t my best work, I felt satisfied with my first creation. I wanted to give up but I told myself to challenge my weakness and this is how it turned out. Hope you like it!

DESCRIPTION: This class assignment was created for us to get a feel of creating illustrations with coding and lines. I made an ice cream and since it was simple it was yet effective. I had fun with this assignment since it was my first time actually knowing how to create lines.
