Placing elements
In this last class session, we brought all elements together. Kate had finished the profile cards, so we were able to bring them across to After Effects and place them in our scene. Pastel also finished doing a team picture that we will place on the final page of our project, this will be a loading screen.
As a team we also discussed a way to evaluate the three attributes that are on the profile cards. These attributes were Strength, Power, and Stamina.

Characters
These are our characters towards our project. They were hand drawn both by Pastel and Aylse, then altered a little in Photoshop, giving small amounts of color to everyone's toon.

Project continued
Over the last week our group discussed finer details towards the project. Font, music, and our origin stories were researched and applied. Each had the task of coming up with their own origin story that we can place on our profile card. Once that was done we needed to decide on a font that will match the theme of our project, Pastel took note of this.
The music was a little bit of a struggle to find exactly what we are after, this is still in progress.
We ended the class session by giving tasks to each person to complete by next week, we also included a concept of bringing in a prologue story of how each character meet.

Progression
Each individual from our group had set tasks to complete over the week.
Logan created mouse cursor and arrows that will be placed within the project.
Pastel and Alyse created charactor drawings, Kate created cards that our character profile will be placed on, and I created the start of our project within After Effects.
We discussed ideas for backgrounds and card design as we ran in to a few issues with the design itself.
In the end we decided on a final format that we will use. Please refer to the picture below.

Paradox
As a team we came up with the name 'PARADOX'.
It was my task to create that title and logo and present it at the start of our project.
First I went to the website http://www.dafont.com/ this is where I found a font that I felt was suitable for a project of this sort. I created our title logo, within Photoshop, then imported to After Effects to manipulate. I then decided on a particle effect. I wanted a bunch of small particles coming together to create our title and logo. This effect is known as the 'Card Dance' effect, and I used a handy tutorial from YouTube to do this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGx1Ur9GrSE

Title/Intro screen
Found a great link showing several different styles to an opening that can show your name/title within a intro

Decisions
At our last group meeting we decided to design a character select screen that is in a video game format and that will show our profiles and statistics once having selected a character. This was decided as a group, and we set tasks for each individual team member to complete before our next class session.
Pastel & Alyse had the task of Character design by drawing small sketches. Logan, the task of making individual layers so our creation has movable objects we can manipulate within After Effects. Kate had the task of looking at layout or design, and I had the task of completing a name and logo that represents the team and project.
